    1) Andre Iguodala

    2) Gerald Wallace

    3) JR Smith/Josh Smith

    4) Fred Jones

    I think Iguodala and Wallace will be going at it in the final round, Wallace will come up with it though with something special...

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting jtam101:</div><div class="quote_post">stro puts up monster dunks, as does wilcox. but its power dunks they put up. everyone now is into the "thru the legs" and "off the backboard 360" stuff. no one appreciates power dunkers. just look at chris andersen last year. his dunks were sick! but because they werent thru the legs and all fancy, he was eliminated. I'd like to see Chris Andersen go back. hes sick</div>
    Stro can actually do some nice stuff, not just power, Vince even said he's one of the guys he thinks would give him the toughest competition in a dunk contest.

    Also I think Stevenson will be in, he said he wanted to do it again, so he should be, Wade won't do it, and Lebron might not, but also didn't Gerald Wallace say he wouldn't do a dunk contest again?

    Has Iguodala said he's interested, I don't know if he can do nice enough stuff, he can dunk, but I don't know if he has upper tier dunk contest dunks.

    ^ Gerald Wallace had two years to come up with something special so i highly doubt he'll win this competition, besides he didn't enter last year so i doubt it he will this season. I would really like to see Lebron dunk off, IMo people tend to overrate his dunking ability by saying he's just/ nearly as good as Jordan, Vince, Dominique etc. when really i haven't seen him do a simple 360. Hopefully he will enter and prove me wrong.

    stro can put up fancy dunks too. he can do through the legs...etc

    its really always been about the flash and not just power. you say "everyone now" as if, back in the day it was just about who could throw it down the hardest. look at back when harold minor won...or isaiah rider...through the legs...its no different now. a dunk contest isnt and shouldnt be just about power. it should be about creativity and doing something new

    if anderson won or even got into the finals with those dunks, it would have been a HUGE injustice. they were nice...just not "win worthy"

    Man Andre Emmett tore it up at the college dunk contest. Off the wall windmill. Over the six kids. Off of the shot clock. His stuff was amazing.

    My prediction:

    Fred Jones
    J.R. Smith
    Josh Smith
    Gerald Wallace

    I would like to see more then just 4 players. They would've let Lebron participate so then it would've been 5 last year. + there are only 4 dunks total. In 2000 there were 6 competitors and 3 dunks in the first and 2 in the last. I wish they could've at least kept it like that.

    If so then

    1) Lebron
    2) Fred Jones
    3) Josh Smith
    4) Andre Iguodala
    5) Gerald Wallace
    6) Ricky Davis once again

    I'd love to see mor ethan 4 contestants and more dunks, but I can understand why they ar doing it because alot of dunks are being repeated year after year.

    Well, Ricky Davis broke the 3 season rule last year, so no contestant hasthe excuse to say "the 3 year rule.:

    And IMO, it doesnt matter whos gonna go, the ratings are gonna be high because of LBJ and he's gonna take it.Although if Vince or J-Rich returns, that would certainly be a show to watch. Too bad its not Vince in 200 with the crazy hops:P

    ^Carmelo? He does pretty good dunks for someone who jumps way under 40 inches. If he was to be in it I really think he would've competed in last years. But his 33 inch leap kinda limits the things he would wanna do by alot.

    Oh yeah I forgot about Kedrick. You would think he would practice more on his dunking since he never plays much anyways. He should use that 46 1/2 inch leap for something. I figure he could do a full windmill and stick his elbow in the rim all in one motion.
