Too scared of getting injured.

Too scared of getting injured.

And probably too scared of losing.

Well I think Lebron may be able to do an exciting dunk or two but I doubt Wade has anything worth shown in a dunk contest.

Well there are three routes you can go:

1 - Bring out an oversized ruler that inaccurately states you height at under 6'0. By that point everyone will be amazed that you can dunk and even when you miss, people will applaud and cheer like you have some form of disability and its just super that you tried your best.

2 - Just copy someone elses dunk, but jump a little earlier

3 - Steal dunks from the street ball touring leagues. There are plenty of dunks that "haven't been seen before", but in reality they just haven't been attempted by players in the NBA.

i wish the nba would invite more players to the dunk contest
i'm sure there are more players who would be interested in participating they may not be stars but they can help put on a show.

i remember carter's year was insane.
they had carter, tmac, francis, hughes, stackhouse, and ricky davis.

I can't wait to see Moon show us what he's got. Seems like everytime this season when he has a chance to do a spectacular dunk in a game something stops him from doing it.

The third one, well, Carter's already done a between the legs overhead dunk with a running start. It's less impressive standing still IMO.

Really? I think it's more impressive with a standing jump. Not aesthetically, but in terms of difficulty.

Lebron was in the high school dunk contest and had no nice dunks.

I just want Jamario to do nice dunks. They don't have to be super complex, but they should be nice, pretty if you will. Jordan never had to do overly complex dunks to impress the crowd.

not to take anything away from his amazing dunks. mj didn't really need too since he always had the crowd and judges on his side

That was just embarrassing.
