    Sounds like it's strictly for the public.

    I never knew about this before, but it's tempting. As a short (5'9") white guy, I wonder how far I could get with a 2-handed cockback dunk, a 360, and possibly a windmill...hmm.

    Then there's the 3-point championship, which I think I could actually contend for. Hmm indeed....

    Maaan they even got a Skills competition for us non-high flyers and sharp shooters. And if you can't dribble or pass well, we do need support.

    This does make me wonder:

    If you had a slam dunk competion consisting of all former Rockets players at their athletic prime (while with the Rockets!), who would win?

    It's far from a no-brainer. I wouldn't even put him as a favorite over Steve or T-mac.

    I beg to differ. I think Brent Price would show everyone up...

    lol...

    For those who don't know me on the basketball court, yes I can dunk...but I've never posterized anybody or anything. Well, not unless we're talking about our games at macalu's old place. Lots of people got doodoo'd on there :eek:
