Not sure he can spell "H", but I'm pulling for him to do well.

 

James White on Dunk Contest: ‘I have about 5 dunks where I’m absolutely certain that I will get a 50′

Excerpt :

------------------------------------------

"Whatever I do is going to be new. It's not going to be seen in the NBA dunk contest," he said. "You've seen it maybe on YouTube, but you haven't seen it on the NBA stage. You've seen windmills. Everything they do has to be with gimmicks, which is what's making it corny."

White said he doesn't practice any of his dunks for two main reasons: He's getting older and he likes to feel out each contest first to decide what he's going to do. But he always saves one "last dunk just in case." In the case of this year's All-Star Weekend, he already has that special one in his back pocket, but he's keeping it a secret. [...]

"I have a dream of doing something, but I can't tell you what it is," he said. "I told some guys and they were like, 'Nah, you can't do that.' Then somebody else brought up another one, and that's a good idea. The dunk I'm talking about is crazy. I don't think nobody thought of that. If they did, they wouldn't think they can do it. It's not too difficult, but it's crazy. Somebody actually has to help on that one."

 

Would be nice seein LeBron in there. Dunk from FT Line of the dribble...

 

Well it can't be that bad because they don't have to spin a wheel and recreate a dunk. Only difference from before is that instead of individuals, they dunk as teams, and the best Dunker from each conference goes head to head.

Sure, it kills any chance of a White vs Green dunk off, (although they will have a one dunk off if they both have same scores before the final dunk off), but it's not that bad as people are making to be. We still get to see 6 guys do their best dunks.

 

Imo the worst is fan voting.. Cause that works so well in All Star selections..

Hell if they had Jeremy Lin competing, fan voting would ensure he won in a landslide

I'm rolling with GREEN. Houston made, Houston raised.

 

Are you serious?!?! green with the bounce pass from the rafters and white with a free throw line between the legs! My god these dunk attempts were better than 95% of the dunks post Vince Carter contest

 

White IS about this life

Great!!!! No random judges, but real Houston Rockets legends Question is: will their judgment be final or fan votes again?

 

Ugh... they ran out of original ideas for legal dunks... they can't come up with anything new... it sucks.

Because Mutombo knows all about finesse, agility, and spectacular... dunks...?!?!?
