And then there was the dunk contest…

4. The dunk contest will suck again.

There will be few, if any, stars participating in the dunk contest. Someone in the NBA committee responsible for the competition will decide to add some gimmick that no one will care about to make up for the lacking star power. Remember the ‘Wheel O’ Dunk?’ What will they come up with this year and how long will it get booed?

5. Who will dunk over a vehicle?

Once upon a time Blake Griffin dunked over a car and got a massive promotional deal out of it. Since then, dunking over vehicles had happened way more often than anyone ever wanted. Hopefully the trend won’t return this year. But if it does, who will be stuck with this lame gimmick?

6. The judge and fan reactions will be the most entertaining part of the dunk contest.

No matter who shows up or who judges the contest, the hootin’ and hollerin’ of the judging corps and the other NBA athletes will trump most of what happens on the court. Who will have the most videos of their reactions circulating the web afterward? Kobe or Lebron?
