Who do you, realistically, want to see in it? Dwight said he's "retired for life" from the Dunk Contest. Clearly we won't get Kobe. Who would you like to see do it?

Blake Griffen for sure tops my list. Enough said.

LeBron James? Certainly a way to get some fans back on his side. FINALLY he can give them what THEY want.

Amir Johnson could be fun.

Sonny Weems has had his share of impressive dunks this season.

I'd like to see Shannon Brown redeem himself.

 

Thoughts?

I think that the fans should be able to vote and those co%k suckers should have to compete.  I hate the fact that the best in the world decide they are going to "retire."  WTF!  It isn't like there is a real degree of risk that you are going to hurt yourself at a slam dunk contest.  Sorry I will get off my soapbox now. BOL!

I agree...Shannon Brown would be a great choice

Sparky you have to try really hard to get hurt at a slam dunk or three point contest.  Just my two cents.  BOL!

Don't forget how Griffen busted his knee. Wasn't even touched and wasn't on the landing either.

They should bring the old guys back. Jordan, Dr.J, Spud Webb,etc. It would be more entertaining this these guys today and people would actually tune in to watch.
