Actually I'm very dissapointed at this, only four people in the Dunk contest is like having only one round.

Jason vs Ricky finals, not too shabby.

Jason will probably pull of one of his "Richardson" Dunks...Ricky will steal the show with some creative shit.

Dreaming is fuuuuun.

I think Chris Anderson could be a sleeper for this contest. I remember a couple of years ago he had an incredible dunk against Utah and he's taller than the other guys so that might be an advantage.

yeah! Ricky D!

anyway, im sicking of those 'Richardson' dunks... those low pump moves are just old for J-Rich... i hope Ricky pulls this one...

I want more contestant!! 8 would be cool

despite removing that stupid rule, ricky davis was the best they can come up with????? well, at least they got rid of the rule, for starters. now they need to expand the pool to 6-8.

i guess ricky ricky aint that bad.

Does Vince still want in?

Yea they should have 8 or even 12 if that many people wanna be in it, 4 is just garbage.

Yay, a white guy made it , if i'm not mistakten Bob Sura was the last white guy who was in the Slam dunk comp. he sucked anyway.

Yeah, but before that Brent Barry did quite well

Yeap, that freethrow dunk was quite neet, but didn't also Jonathan Bender did that in the 2001 or was it 2002`?

I wouldnt be suprised if he did, but bender is 6-11, so its like the "shawn kemp" rule. Its easier for him than brent barry.
I think Ricky Davis can make some noise in this dunk comp

Will it be the same judges as last year with Jordan, Spudd, Nique ect.
I would do a better job than those guys, or anyone who has judge the last couple of years.

They're always giving way to high grades. An average/solid dunk gets like 8points when it should get like 5 or 6

I dont think it will be the same.. Probably people like elgin baylor, james worthy will be judging being from LA... but thats just a guess

LeBron James WILL be there...He said he may pull something off...and LeBron is sponsored by Sprite...and LeBron practiced a TWO HANDED TWISTING DUNK in Practice...and YAHOO SPORTS said this...

Everybody is Pissing on Chris Andersen...On these Forums and on Niketalk....Why can't someone realize this guy OWNS?! DID YOU MORONS SEE THAT SICK OFF THE LOB JAM AGAINST MILWAUKEE THIS YEAR?!

LeBron James plans to watch the NBA's dunk contest -- for now.

James was not among the four players the league announced Tuesday will take part in the event during All-Star weekend in Los Angeles. But the Cleveland Cavaliers' star rookie has been hinting at a possible surprise appearance.

Citing a sprained right ankle that sidelined him for three games, James recently turned down the NBA's invitation to be in the dunk contest. James could reconsider, however.

"I don't know," he said. "I'll think about it. There are a lot of people who want me to do it."

If James does decide to participate, the league would probably welcome him.

go ricky! the exception to the rule!

Finally, the NBA throws out the 3 year rule

Now we want more than just 4 dunkers!

Being the slam dunk contest champ.. not all what it's cracked up to be.

Yes Ricky Davis is in!!!
I was going for J-Rich again but now ricky is there, come on ricky!!!
do a off the backboard thru the legs alley-opp

Lebron has said that he might reconsider and enter, making it five. I don't know if he can do that, but it said that in the newspaper today.

I heard Jason Richardson was working on a 360 between the legs

I heard Jason Richardson was working on a 360 between the legs

Wouldn't be suprised since he said in the last Dunk contest that he was suppose to have it to the final dunk but he couldn't do the steps right so Gilbert Arenas told him to do the behind between the legs dunk instead.
