Is it just me or does this seem like kind of a weak field? Richardson is more about volume than accuracy and can't hit a shot this season. The other guys are good, but aren't what I'd call "pure" shooters. Raja Bell has been great this year, but what has happened to the guys like Peja, Allen, Korver, Lenard, Rice, Persons, etc., those guys that were known as specialists? |

I'd put my money on Allen, with Billups as the dark horse. |

At least they got some star players. The same thing with the skills competition. Why are all these big name players willing to participate in these other events, but not in the dunk contest? |

I think Allen has to be the odds on favorite, but I would like to see a Billups and Terry final. _________________ "Kobe Bryant is an absolute nightmare.
