If the media promotes them
"FAN'S" like yourself with pay to watch it.
People literally repeat verbatim inaccurate information about these teams and players they heard from the media talking heads they like and or respect. So, why wouldn't they believe in the media talking heads hyping up actual great unknown dunkers?
Be truthful.. what was the last great dunk contest and who were the top 2 contestants? Zach Lavine is a all star, but not a STAR, STAR and like I posted before Aaron Gordon isn't a star
was Jason Richardson a star? How about Harold Miner? They both put on great dunk contest shows and get tons of love.
