    Smart. Great decision by Cam. He has bigger and more important things to accomplish on the rockets

    Damn, that’s confidence. Most rookies would take this opportunity to promote their brand. Cam knows he will be someone and that he will be able to go anytime he wants, bigger fish to fry his rookie year.

    he doesn't want to upstage Sengun's first all-star appearance . . . he is the consummate professional, night in and night out

    Just invite him to the Skills competition and he'll end up dunking the ball instead.

    I like the response by Cam. Seems humble and knows he has work to do to establish himself in the league.

    Wouldn’t want him to embarrass like Jalen. ;)

    “I don’t, I really don’t, nothing that takes technique and plus, with the flashiness added into that,” Whitmore said. “It’s hard.

    “I got asked twice for the dunk contest and I said ‘no.’ I’m waiting until the time comes. I don’t see myself as a dunker. I don’t have anything up my sleeve right now. But in year two, year three, when I establish myself as somebody in this league, yeah I’ll do it.”

    After witnessing Jalen's NFT horror show last year, I don't blame him.

    He definitely would have accepted an invitation to the three point competition.

    Jalen may have told him about being locked up in room for a long time 'til it's your turn to 'dunk' ;)

    but seriously, better spend the time on team practice, especially now that he's getting 'significant minutes'

    and his dunks are BRUTAL----not the fancy kinds :D:D:D
