Patrice O'Neal - NBA Slam Dunk Contest (w/Visual AIDS)

On February 19, 2011, the “NBA Slam Dunk Contest” aired at the same time as the premier of Patrice's O'Neal's stand-up special "Elephant In The Room." Find out why Patrice didn't care. He explains exactly why NBA fans have lost interest in the dunk competition over recent years, and then breaks down the good and bad events that take place during All-Star Weekend, including “The All-Star Game,” “The Slam Dunk Contest,” “The Three-Point Shootout,” “The Skills Challenge,” and the now defunct "Shooting Stars Competition." The controversial 2011 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, which featured participants Blake Griffin, JaVale McGee, DeMar DeRozan and Serge Ibaka, is believed by many to have been rigged for Blake Griffin to win. Controversy aside, the 2011 installment of the competition left NBA purists with a bad taste in their mouths and even more reasons to want to either change or end the competition altogether. After pointing out some of the cringiest moments at the 2011 dunk contest, Patrice provides a brief history of the competition, starting with its inception and hiatus in the 70s and 80s, and then compares the different eras to explain why the earlier dunk contests were so special. He also compares different eras of basketball to explain how the overall lack of “ethic” in the current era has had a negative impact on both the players and the fans, causing a domino effect that has ultimately hurt the sport as a whole. This lack of “ethic” is evident across the board, from high school to college to the pros, leading to a lack of interest from the fans; more draft busts, short-lived college careers and even shorter NBA careers; a lackluster All-Star Weekend; and an eventual league of superteams dictated by the players, who are now friends and don’t have the same pride, toughness and competitiveness as the star players from previous generations. A few days after the dunk contest, on February 22, 2011, the New York Knicks and the Denver Nuggets finalized a blockbuster trade, sending Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman to the Knicks in exchange for Danilo Gallinari, Raymond Felton, Wilson Chandler, Timofey Mozgov and multiple draft picks. The acquisition of Carmelo Anthony would pair him with Amar’e Stoudemire in what was the Knicks attempt at building their own superteam to compete with the likes of Miami Heat’s superteam of Lebron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, and the Boston Celtics superteam of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo, etc. Patrice predicts what this trade means for the Knicks, and what the forming of superteams means for the league as a whole, followed by a hilarious synopsis of the key players involved in the trade. Finally, he explains how to properly build a superteam of star players and the always important “competent bums” to have a legitimate chance to compete for an NBA title.
