And after a couple of kinda-duds, to follow it up with one of, and in my opinion the, greatest dunk contests of all time certainly would warrant that type of commentary.Ģ004: While he was doing commentary, Magic was also a (mediocre) judge in the event.
It was Kenny who really brought up the "Dunk Contest is back" line, while Magic just agreed with him. So let's take a detailed look at Magic's incredible enthusiasm towards on an event that by his account seemed to be resurrected every year.Ģ003: Now I'll give Magic a break here. And while doing it, there was one thing that would stand out every year: Magic would exclaim after a particularly spectacular dunk "The Slam Dunk Contest is BACK!!" Seemingly every year, without fail. Starting in 2003, Magic would provide commentary on several consecutive dunk contests. Now, as you can guess by looking at my flair, I have nothing but love for Magic, and like all of you, I'm kind of "eh" on him as an analyst. Now, as someone who as a child re-watched the contests roughly 70 times, it's hard not to notice one constant in one of those contests. So it's time for one of the greatest events of the year, All-Star Saturday Night! There are few joys in life greater than the Dunk Contest, to the point where President Obama has gone on record as saying it's the "Greatest event our great country has ever produced."
