Honestly, if they can implement the 3-pt shooting contest, I think a slam dunk contest would be about the same. The only real innovation necessary is to come up with a formula to convert player skills into dunk ratings.

Frankly, to not have a slam dunk contest dishonors the art form made famous by the likes of Dr. J, Chocolate Thunder, Air Jordan and The Human Highlight Film.

yes, but we already had skills that translated into 3 point shooting (JS and JR) with dunking it is Inside Offense (you want a bunch of centers in the contest?)

I don't honestly know what the formula BB uses for dunking shots, but how about 40% Inside Shot, 40% Driving, 20% Handling with the usual modifications for Game Shape and Experience.

Problem Solved!

the next problem was the selection, with 3 pointers it works easily if you take the percentage and the amount of 3 Pointshots ... With 2 Pointers, they need extra stats for basket in the near, so that they aren't jump shots included.

Not really, they can just use the previous mentioned formula to determine the six or so best candidates for the dunk contest. No extra stats required.

oh, I misunderstood then, from your original post I thought we all where to choose how to train our players in various forms of dunkpossibilities/skills. And this was the part I found too complicated to add to the system we already have.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

as far as i can see, you don't need high dosages of inside offense or driving or jump shot to consider a good dunker... all it takes is maybe a mediocre handling, inside shot, and jump range... (maybe throw in a little height, age, and potential... to weigh down the dunking ability even more...)

the skills are based on a 5 on 5 basketball game, not the art of slam dunking... so even a mediocre in those fields could be a good dunker... provided with the height and the potential.

for me, the training option for a dunker isn't going to be needed... that's just my opinion...

Why jump range?
