    I wonder if his vertical has declined any. He'll be 30 soon.

    No one cares about his fundamentals.

    Yeah they do. If he had any, he'd be on a team long enough to participate in a damn NBA dunk contest. Pissed me off when he couldn't hang on with the Rockets. I was thinking "come on Les, just keep this fool on long enough for him to get the Rockets some attention".

    For people that haven't seen him dunk, go look up his between the legs dunk from the free throw line. NBA dunks are little league compared to that dunk. Most people have a hard enough time coming close to a free throw line dunk - he takes off from the free throw line and goes between his legs on the dunk with distance to spare. I wonder if he still has the hops he used to - he's gotta be pushing 30. I think the Knicks are looking for some publicity. lol.

    Amazingly the last dunk contest I saw White in last year he seemed to be even more polished with his dunks -- he nailed the free throw line between the legs like it was nothing. He isn't as explosive as he used to be though, but his jumps are so effortless like VC he still has crazy hops at 30.

    As far as him contributing in the NBA maybe it will happen, but strictly from a business standpoint - think how many 'White' Knicks jerseys they will sell if he wins the dunk contest. And honestly when he is the focus and given the ball he puts up a lot of points -- he may work as a spark off the bench.

    I don't think Blake will be in the dunk contest next year.

    I've posted this so many times... but it is the best dunk contest ever. Whoever made it did a great job with the music and editing.
