Real attraction of the evening, should the dunk contest still be highlighted by the NBA? When we see the 2022 edition, we can ask serious questions at Adam Silver. The show was won by Obi Toppin this Saturday, but was marked by its nullity.
Since 2016, and with the show proposed by Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine, we knew that the dunk contest would have problems in order to do better. All the same, we were expecting stars to take over: it will not be for this 2022 edition. The participants? Obi Toppin, Cole Anthony, Juan Toscano-Anderson and finally Jalen Green.
Completely failed dunk contest for the ASG!
It was the leader of the Magic who set the tone from the start for the rest of the evening, with a mill in timberland. If the idea can be interesting, we quickly understand that we will not go beyond the 2016 edition. It is confirmed a few dunks later.

You can find all the highlights in the video posted on the NBA’s youtube channel, but it’s better to move on:
It’s a fact: the 2022 edition of the dunk contest has failed again. If the stars refuse to participate, maybe changing the format wouldn’t be such a bad idea. It’s up to Adam Silver to play.
