...this gunn be the worst contest ever... if the big stars dont want in, at least they could put some better dunkers there, Josh Smith is fine, then add the likes of J.R Smith, Von Wafer, Devin Harris, Trevor ariza... any of those would be better then those contestants.

I like Iggy here...Josh Smith will try to out due himself from last year, Warrick is too tall for one of these and Nate is too small.
The only tall person I think that has done well was Larry Nance and the only small person that has done well was Spud Webb. So Warrick and Nate are out and Smith will try to jump over a car to dunk or something crazy like that and Iggy will end up talking it.

Why only 4? I never watch the All-Star Weekend thingy (Except the All-Star game, but not since it moved to cable).

But how long does the Slam-Dunk Contest last with just 4 guys? There should be like 20 people there for nice entertainment.

Looks like LeBron wussed out of the dunk contest again. Only 4 people in the contest sucks. I think Bron, D. Miles, Arriza, and Von Wafer would have been exciting to add to the current participants in the dunk contest. In the old days players used to take PRIDE in being apart of thd dunk contest.

I do wanna see little nate robinson dunk though. It's fun watching someone who isn't even average nba height really get up there and throw it down.
