My suggestion is to create an octagon and have a fight tournament of all the NBA mascots. I think that would be interesting.

We're not there yet.
The Gasol's were the only Internationals voted in.
Now, under the current East vs West format, what non-US players can you argue will make the reserves this year? Horford? Maybe Gortat? Vucevic?.. not enough yet.
Too many American players will get snubbed from ASG appearances. Even the NHL had to drop their North America vs World thing a few years ago.

But, reality is reality, and the NBA doesn't look like they're going to do much to make us happy. So I figured, why not toss out an idea that I think still addresses the NBA's idea of what they want to do, while actually making the contest a must-watch again.

Just play the 2000 Contest on the jumbotron and call it a day.

There were still nice dunk contests after Vince Carter... don't pretend Jason Richardson didn't kill it the three times he was in (2002, 2003, 2004). Dude was one of the nicest dunk contest dunkers the NBA has ever seen.

You're right--- J-Rich had some great stuff. But the contests kind of slid overall overtime, that's all I was saying. Didn't feel like the same 'talk about the next day' kind of thing. But I hear ya.
**EDIT**-- Wheel of dunks, average crowd response at times, nothing as Vinsane as 2000. A few that were up there. But I stand by my first statement.
