NBA Slam Dunk Contest Stay or Go?

Now much has been said about the slam dunk contest for years now. It's back it's gone it's back again it's gone again it's irrelevant whatever the case may be everyone has their opinion on the game. Now here's my take. I could care less whether it stays or goes because it's all a matter of entertainment. The guys in the NBA are good dunkers but most are game dunkers not creative dunkers, because when you look at the dunk the do in a contest they have all been done before. The only thing they switch up is where they take off from for a little more difficulty. If you want to see real dunking take place then you should have seen the Showdown at the Convention Center, those guys are legit creative dunkers. Why because they can take more risks than NBA guys can. In the NBA the reason most of the "Big Names" don't do it anymore is because they are at All Star weekend because they are the best players on their teams. The best guys on their teams won't participate or waste their energy on something that means less than the All Star Game which doesn't mean anything either. But if they want to make the Dunk Contest exciting here's what they could do. Bring in guys from streetball tours to do the dunks with no rules anything goes. You could take 2 All Stars have them recruit some ballers from the world who can dunk and have judges pick the winners. The fans shouldn't have a say in any of the winners of the contest. There are a lot of things you could do to make it exciting rather just bringing in the "Superstars" of the NBA we already know who they are. Keep the fresh faces coming. Tron Dunk was awesome.
