    Stephen A asked the perfect question Shannon had no answer lol
  • @thejanglezclan
    Lack of creativity hurts the quality of the dunk contest more than anything.
  • @chrissmith4993
    Remember Bron said in 2009 that he was entering himself in the dunk contest the next year at cowboys stadium? Then outta nowhere he didn’t participate. I wonder why?
  • @iamcoachace
    Stephen A def got leaner and healthier the last 2 years. Good for him
  • @dcdj35
    These are facts. It’s akin to Steph never doing the 3pt contest. And it being full of G-League and end of the bench players.
  • @nelsonshut6840
    That last question had ink stumbling and bumbling his worlds lol
  • @kaaygoldmine
    Ja, Ant and Jalen Green should do it next year. Zion too.
  • Think that’s kinda wack considering OTHER stars didn’t wanna join the contest as well at that time .
  • @eddieogun
    They've finally CORRECTLY placed blame on Bron for something lol
  • @lastassassin5674
    How do you set the standard that your above the dunk contest because you don’t wanna play in it ? 😂😂😂 bruh media be saying anything and fans be eating it up
  • @mathewdavis2427
    Shannon gets so triggered when people dare speak against his king
  • @z-mane1438
    I don’t think it’s all on him but he did play a major role in it
  • @ezekielthemack
    Stephen A. is 100% correct on this one. Lebron apathy towards the slam dunk contest is the cause of its demise.
  • @adetring2855
    Why Shannon looking like that I’m a huge Bron fan and I agree with Perk/SAS. Bron knew he should have participated his rookie year or that year he announced to everyone after Dwight won his championship that he was going to be in next year’s contest but backed out.
  • Bro, BRENT FREAKING BARRY was NEVER considered even a regular dunker and still did it. How can you excuse LeBron for not doing it, saying he never wanted to do it, when he literally said he was gonna do it in 09, then backed out?
