Slam Dunk Comp Participants = pathetic!

[lilreddevil]

I just reAd that Jeremy Lin is going to be doing something in the dunk comp, wether his a late entrant or his throwing lobs to shump or something I don't know, but there's the star power you have been asking for.

IMO that's rubbish. You're watching the dunk contest for the dunks not the passes. Put him in the Skills comp if you really want.

I dont know, I think the idea has merit, but go beyond flavor of the month Jeremy Lin. Imagine barrack Obama coming out and throwing a lob then waving to the crowd. Or I don't know much about nfl, but say you get Tim tebow or one of the great Qbs throwing a football style lob from halfcourt. The fans would eat it up.

I'm surprised they haven't got Steve Novak in the three point competition - he's definitely a dead-eye shot from range.

I would love to see Aminu in the contest as he's had a couple of highlight reel slams this year, but that obviously me being greedy, lol.

 

[Ersk]

I think they should pull Shaq out of retirement to get him to do a few dunks!

 

[exzibit3]

The dunk contest has been crap since they started allowing props in. It's become so gimmicky and stale..

 

[Matty4292]

Isn't the dunk contest more for younger players now? Didn't they say something like that last year?

Either way, the dunk contest isn't about star power it's about entertainment and if these guys can dunk then I'm happy.

Tell me why this fella can't even get a look in for his dunks????

BTW.... take that Scola!!!!

He's been in a dunk comp hasn't he!?

 

[ozballer23]

Would love the comp to be open to all ages, not just the young fellas..

Read this:

6: Houston's Chase Budinger only has six dunks this season, as tallied by my man Michael Lee from The Washington Post, but there he is in next week's dunk contest at All-Star Weekend alongside Indiana's Paul George (20), Minnesota's Derrick Williams (19) and New York's Iman Shumpert (10).

Absolute joke I say. The dunks better prove me wrong.

He's injured as far as I know.

and the 2 finalists for the 3 point contest no doubts will be Chalmers & James Jones...
But Ray allen or paul Peirce would slaughter them both :-P
