    Sord of surprizing maybe he can be the 2nd shortest player to win it

    It doesn't mean he's going to particpate, it just means he's invited. like lebron was invited and chose not to. Its still up to him.

    I hope Robinson goes for it. The guy's a showman, and c'mon, who wouldn't want to see the second coming of Mugsy Bogues? [​IMG]

    LeBron I think knows he wouldnt win a dunk contest, no to bash him.. but he just dosent have many unique dunks he just throws em down hard.

    ^I`m with ya on that one clutch.

    But with Nate in the dunk contest that could even boost up hype for the contest, which would be good for AS weekend.

    1. Andre Igoudala
    2. Josh Smith
    3. Nate Robinson
    4. David Lee

    this would be a very good matchup and looks pretty realistic.

    Either have I....everyone seems to be in love with the kid since he had that good game in triple overtime a couple weeks back. I don't really like the idea of Iggy in the competition either. He's the same type of dunker that you guys say Lebron is, he throws it down hard but isn't all that unique imo.

    I hope that they'll keep big men out of the competition this year. It's never fun to see a pf in the dunk contest, unless that have Steve Nash assisting them [​IMG] .

    I have, he won the 2001 HS slam dunk. He pulled off a few between the legs, he also had a gimmick dunk where he bounced the ball off the floor took his jersey off then caught the ball and dunked it. He was alright but i think he won it because a the other guys dunks didnt go in.

    LeBron isn't a good dunker. I'm sorry, but his dunking is way overhyped and theres nothing special. Did you see his dunks in the McDonalds Dunk Contest? There is nothing original about his dunks.

    For the last time when people say lebrons not a good dunker its a dumb statement. You can say he's not a creative dunker, but a bad dunker? Larry bird was a bad dunker. Would you say amare stodemire is a bad dunker? Lebron gets high and slams hard, take it or leave it.

He obviously is not as creative as guys like Carter, Bryant, McGrady, J-Rich, Mason etc. but he's not a bad dunker.

    I never said he was bad, I just said he wasn't good. He's average to be fair. To win a dunk contest, you can't just slam it down hard. 30% of the players in the NBA can rise and slam it down hard.
