Do you like the style of the Rookie Challenge?

Do you like the style of the game? No defense just dunks 3's and passes. Its like one big streetball game.

I like it because I like seeing the slam dunks and moves. There is no D played just crazy dunks.

It starts not looking like basketball but more like the skills competition.

It was fun in the begin, but it really started to get borring.....Sure its nice to see some slam dunks every now and then, but this was just getting stupid. The defense didnt even try to slow down the dunks, they were just getting out of the way and hoping to pull off a dunk like that in the offense. For me it wasnt worth staying up all night to watch that boring game, I hope the All-Star game will be (I doubt it will be boring)

the game style was boooooooooorrrrrriiiiinnnnngggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!.
only dunks and 3pt shot. even nene passed the ball to melo for a dunk. no challenge. i hope there should be more at stake in the game like which team will lost will wear a mascot costume for the rest of the season hehehe. or half of their salary will go to the winning team. i think they will play a lot better with that.

It's not fun when they just let each other dunk.

I agree with whoever said that there should be more at stake in the game.

I appreciate the highlight plays you see in such exhibition games, but it would be nice if the game was a little more competitive at times. If the game is a blowout and there's only a couple of minutes left, perhaps defense could take a holiday. But the rest of the game should be competitive.
