    Terrence Ross should be in the dunk contest. Another person I'd like to see would be Gerald Green, I think it would be awesome for him since he's from Houston.

    Dominique won it at age 30. White if he competed would be older than 'Nique by 3 months. Though White has FAR LESS mileage on his body than Nique did the same age. But yeah its pretty much do or die time for White this event.

    I was high on Ross in the draft. Was hoping the rockets would snag him.

    Also, I thought I read somewhere that they were doing the weekend NHL all star style.

    There's a lot of great young rookies and sophomores who could make it interesting like the 2000s with young Carter, Francis & T-mac. Ross & Barnes, should be locks, the rest is up for grabs.

    Is Olajuwon confirmed? Yao should also be involved some way.

    Wish elite players would be involved. James Durant Westbrook would be a good start. We need star power and some team rivalry like Vince and tmac. Hasn't been good in years but at least James white is in it this year. Derozan, gay, George would be good as well.
