    Josh Smith would be cool to see in the dunk contest. However, I think J.R. Smith and his 40some inch vert could possibly be better.

    The Bradley center isn't one of my favs, even though I haven't been there. How 'bout the ACC? Bring the game up to Canada for once.

    MLSE has already put together a package... There were articles written about a month (or two) back... they were talking about how the Raps would lose money, but the city would make a killing. Mayor Miller gave his backing, as did most of the officials that needed to do so... so I believe just the formality of actually applying is left... and maybe that has even been done.

    That was pretty cheap though. I mean no offense to here or anything but I think they gave it to her just because she's a girl. She did nothing but a straight 1 handed dunk. Oh wait, and she did one where she covered up her eyes and then moved her arm away so she could see the basket completely. Everyone says, well she made her dunks and nobody else did. Well at least they tried throwing some style into it. She didn't do much.

    Sorry to freak out on you about it.

    But I'd like to see Josh Smith or J.R. Smith in it. Both are awsome dunkers. Can do some great stuff.

    And definitely Igoudala should be in the dunk contest next year. Did you guys see the stuff he was pulling in the NCAA with Arizona? I know Hassan Adams was throwing him some lobs for alley-oops most of the time(he had an amazing alley-opp at MSG) but he does some crazy dunks.

    Josh Smith would dominate the dunk contest that guy is more of an athletic freak than KG was coming out of high school maybe not more of a freak than KG is now but more of a freak than KG was coming out of highschool. This guy can jump no seriously he has like i think a 43" vertical and you dont see that too much from guys coming out of high school. JR Smith is a good dunker too but IMO Josh Smith would be better matched against those guys because of his body thats "NBA ready" not saying JR's isnt but most of the places I've read about Josh Smith they made him sound like a athletic freak.

    And about the Allstar Game, shouldnt there be one in Charlotte because theres a new team there and ya.

    Josh Smith IS an athletic freak, but I don't even think he made it to the finals in the All-American Dunk Contest? I think it was J.R., Darius, Crawford, and Parker. So that right there can probably tell you J.R. is a better dunker. I mean come on, they are saying J.R. will be the next VC and I see a bit of a comparison, J.R. just has a better shot it seems.

    It would be cool to have it in Hawaii. Or the Caribbeans.
