At first I thought to myself "what a stupid idea you can't see them dunk so why and how would this be considered exciting at all", but after reading your post this sounds like a really good idea, especially how it could be used in-game. The only comments i have are if there are a lot of players with +10 creativity whats the tie-breaker for who gets to go into the contest, also handling should be considered in all types of dunks, because you cant dunk the ball if you cant hold on to it, and passing should be considered in specialty dunks if they player is throwing it off the backboard or something that involves throwing the ball. Overall this is a fantastic idea I hope it gets added.

I guess kind of like three pointers the player that dunks the most often has the best chance of making it to the dunk contest. This would take into consideration in part handling driving IS etc.

To be frank, I have never liked the dunk contest in BB, I just couldn't fit it in. But your post and formula made me reconsider the facts. Dunk contest needs some kind of creativity and new ideas. This would be the only flaw of dunk contest in BB. Other than that, I liked your idea and I believe that would add excitement to all star weekend.

I'm going to try to stage BB's first All-Star Dunk contest during halftime of this season's All-Star Game, to be played out here in the forum and thru the in-game chat.

I'd going to include some video of past NBA Dunk Contests, so we're not just reading the contest.

it might playout like this:

On his first attempt, Sean Ryan tries a between-the-legs jam, soaring from the baseline, passing the ball from left to right and throwing it down right-handed.

Need your help and cooperation...and honesty.

If you'd like to have a player considered for this season's dunk contest, send me BB-mail with his skills. I know giving this information may seem like Coke giving Pepsi the Original Formula, but truth is, I'm not smart enough to use the info to help my team. I also ask you to be honest...sure you can inflate your guys stats, but could you live with yourself in the morning? It's just for a little fun, please don't.

If there's enough interest, I may stage a Dunk-In on the eve of the All-Star Game.

I would think in terms of BB, a premier dunker would probably have good levels of driving, handling, jump shot and maybe something of either rebounding or shot blocking to demonstrate an ability to jump.

We've got 4 solid contenders, including a 6'3" point guard with serious hops, ready to participate in this dunk contest.

Flyers, Illusion and Hawks and Magic are all ready to put their best dunker to the test.

I'll close the entries at the end of games on Saturday night. If anyone else wants to get in, pls shoot me a BBmail with your player and skills.

I love the idea. However, management has opted to exclude any X-stepper from participating in the dunk contest due to an inadaquate on court performance.

Players are upset but we had to take a hardline stance to get guys going this season.
