Well, it looks like we'll have a new Slam Dunk champ this year, if anyone even cares anymore. Lil' Nate won't be going for the three-peat so it will be between the Los Angeles Clippers' Blake Griffin, the Milwaukee Bucks' Brandon Jennings, the Oklahoma City Thunder's Serge Ibaka and the Washington Wizards' JaVale McGee. I'm betting Blake will win on reputation alone though I'm not sure how creative he can be. I'm also curious to see what Jennings can do since he's only had like 3 or 4 dunks in games this season. Personally, I still think this thing needs more big names to compete like the good old days, but somehow they manage to keep it going. Probably, because I'm not the only one who somehow gets suckered into watching this thing year after year. What about you guys, any interest? Later.

Yes, if Robinson or Dwight Howard were playing. But with the list that you named? Nope.
ReplyDeleteI will probably watch for Blake - he makes even ordinary dunks look plain ridiculous. I do wish Nate was in it though. I took in a Celts-76ers game while visiting my parents over Christmas and Nate is so fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteRemember Spud Webb?
ReplyDeleteI'm still amazed by Robinson's ridiculous hops. I wanna see McGee. Long lanky guys like him can usually throw down exceptionally well.
ReplyDeleteI like that Nate isn't participating this year. He doesn't have anything more to prove and is now focusing on becoming an actual basketball player instead of a showman. I don't think he'll ever be a good fit at the point, but he's a great spark off of the bench. He plays some great defense and when the three is falling he can turn a game around.
