For the 2014 NBA Sprite Slam Dunk contest they decided to change up the rules including a “Freestyle” and “Battle” round. With the exception of John Wall’s great dunk and maybe a couple others, the contest pretty much fell flat. People wanted the old format back including former Dunk Contest participant, Tracy McGrady.
