In the headlines...............please oh please be true so the dunk contest won't last 3 hrs watching a guy attempt a lame dunk 30 times over again.

That's too bad because I heard we were trading Redd for Nate and Jerome James. We could really use the publicity.

Excuse me, I believe Randolph Morris is the main piece of the deal, followed by Robinson, followed by the lottery protected 1st.

The Dunk contest is the lamest thing in sports now, and Robinson made it way worse, and getting a pitty win. The guys head is already to big for his small body and giving him that win makes him thnk he accually is the best dunker.

The sticker dunk is the only dunk I remember from last year, but the judges were too afraid of Nate filing a height discrimination lawsuit to reward Howard.

I agree, Iggy got robbed after his dunk when he started from behind the backboard.

If the NBA really wanted to make the dunk contest impossible to not watch. They would make it impossible for Lebron, Wade, and Carmelo to say no.

This year, I think I'd like to see Kevin Durant (although I think he just got hurt), Iguodala, and Josh Smith.

But to get real star power back to the dunk contest they need to have Lebron do it up.

david stern needs to demand that some team sign james white to 10 day just for this

He would not do too well in that, but if they had a 15 ft shoot out he would do well.

maybe not this year, imho, he have the shooting form and range, just need to develop it more, of course after he develop a reliable inside game first.
