What a fun evening for being a basketball fan. I loved every minute of it. I almost wish the skills contest was a little more drawn out. The three point contest was amazing, from the three-way tie for third in the first round, to watching Booker get hot, to watching Steph absolutely need to hit both of his last two shots and calmly knocking them down, to Klay catching fire in the finals.
And then there was the slam dunk contest.
That was the best dunk contest in a decade, perhaps multiple decades. Both Gordon and Lavine were fantastic. I agree with murrayyyyy that Gordon got jobbed, but what a treat. Hopefully this will augur in a new dunk contest era where it actually means something again. I remember back in the day when the dunk contest was one of my favorite sporting events of the entire sports year, let alone the NBA season.
