    They should just bring in the giAnt shoe they have in front of their adidas building on Greeley.

    It's the Sprite dunk contest, so he will put on a giant Sprite bottle costume and dunk it.

    He could dunk with 2 pairs of shoes on his feet and a pair of shoes on his hands.

    Going up against Curry. That's going to be stiff competition. Love is a fucking joke.

    I heard that there will be a new wrinkle in the dunk contest: Roy Hibbert will defend the key, and a ref will stand there not calling fouls. No wonder Lillard got picked! :lol:

    Lillard should down a Sprite, then dunk over Grant Hill.

    There's lots of material to come up with something.

    Good, because he'll need them. I'm actually excited for All-Star weekend, though. Maybe LMA can sub a few minutes for Lillard in the Rook/Soph game?

    Yeah, you know I kind of getting the feeling that they put Dame in because they like to have a smaller guy in the competition. The Spud Webb of the contest.

    As good as he is for a smaller guy, he doesn't have the hops of a George or a Ross. Either way, it will be interesting. Rudy was pretty damn good but he didn't get any love.

    5 events is amazing. Because no one does it. Because it's stupid. Because not concentrating on one or two events, distracts and diffuses energy and makes a player do worse.

    But it's the first and last time, so I'll watch and enjoy this odd monstrosity.

    It'd be a rare player to do all five events, because you have to be a rook or soph and an all star. That narrows it down. Then you have to hit threes and be a point guard that can dunk. Despite his snark, jlprk is right; this probably won't happen again.

    This will be fun. Dumb, but fun. Most things fun are dumb. So this is ordinary fun.

    I give myself permission to have fun. Alright! Rrrrrrrrip City!
