The Slam Dunk judges were right
Jesse D. GarrabrantThe success of the All-Star game overshadowed this, but I don't want to forget that on Sunday afternoon, everyone was whining about the bad judges at the slam dunk competition. I get it—I love whining about stupid rules and bad officiating and whatever else is whine-worthy. I recently wrote a whole thing about how replay is alienating sports fans and ruining the games we love the most. We live in a time of failing institutions, and the only pleasure left to us is pointing out, with great anger, exactly how the failure is happening. For a certain kind of person (read: me), it's essentially the new national pastime.
But it's important to be honest with ourselves when the situation calls for it, and the “controversy” over last night's slam dunk contest is a sham.

The same guy who had to be told by the NHL to stop licking his opponents, as if he were an unruly toddler. The same guy who crushed his Stanley Cup parade last year, despite the fact that his team actually lost the Stanley Cup. Whoops!
These transgressions are just the very tip of the Marchand iceberg, and the iceberg is, by some miracle, larger than his nose (there's plenty more scumminess to be found in his “Dirtiest Hits” video on YouT..
