Pick a Magic player for the dunk contest? 

Post#1 » by otownflava21 » Wed Jan 16, 2013 10:15 pm

The general board is going bonkers on who to select for the remaining slots for the Slam Dunk Contest. I'm always thinking about which MAGIC players can be elected...we got a few options, I'm not too sure who would suit best though. So i figured to let the community vote on who the Magic should promote for the 2013 Slam Dunk Contest.

Ish would be interesting because he's not even 6-foot, but can leap like a shooting guard. His lack of height would earn him more respect.

I still pick DeQuan. He's got the creativity that I think Harkless lacks to really be a contender.

I don't think the Magic will send anyone though because I haven't heard a whisper of any type of 'campaign' to send one of those guys.

I'd choose McBizzle. Hands down.

But I'm faster than sharks, so it's okay.

Okay so I'm admittingly surprised how overwhelmingly DeQuan Jones won this poll. I seriously thought Harkless would get him at least a slight run for his money!

Why am I the only one not overlooking JJ Redick?

The dude can lay up like the best of Darrel Armstrongs.

Mr. McRoberts is the best dunker, but the Magician that could win the NBA dunk title is easily Mr.Jones.

That was nice though. He just gathered a little too far from the basket.
