So Howard is there as defending champ, fair enough. but Rudy Gay and Nate Robinson do NOT deserve to be there. Nate "Ill have 20 attempts before I hit the dunk" Robinson has been there the last what, four consecutive years. How about giving someone else a go. Gay had his shot last year, and came up short. Why weren't us Rockets fans voting for Landry or Von Wafer??????? I now A/S Weekend is not that important, still.........

How would u expect to do that? And you forgot I can only Alleyoop Rudy Fernandez.

Nobody takes the Dunk Contest seriously these days

A "taken seriously" dunk competition is a "not-so-much fun" dunk competition.

If the league took it seriously they would throw some new competition up against Dwight Howard and not the same guys from previous years

how can anyone take the dunk competition seriously when LeBron, Carter, Iguodala are not in it

I would argue that Carter has had his time, but I will concede Lebron, and Iguodala.

Really, I am more annoyed that Robinson is in it. what a crock!!!!!!!!

Howard won Last years, because he was by far, the most superior dunker, (and the year before that as well, but he got shafted!) But he had no competition. Seriously, what crack were they smoking when they put Robinson in again. David Lee would do a better job than him!

Actually, when was the last time a white man was in the Dunk comp, Scooter Barry?

it was The Birdman Chris Andersen

Barry actually won the competition

I dont think LeBron has much creativity.

Iggy should be in though for sure.. even GGreen

I'm very disappointed with the dunk contest selections. You can tell they're running out of ideas when they resort to the "fans, you choose the final contestant!" approach.

Yeah, I'm not even interested in this one at all. I'm not expecting much this year, hopefully I'm wrong.

same for Carter
but they can sure jump and they can really throw it down hard
Green's dunk doesn't have the explosiveness

Green has creativity, I would just like to see if he has anything else

Blowing the candle is lame? No, its creative.

What? How can it be lame with Kenny Smith screaming "OHHHHH THE DUNK CONTEST IS BACK!!!! OHHHH!" It's not like he does it every year or anything. (which, you know, if he did, would really help the perception that "no, it's not")

Take the damn announcers out of it and just put a soundtrack on until the judges are up. There isn't anything they can be thinking/saying 99% of the time that I need/want to hear and don't already know just by watching.

duplicate a classic dunk is also lame (Dee Brown covered your eyes dunk)

Yeah, people underestimate how slippery the hardwood is, even when you're wearing shoes.
