    Kenny says Griffin doesnt know anything about it but it looks staged to me. He's not even surprised or he's just not very excited.

    Thank God his mentor/coach isn't Wilkins or else he'd be doing the same windmill dunks 5-6 times.

    He looks suprised to me when Smith stops the interview...i would say he expected to be invited since he actually wanted to enter it, so he's not going to be excited to get the invite.

    Y'all remember Carter's first dunk in the contest? The reverse windmill? Im trying to picture if it makes sense to do it as a reverse under the legs dunk? Requires some good hangtime and power to do, perhaps Griffin can pull it off..

    my god Blake is gigantic. i'm not talking about his height, I mean his frame. standing next to kenny really makes you realize how freakin huge Blake's muscles are. he's not even flexing and his biceps are about the size of Kenny's head

    blake seems like more of an in game dunker, so we'll see if he'll be good and unexpected like dwight

    Blake's dunks from the McDonalds contest were kind of weak, certainly nothing that could win an NBA dunk contest. He's had a few years though, so we'll see if he has any tricks up his sleeve. I agree with most that he's more of a game dunker than contest dunker.
