    T-Mac will make his comeback, and show he's still got "It" by entering and winning the dunk contest.

    To be a creative dunker you have to jump high of 2 feet. Lebron jumps very high of 1 leg but just jumps off like any other player off 2 feet.

    Lebron's response to all of this:

    "Who the hell is Nate Robinson? Does he play in the NBA?"

    jk but it is kinda funny to hear a scrub talking about the MVP like they are buds or equals on the court.

    I also don't know why people assume LBJ won't be creative. It's not like he's had a chance to show his creativity as he's never done the dunk contest before. Saying he isn't flashy in-game as evidence is dumb.

    Agreed. I think he can come up with some fantastic stuff.

    Even if he isn't super-creative who the hell else has the lift and power he has? Him taking off from behind the free throw line and throwing down a power dunk is better than any "creative" dunk I can think of and good for a 50.

    lbj isn't anything but a game dunker

    its gonna be stupid with the judges and the bias crap (whoever said he'll layup and get a 50, u win.)

    if u are defending lebron (for a dunk contest), go hit cavsgayfans.com
    can't stand lebrons ego crap its like KG but in a different way

    i do agree they need to stop scrub dunkers like GG from entering and just let it be between big time all stars even if the dunks aren't as flashy

    my fav dunk contest contestants were
    1. dwight h
    2. VC & Stevie were tied, steve was crazy (he got gipped)
    3. old school jordan
    4. BRENT BARRY THE FLYING GHOST.

    You complain that LBJ is just an in game dunker and then you proceed to say Dwight H is your favorite all time dunk contestant.

    Okay.

    He may want to see LeBron in the Dunk Contest, but I don't want to see him. His score just gets points added to it because of his size, it's annoying.

    On second thought: LeBron '50-50' on dunk contest

    LeBron James flying high during All-Star weekend is no longer a slam dunk.

    After saying at last year's event in Phoenix that he planned to dunk in the 2010 festivities in Dallas, James now says he's "50-50" about taking part.

    James felt last year's contest was too "watered down" and his participation might revive the weekend's signature event.

    "I'm like 50-50 right now," he said Wednesday night before a game against Phoenix. "I don't know if you can get it back to the 80s and like in '98 when Vince (Carter) was in it. It was more about the dunks and less about what was going on around the dunks. We'll see what happens."

    So why has he changed his mind?

    "I was excited," he said. "When I said it I was very excited about doing it. I was there at the event and you get caught up in it a little bit."


    Hmmmmmm..
