Probably the only Laker I like.

Brown has something special brewing from a lil birdie....

I like Nate...fuckers are hating but was probably the same people who wanted to see him the 1st time.

DeRozan is a sleeper...

Gordon= eh no.

the dunk off is happening half-time of the rookie/sophomore game.

Im a LeBron fan but I want to say 'Fuck You' you got my hopes up, why the hell is nate in it again? I'm tired of him in the contest

I just dont see what Nate can do that he hasnt already. If Nate is going to come with something fresh then im more then willing to watch it. But he himself said the ship has probably sailed on him doing this. Its only cause he won it last year.

[A Tasty Burgerr]

I have very low expectations so maybe I won't be dissapointed

Too bad Potsie is hurt this season

[stevsta]

nate being in this dunk-off is mainly b/c he won it last year and he was under the impression if they(nba) ask you to do it you best do it and him thinking the champion should always go back

The first dunk is just sick:

Dunk-In is the dumbest thing since the Dunk Wheel (which single handedly ruined an entire All Star Weekend)

Why do these big stars not participate in this thing? All their predecessors did and made it a legendary contest and it's not like the Homerun Derby where it can fuck up your real game. You're just dunking 3 or 4 times and then leaving.

Howard says it takes a lot of energy to compete in the contest and he wants to conserve it for a playoff run.

He also mentioned how the contest is diff't than dunking during a game b/c people want to see originality.

Its turned into more a star builder then for something for the stars to do. If you look at all the stars that have done it in the past 10+ years or so, they've all been up and comers that the Dunk contest helped expose a little more on the national scale. I cant say I blame the stars for wanting to spend energy/risk injury to go anymore.. leave it to some young bucks, sit back, and enjoy the show.

That's a brilliant fucking idea. Except for the winner getting money.. they already have enough. 100% to Haiti.

[red33]

shaqs idea is great but take kobe out of it. he cant win it.

bring back jason richardson and the guy that came in second, desmond mason.

IMO Jrichs dunks were better the Vinces overall.

lol i think mason is out of the league.

J-Rich may still be able to do it

VC definitely not...doesn't have the hops like he once had.
