slamdunk participants

[hos]

where is Kobe in the slamdunk contest? Just saw the players competing for the slamdunk contest at the all-star game, but the defending champion is not one of them. Anyone knows why? Is he bothered by a hand-injury? And how come Kevin Garnett wasn´t invited? I´d take him over Jamison any day.

Kobe's not participating?

Heh, well disregard my post in the Francis-related topic in the Rockets section- it looks like the NBA is planning to give it to Vince.

They're missing out on a HUGE marketing opportunity if KG and Kobe don't go at it...

<U>OLD SCHOOL</U>
Erving, Jordan, Drexler, Wilkins
<U>NEW SCHOOL</U>
Carter, Garnett, Francis, Bryant

Imagine the hype a contest with the latter four guys could build up...

antisonic, my thoughts exactly. And besides the marketing-possibilities...it would be pretty fun to watch those four go at each other!

antawn jamison?

If they're going to let Vince win that easily, they might as well replace Francis with Air Bullard.
