But this year's contest seems fairly even in terms of league-wide popularity. No single participant is a house-hold name. I think Ross will have as good a chance as anyone.

I watched all the contestants' videos posted on NBA.com and Ross' dunks looked the most vicious,with the most hand speed at the release. I think this is his strength, although he does have that nice "flight" look similar to the great MJ. His other big advantage, I think, is his rookie teammate, Quincy Acy. Acy's highlight NCAA dunks were spectacular. Ross should use him as a sparring partner to warm up, and maybe just go freeform. Manimal seemed to be leaning toward winging it when the day comes. (That guy is so cool!)

Gerald Green wins , I'm usually good with gut feelings, Ross comes in third.

I like the idea that a poster/posters on here have expressed, with Ross recreating VC's dunks.
At this point there is nothing new that can be done, the prop fiasco has proved that. The dunks by Vince, would win any dunk contest ever held. So even repeating them, is a commendable feat.
Ross being a Raptor, plays into it even better, because it shows our respect for those that came before. I think a Carter recreation, no need to wear his jersey, would be awesome and everyone would understand and respect the motive for the display.Last edited by BasketballCrush; Tue Feb 12, 2013, 03:54 PM.

I'm going with Ross finishing third. (Shameless self promotion attached in link. Sorry.)_________________________
