The Dunk Contest is unfixable because we have already seen every possible dunk

There's really no way to fix the Dunk Contest. I think they've jumped over the biggest human they can find... maybe it's just that we've seen every cool Dunk and there's only so many cool dunks that you can do.

The 2024 dunk contest was widely panned as one of the worst ever, supporting the idea that it is stale.

Mac McClung should be ineligible for the NBA Dunk Contest because he isn't an active NBA player

Mac McClung should be ineligible because he is not in the [NBA]... That is the NBA dunk contest, not the G League dunk contest. If you're going to do that, just bring people off the street.

Subjective opinion on exhibition eligibility rules.

If you win the Dunk contest and you're on a G League team, you should get like a two week contract.

Caitlin Clark and Steph Curry should compete in a logo-three contest at a future All-Star Weekend

I think in a couple years we'll see Caitlin Clark against Steph Curry and they're gonna do like logo threes, like extra long three pointers. And that would be cool.

The NBA eventually announced a variation of this for the following year involving multiple participants including Clark.

The 4-1 loss to Belgium was the worst USMNT performance in years

That was the worst performance from the US that I've seen in years. Just completely lackluster from the start. So much blame to go around. Tim Ream, friend of the program, good guy over the hill, turned into soccer Shawn Bradley before our very eyes got dunked on twice.

Subjective opinion on the quality of the performance.

Christian Pulisic was a 'no-show' and looked like he didn't care against Belgium

Christian Pulisic, the long anointed Captain America future face of this league for American soccer. Absolute no show of a game, I would say worse than a no show of a game. And then he checks himself out. Just looks lackluster, looks like he doesn't care at all. Had the most turnovers on the field of anybody. That played just really, really, really bad.

Subjective evaluation of Pulisic's effort and performance.

The US will never close the skill gap compared to the rest of the world in soccer

People will never close the skill gap. USA will never close the skill gap compared to the rest of the world in soccer.

Historically, the US has struggled to produce technical talent on par with Brazil or Europe.
