Re: Kenny Smith ruined the dunk contest.
Kenny did help ruin it but he wasn't the only factor.

Dunk contest has been dead since 2001, it was dead for awhile before that though, to be honest.

Kenny Smith helped ruin the dunk contest, but let's be real, sponsorships, choreographers, players listening to their g@y cousins for ideas......things like that are the driving force behind ruining the dunk contest.
Kenny Smith really does instantly make everything he is involved in noticeably worse though. He is a horrendously annoying, flimsy, low quality brand of @sswipe.

As annoying as Kenny Smith was, I couldn't help but wonder who put him up to all of this. Even Smith wouldn't have been able to mastermind such a horribly choreographed disaster piece. It feels like he's selling a little bit of his soul out there.

Yea but Kenny Smith's ICONIC "it's OVER ladies and gentlemen" is now infamous. Give credit where it's due, and STFU. This has NOTHING to do with Kenny Smith.

No, those weren't that great either.
The last ICONIC superstar caliber player dunk contest was 2001.
VC, T-Mac, Francis ... and I forget the other guys.

In the right capacity, I'm actually totally cool with Kenny Smith. I thought he did a great job as the lone color commentator to Kevin Harlan for the Rookie Game last night.
However, as his role in the dunk contest has steadily increased, his annoyance level has also risen at an exponential level. To me, there's a huge difference between having a co-host help judge a contest while commentating (like he did beginning in 2000) versus the abomination put together this year.
I think everyone understands Kenny Smith was not the guy responsible for brainstorming these horrible setups. Just like actors aren't responsible for horrible scripts. They still look just as bad when it inevitably fails though.

J-Rich dunks were pretty amazing. He just wasn't a big name or superstar as you put it.

Hell, VC wasn't that popular (still popular to start) until the night after the dunk contest.
