Should Derozan do the Dunk Contest this year?

[wallz]

Shumpert has Lin on his side=extra publicity=automatic win

[Nilanka]

I hope someone jumps over the short end of a car again [sarcasm]...

Retrieving teddy bears before dunking is pretty cool too [more sarcasm]...

[NoPropsneeded]

Ya blake may be explosive but his dunks are not creative. Same crap every time

[wallz]

Yeah I'd say Budinger is just as good as Blake when it comes to dunk competitions

[mcHAPPY]

This is going to be the worst dunk contest in a long long time...

i do not think we are gonna hear kenny say "IM LEAVING DA BUILDING" because of Chase Budinger...eek.

Probably not. But he was runner up in McD's Dunk Contest in 2006:

this years dunk contest is shit. Derrick williams, Iman Shumpert(yes the kid who missed the wide open dunk against us), Paul George, and chase Budinger(Seriously?)

They probably got rejected by DeMar, blake and all the other good dunkers in the league so they went after average dunkers.

Thanks! Where abouts did you stay last year? Varadero?

The best part about Cuba (if you can get past the bland food), is no obnoxious Americans

Bah ha ha I just seen my typo in my post. Yeah, I went to Varadero, Hotel Iberostar Laguna Azul to be precise.

The food wasn't that great, no doubt but you could grab a burger a 3AM in the morning if you wanted one. When I went to the main dinning hall I typically headed directly to the omelet stand for breakfast and the pasta stand for dinner. At least there I could tell them exactly what I wanted and so it was impossible to get something bland.

So yeah, long story short, I'd rather be doing that than watching the dunk comp.

Fan fun man. I had an absolute blast there last year.

I'm glad I'll be in Cuba during this circus sideshow.

Na, he already proved he can win it last year until Blake hype won him the contest. I think it'd be better if he didn't and rested/focused on getting better as a player.

it may have come via his hype. but, blake won because it was rigged.

btw, if someone does one more "superman" dunk, I may shoot my tv.

No Demar this year.
No Blake either.

No Judges either.

NEW YORK (AP)—The NBA is leaving it up to the fans to determine the winner of the All-Star slam dunk contest.

Defending champion Blake Griffin passed on returning, leaving a lackluster field of New York’s Iman Shumpert, Paul George of Indiana, rookie Derrick Williams of Minnesota and Houston’s Chase Budinger.

The league announced Thursday that there no longer will be judges in the event, which also will be reduced to one round. Each contestant will execute three dunks. Fans will determine the champion by voting on NBA.com, Twitter or through text messaging.

The format in recent years was two rounds, with a panel of judges voting on the first round before fan voting in the second.

his skills arent the problem.... many lesser skilled players have been much better than he has of late

dude needs a shrink... get his head in order

or he needs an ogre sized big man to put him on his ass and piss him off to the point that he develops a chip on his shoulder

we need to bring back shaq to push "kobe's buttons".
