http://www.nba.com/2010/news/01/12/allstar.dunkin/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt1 NEW YORK -- Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan and Clippers guard Eric Gordon will compete in the All-Star Slam Dunk-In competition at halftime of the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge on Friday, Feb. 12. The winner will advance to the All-Star Saturday Night Sprite Slam Dunk event. DeRozan and Gordon will each get two dunks in the one-round dunk-in, with the player receiving the highest percentage of fan votes via NBA.com and SMS text messaging advancing to the dunk contest on All-Star Saturday. Taking the fourth and final spot in the event, the dunk-in winner will then compete against three other dunk contestants for the 2010 Sprite Slam Dunk title. The NBA has yet to announce the other dunkers. The Knicks' Nate Robinson won the contest in 2009. DeRozan is a rookie forward from USC, averaging 7.8 ppg with Toronto. He was drafted ninth in the 2009 Draft. He created a Web site, LetDeMarDunk.com, to promote his candidacy. Gordon is in his second NBA season out of Indiana, averaging 17.1 ppg with the Clippers this season after being selected seventh overall in 2008. Demar Derozan's cool but wtf Gordon, i didn't know he was a good dunker, maybe I just don't follow clippers.. why isn't Westbrook in it, he shouldve been in there last year
I assume Nate Robinson will be one. Shannon Brown should get an invite as well. Will the third guy be LeBron James?

I hate Nate. I'd love to see Josh Smith, Monta Ellis, C-Bud, D.Summers, R. Brewer, and of course....Alex Scales.
Demar's gonna rip Gordon apart Eric is like a crappier version of Shannon brown with 10 inches less verticals.
Demar will own Gordon. Why is Eric Gordon even in the dunk contest? He's only 6'3 and I have yet to see him do a highlight dunk in a game.
I'm willing to bet you a donation to this site, that Eric Gordon kills it, and moves into the Sat contest.
Demar by a landslide, he's got mad hops. he's a better dunker than gordon, although gordon probably is a better overall player.
You got it. I think people know what Demar has. Gordon will suprise a lot of people. How much we talking?
That should be a cakewalk for DeRozan. I'd like to see DeRozan, LeBron, Westbrook, and Shannon Brown in the contest.
