    I dont know, I was hoping Donnel Harvey would be in it. He said he was going to do a Double Windmill dunk. I hope Steve wins ,Winning The Dunk Contest Immortalizies you and plus then he would never enter it again.

    Kind of a lame group this year. If Francis doesn't run away with the title, I'll be stunned.

    I don't know I think has that old school competitive mind set. I think he'll enter it a few more times to prove he's got it.

    BTW Last year at the all-star game kobe and vince both said they would enter it this year, but I guess that was just talk. I wouldn't want to go against Steve either. ;)

    yeah, Mason beat out a bunch of other rookies last year. J-Rich and Gerald Wallace have some pretty mad hops though.

    Not so sure, Richardson and Wallace are legit.

    Now, I'd love to see him try a double windmill. Sounds like the claim Tony Dumas made several years ago with the Mavs. Didn't he say he'd do this "Texas Twister" dunk, which was supposed to be a 540 or something. :rolleyes:

    He said He does one windmill and then switches to the other hand and windmills it home. That would be awesome if someone did that.

    We don't need another Larry Hughes situation. A final four is good enough for me.

    Missed dunks suck.

    No Carter, No Kobe? Did they not want to participate again or what? The people that are participating are very good dunkers, but ithey should have included a few more people
