While dunks are still cool, they're not as cool as they were in the 80s and 90s when more people started doing them. It was then that they got fancier. There are only so many dunks people can do these days, so when I see that fancy stuff, I'm just like "meh." That is why the NBA dunk contest needs to occur every three or so years and not every year. It's just played out. You can tell by the crowd's reaction during the contest. They and everyone else have seen those dunks countless times.

Don't get me wrong - I still like seeing dunks and they're still impressive (and I love seeing one of our own doing them), but they're just not as cool as they were years ago. They're way more exciting during an actual game because they get people on their feet and cheering if it's during a pivotal part of the game. Some of my mates back home disagree with me, but that's OK.

Pretty sure he was right up in the front of the student section for the UNLV game, with LeVert, Spike and I think MAAR. Sadly not as animated as Denard and Roundtree were, though...
