True, from an owner's perspective, but from a fan's perspective, they love to see the loooooong ball. And I've always maintained that the All Start weekends are for the fans, not the owners.
I imagine that the Clippers' owner wasn't thrilled when Blake Griffin leaped over a car during the dunk contest a few years ago (just think of the risk if he mistimed his leap or didn't clear the hood), but I know for a fact that the fans, myself included, loved the spectacle that was on display.
