    I dunno. The dunk contest is overrated and boring. I don’t blame him for not participating, especially since he’s not in the futures game. I’d rather he rest.

    Maybe he's got wind that he's getting traded and doesn't want the extra attention?

    Had the same thought but didn’t want to think about that possibility.

    I don’t mind it. If Shae thought he was going there to show his full game and then was told it was just the dunking and he wants to be known as an all around player not just a dunker, then it makes sense.

    When he didn't make rising stars I figured he wouldn't participate. Basically telling them to fuck off.

    That's a sound decision. Good for him.

    That's actually a very difficult and mature decision for a rookie.

    Props!

    Disappointing, but I'm not mad. I'd love to see him compete in the dunk contest, but I know what kind of hops he has so it doesn't really matter.

    Maybe it’s just me. But I don’t give two shits about anything All Star related in any sport. Haven’t made it a point to watch one in probably 20 years.

    I prefer games that matter.

    Maybe Simons told him it’s fun and all but right now you need to sharpen your game. There is always next year. Plenty of time to do the dunk contest. Simons didn’t do it his first year.
