The NBA is considering changes for the 2025 NBA All-Star game using a tournament style event according to Shams Charania from ESPN.
The NBA Dunk Contest has lost its magic as well. Once a marquee event showcasing creativity and athleticism, it now feels predictable and lacks star power. No more Jordans. No more Wilkins. Many participants are lesser-known players, and while talented, they don't captivate casual fans or generate the excitement that household names do. The absence of big stars makes the event feel secondary.

Indeed Lebron's global superstardom and reputation as one of the game's greatest would draw unprecedented attention. His participation would inspire creativity among competitors, restore credibility to the event, and bring back the awe and anticipation that made it legendary.
