No dunk contest for LeBron, again?

Raptor2k

What's the deal with this guy? I enjoy LeBron's game, but come on, show off your dunking ability for once.

lebron isnt a very creative dunker.... anyone watch him in the high school dunk contest? he probably should have lost. he has no grace... hes just a good leaper and i think he thinks he would lose.

It would be nice to see him do it once, even Kobe did it once

Yep, you're all right.

Lebron entering it and not winning = bad image. So he's probably not joining it for self-image. The fans don't matter here.. haha.

The more times he does things like this, such as not participating out of fear of failure, the more I see him as lacking "it" to be an all-time great. Magic, Bird, MJ, Kobe...they all had NO fear of failure from Day 1. They had the quiet confidence that they would and could NOT lose...at anything.

-Declines invitation to dunk contest previous 2 years, when the competition was significant (Jason Richardson and D-Mase, Josh Smith and JR Smith)

-Misses game-tying FT versus Lakers

-LeBron passes off the OPEN, potential game-winning 3 against Den

-Nearly AIRBALLS a FT against Indy in the waning moments with his team up 2-3 points

Dude just don't have "it". A great player, but not on the level that people CLAIM him to be. And the media is beginning to un with his lack of ability to "close". Even SAS was on his case Monday on Quite Frankly.

LeBron is probably the leagues best LIVE game dunker, ok maybe tied with VC, but like bambam said, this dude has no creativity, and this dude would lose.

LeBron has only 2 dunks in his arsenal.

Man they should just settle who the best dunker is. Put Kobe, VC, T-Mac, LBJ, and Jason Richardson in it. I'm tired of watching these nobodys in the dunk contest.
