NBA denies Howard's request to raise rim to 12 feet

[triplet1984]

Dwight Howard should dunk it from the 3 point line. That'd be CRAZY!

i like the decision.let the rim where is it's place.not every player is 7'10 like d12 to dunk over a higher rim.of course the other player accepted the chalenge because they doesn't want to emarased themself but pls don't tell me the green and moon can make creative dunks on that rim..they CAN dunk but not make spectcular dunks..that's my opinion.

It takes like 2 mins to change it back, it wouldnt stay like that.

I dont get why they wouldnt do it. Its good for business period.

if you say that raising the rim is a bad idea, than you are no longer allowed to gripe about the dunk contest being boring, lackluster and non innovative...
