Perturbed with idiosyncrasies in the NBA All-Star format and an underwhelming list of dunk contest participants? Then you should have tuned into Sunday's 76ers-Thunder contest, because all they did was dunk.

Behold, a tale in seven parts:

Embiid processes Westbrook

Joel Embiid's slam over, and look at, Russell Westbrook will live in infamy.

Score: 10/10

George flubs one

Trying to redeem his fallen teammate, Paul George tanks this tower over Embiid.

Score: Marks for style, 5/10

Russ finally responds

Brodie ain't going out without a fight.

Score: 9/10

Ben Simmons gets in on the act

Ben Simmons grew up playing with a Sherrin ball. What is that? Who knows, but this is a dunk, and a nice escape from George.

Score: 8/10

Simmons again

This time, it's Simmons right down the lane.

Score: 7/10

Russ gives Thunder the lead

Westbrook's anger at that rim was evident.

Score: 7.5/10

Victory for Brodie, Thunder

Not even Embiid can unsee Russ's glare in his direction as the Thunder dribbled out for a 122-112 win.

Score: 11/10
