All the doors are closed to me, even the eyes of God are blind to see the oppression that is being done to me, and the ears of God are blind to hearing the cries of my constant cries, my midnight cries, my daily sufferings, my daily prayers and the jurists and The cries of my every moment from this oppression, oppression and cruelty that from the beginning of my life, fromThe first events of my life that I remember are deaf. So how can I hope for others when God has done nothing for me and trapped me in a cruel, cruel, cruel, and oppressive family? I am Morteza, I am from Iran, I am blind, I am 34 years old, I am unemployed because in our country, Iran, there is no work for healthy people, let alone disabled people like me. I live with my family in a small town in Iran. Of course, in appearance, they are my family, but in reality, they see me as their own enemy, and with me, who am their child, only bI was born blind, and I was not to blame for this, but my parents, because they were illiterate, considered me as a disgrace only to myself for my blindness and disability, and were always tortured as severely as possible. They beat me to the point where they threatened me with a knife. They put me to sleep and put the knife on my neck, and I was terrified and scared. Get up and until fullThe thin skin of my hand burned, they would not let me go. And they tortured me many, many times, to the point that my brothers, with the support of my parents, tortured me in front of my parents' indifferent eyes, and told me that I was blind. You are and you should be tortured to the extent that they created the belief in me and in my mind that anyone who is blind or disabled should be tortured because it is a disgrace to the family and society. And unfortunately, their torture is still going on, and only a kind of tortureThey do not consider it for him, so how can I complain to someone who considers my law as his property, of course, the current laws in Iran. Unfortunately, the government does not have a place for people like me to go and live. I really have no choice, either I have to commit suicide or I have to stay in the same house that my family has turned into hell for me, under the severe mental and physical torture that my family inflicts on me. And more than ever with a horrible gradual death that tormentedI want to stay. So if you still have a little mercy, fairness, conscience, compassion, love, humanity, knowledge, ideology, humanity and altruism, help me, hold my hand, reach my cry. If you are in contact with institutions and organizations affiliated with the International Committee of the Red Cross, or if any of you are a member of human rights organizations or the International Committee of the Red Cross or Red Cross organizations in free and pro-human rights countries, listen to my writings, my voice and my cry. Come on, maybe they're a little fair and think of me and a way toSave me from the clutches of ostensibly wolves, of course, if human rights institutions and organizations and the Red Cross actually support human rights, if you are a citizen of a free country or a citizen of a free country like the United States, Canada, Australia, Great Britain, Norway, You have Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and the European Union.

I feel bad for Obi because so many people are saying this was the worst dunk contest ever but he’s getting lumped in with the other 3 dudes who were totally incompetent. Even the reporter afterwards had the nerve to make her one question to Obi basically asking “do you agree with Reggie and D Wade that this dunk contest sucked?” Obi was awesome in this dunk contest and was a deserving winner. If he can come back next year and just hit his finishes a little more flush he’ll repeat as champion and shut everyone up.

    I thought the team competition was an interesting take on the "PG" skills challenge this year. Maybe try that with the dunk contest and force these guys to come up with something more unique/impressive. That and/or update the scoring to account for tangible metrics like vertical jump (relative to the dunker), distance traveled, and force of the dunk. FInal score = 75% judges score + 25% metrics score

      you beat me to it lol but yeah something like ice skating where the difficulty of the dunk is factored in and you wouldn't need to give the judges your dunk program beforehand either so the surprise isn't ruined it's just that you wouldn't want mfs trying really hard dunks and getting points for them even if they brick or w/e so weighting the style points or judges' score or w/e is a good idea
      another idea is bring back the Foot Locker Slam Fest and have NBA dudes go against other non basketball pro athletes that can dunk like Davante Adams n Tyreek Hill n Noah Lyles n shit in a bracket or as teams or something cause I'm sure that would motivate mfs to actually compete n shit lol

    Three ideas for the dried up dunk contest. First is low rim dunk contest for better more creative dunks (8.5-9’ rim). Second have teams like skills contest, 3 nba players vs 3 pro dunkers on 10’ or 9’. Third is to have a dunk contest on trampoline courts. I think the reason the dunk contest is dry is due to the lack of creativity and we see the same dunks every year. Tell me what you think about those.

    I’m not seeing anyone mention the actual issue with the dunk contest. It’s not that these guys can’t dunk or do flashy stuff, the problem is we’ve seen pretty much every type of dunk possible and many different variations. Outside of using props which we’ve seen already, it’s hard to create a new dunk without possibly killing yourself trying to flip in the air. That elite players are smart for not participating, these way too much pressure for something that can’t really be achieved… just my opinion, I would hope I’m wrong

      I think stars wouldn't deal with that pressure tbh. Pick Kobe and LeBron. If those two had been the only two participants in one season, we would still be talking about that contest even if the dunks were "average", just because of a possible beef between LeBron and Kobe.
      Yes, most dunks have already been done, which is why the NBA should try to recruit stars known for good in-game dunks and make them go at each other. (Jordan vs Wilkins anyone?). Ok players can deliver, like Lavine and Gordon in 2016, but that was an anomaly. NBA should focus on bringing stars to the contest so we can stick to a narrative, because that's what the NBA is about: narratives.
      So I think it's more about their egos than pressure to deliver Tacko Fall dunks.
      Talking about that, a 1v1 contest would be awesome as well, but stars would probably be afraid to accept the challenge and maybe get 'embarrassed' by another star.
