    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Accord:</div><div class="quote_post">What current players in the league are capable of, and have already dunked from the free throw line? Has Vince done it?</div>

    Im pretty much sure he can if he's in shape. I saw him dunk with two hands a little past the FT line so maybe he can do it with one hand.

    Basically what I said a while ago.

    I would like to see:
    Mason
    Richardson
    LeBron
    TMac
    and some others

    But I think J Rich will win it anyways, he already said he was going to do it, because he wants to be the first to win it three times.

    Chris "Birdman" Anderson will be there. Trust me!
    I read somewhere that Travis Outlaw can touch the top of the backboard.

    What about Kedrick Brown. Some people say he got a 45 inch vertical. He's
    listed at 6'7. So he should be able to get eyebrow leveled with the rim, depending on how long his head is. But anyways, I just wanna see what he has.
    If he can get up like that, he could win. Unless he doesn't practice any flashy dunks at all.

    ^^ he can dunk like a motha, i would like to see

    chris anderson (- yes this white man can jump)
    kedrick brown
    gerald wallace
    lebron james

    most likley there will only be 4 or so younger guys there so this is a more realistic list, might end up seeing mason and richardson back though.

    The rumors are right, the NBA has asked Chris Anderson to participate and he accepted. Jason Richardson will return as well.

    There are only 2 more spots to be filled people, so slim pickens (3 year rule too)

    Swift can't, he has been in the league for too long. I have no idea who else will be in it. Sprite does sponsor the event, so maybe James does have an open door if he accepts, but that would leave only one other spot. This is Mason's 4 year I believe, so he is out of the picture.

    Come on people lets hear it.

    Melo seems like a better game dunker, I love those oops that Miller throws to him. You used to be allowed to have a partner in this contest, why did they take that out?

    So many restrictions, makes this contest gay.

    Back to Melo, he is a wild card, I don't believe many would pick him to do well, but he could surprise us.

    Amare seems to be dunking better this year with more explosion, I believe he should get another chance.

    4 people sucks!

    I know he isn't a big name, and he won't be in the contest for that very reason, but I would love to see Jeff Trapagnier. He has some of the craziest hops I've seen. I think he would be able to give J-Rich a run for his money...

    btw, how much does it cost to go to one of these events?

    Which is exactly why the dunk contest is becoming a joke.Jason Richardson will have no real Competition without Desmond (Who should of won it last year BTW) that last dunk of his was sick

    I would love to see Kedrick Brown and Deshawn Stevenson in that.

    BTW KJ are you sure about the 3 year rule, because there has been a lot of investigating and question periods with Vince Carter If he'd like to join, and hes been in the league longer than three years...

    Chris Anderson is 6'10", I really don't think he will do much in this one. Guys over 6'7" never win dunk competions, it just doesnt look as flashy. Besides, I bet they just want to have a white guy in the contest.

    I would put Melo in it, we all know he's got the hops.. I bet he could show us somethin.
