<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Umair15:</div><div class="quote_post">^^ i think you're correct. Because Jason Richardson was in the dunk contest for 3 years since he won twice and was in 3rd time.</div> Yeah, also I don't think I've seen a fourth or fifth year player in the competition. Also if that's true Lebron or Wade won't be able to join unless they do it by age. I'm kind of against Lebron in the competition because his dunks aren't that graceful and are all like power dunks. Wade however I wouldn't mind seeing in the competition.
What are you guys talking about? The perfect dunk contest would include.... 1. JJ Redick 2. Pat Garrity 3. Fran Vazquez 4. Travis Diener Milt Palacio is the honorable mention. The competition would be extremely close.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting AznxBaller:</div><div class="quote_post">Plus, guys like Kobe and Carter made their names off of the dunk contests (not sure about Kobe, but I'm almost certain with Carter). So not allowing younger players to go into the dunk contest while making the stars players do it would be depriving the younger players of that opportunity the older players had to make their name.</div> If that the case, then have both star players and young players competiting all together. Let's have a dunk contest where the pressure is on. I'm sure Kobe and VC won't participate due to their age and they must sustain the energy to finish in the 2nd half of the season. Lebron probably won't join because 1) he's scare or 2) doesn't want to risk injury. D-Wade is a good choice this year. C'com Mr. Stein, please invite D-Wade for this year dunk's competition and let's see what he can do!
I think a lot of the established players avoid going into the dunk contest, for fear of being typecast as just a "dunker." That would apply to Lebron and D-Wade, as they've already shown the League that they're among the most talented in the league. I remember VC used to complain about it regularily, at one point even proclaiming that he wouldn't dunk again (something like that). That's probably why the NBA looks to get contestants that can dunk, before they become really big.
