    I'd like to see David Noel or James White in it but neither is likely to be considered.

    If James White and Gerald Green were to be in it, it wouldn't matter who else was participating, it would be one of the best of all time. Since White isn't even playing I doubt he'll be invited.

I doubt they would even top Richardson and Desmond Mason's battle from a couple years ago.

White's gone thru the legs from the free throw line as well. If that's not amazing I don't know what is. And I'm extremely excited to see what Green will bring to the table. He can get his head at rim level with ease.

    I'll give Dwight Howard a chance. Since its been so much publicized that hes wanted to be in, maybe he's been planning this out. You don't have to be the best dunker in the contest to win, if you have a good gimmick/fancy looking dunk, you can win.

    The NBA lost by putting Howard in the dunk contest.

    Is this confirmed?I hate how Robinson has been allowed back into the dunk contest. I hate it with a passion. I can tolerate Howard being in the contest though, he's really athletic. I wish Iggy would be in the dunk contest again. I hope he changes his mind.

Then again he should of never won it last year Iggy should of.

I hope Rodney Carney gets invited, I doubt it though.

    It would be nice seeing carney in the dunk contest but I think the final spot will go to Rudy Gay.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Michael Bryant @ Feb 2 2007, 08:35 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Who cares if Dwight Howard could ALMOST kiss the rim, what is he? 6'11" OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!Anyway, bigs always suck in the dunk contest recent examples include, Johnathan Bender and that Chris Anderson dude. However, Amare was pretty cool and Wilkens in the 80's was cool to. But on the average, bigs suck balls in the dunk contest.The dunk contest blows now anyway.</div>Even if you are 6 11, being able to kiss the rim for his height is great as well. The guy is crazy athletic, and I think he will be able to pull off some great dunks, but I think he will be pentailized because of his height. The crowd and the voters will give him less scores because Dwight will make a good dunk look easier because of his height. He is going to have to be really creative...

    <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">I find Dwight Howard to be an impressive dunker, but not a "Dunk Contest"-type of impressive dunker. He can pull off great power dunks, but I don't think dunkers can win the Dunk Contest by running and doing a one-handed slam... Maybe Dwight should dunk on one of his teammates. I'd give him a 50 if he did that.</span>

    I would like to see Josh Smith again and Gerald Green. Not so much Dwight, since he's mainly just a power dunker who tries to take down the net. I don't expect him to have a crazy dunk that will wow the crowd though.
