When we first watched the 2016 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, it didn’t feel like it would still be iconic ten years later.

At a time when some players skip All-Star festivities to rest, Dame Time actually asked the league if he could participate to give the event a big-time feel.

I’m on the fence about tanking. That said, Munzon has proven that he can be a top guy.

I’m not saying this is another Malice in the Palace—it’s not. No fans were involved. Isaiah Stewart ran onto the court instead of into the stands.

With that context, it should be easier to understand why certain players were traded—and why some were eventually waived.
