    Too bad that's pretty much all Alexander can do. Think the Bucks would take him again?

    I want Rudy to be either in the dunk contest or the 3 point shootout. He has a quick release, so that'll help him in the 3 point contest. Rudy is currently shooting the 3 at a 40% clip, so I think that's good enough to get some consideration. I wonder if Outlaw would be willing to do the 3 point contest since he's our top 3 point shooter right now.

    interesting.... We all know rudy can get up, but I do not see a dunk contest participant in him. I hope he proves me wrong.

    Re: Rudy, Alexander, and Westbrook to compete in online dunk contest tryouts

    If Rudy doesn't get into the 3PT Contest, something is seriously wrong. Last time I checked he was third or tied for second in 3 Pointers Made, and does it at a high clip. So yeah, he should be in that at the very least. He'll probably already be there for the Rookie/Sophomore game, so it makes sense to have him in the 3PT contest. I expect it to happen.

    Hey, if Rudy gets into the dunk contest, that means Sergio will most likely get a cameo in All-Star weekend. I bet they can create some nice dunks with each other.

    So you want to trade him to Boston? ;)

    Seriously though, the Blazers making the Finals would be 100x better than a Blazer making it to an All-Star event. But who says we can't do both?

    Rudy for 4th spot in dunk contest?

    Heck yeah!!! That would be rad!!!

    Nate Robinson
    Dwight Howard
    Rudy Gay

    Then they said either Rudy Fernandez, Russel Westbrook or Joe Alexander.

    Re: Rudy for 4th spot in dunk contest?

    Voted. Anybody checked to see if we can vote more than once per day? I noticed that the text you had to enter for the verification looked like it was not randomly generated, so we might be able to script voting. Maybe a couple of million votes for Rudy per day?

    Re: Rudy for 4th spot in dunk contest?

    The verification text appears to be randomly generated. I voted twice and the first time the text was "clutch" and "quarter" was the 2nd one.

    Re: Rudy for 4th spot in dunk contest?

    I don't think so. All 3 of them got major dunks and the NBA likes to showcase rookies and younger players in the dunk contest.

    Re: Rudy for 4th spot in dunk contest?


    Which, in my opinion, is retarded. The slam dunk contest is garbage compared to what it was like when they got actual stars to do it. I wanna see Jordan vs Wilkins again, not Nate Robinson taking 14 tries on an impossible dunk.

    True though. I am really, REALLY sick of seeing Nate Robinson. That was pretty lame of them to pick him again.
