Yes.... the top dunker is voted on by the fans, but in the end it's what the teams do as a whole is what the competition is based upon.
If he's going to say it he should go out their & prove it. Who wouldn't want to see Lebron vs Blake Griffin?
But he's been saying it for at least 6 seasons. Eevery year at the event, he says he's gonna get in it, following year, never does. He's all talk.
Guess he's afraid that he will lose to a nobody and tarnish his ''legacy''

The year Griffin won it...it was already predetermined that he would win. You really think that they had the Kia car in the building for him to jump over if he wasn't going to get the numbers needed to advance to the final round?If he's going to say it he should go out their & prove it.

And you guys get trolled by him every year he says it.
Besides, why do you care? You already said the NBA is the most boring sport on the planet. Why do you give fuck who participates?
Not sure what that has to do with what I said (maybe you meant to quote a different post?), but...
The only 2 I know of are T-mac (wrist) and Tony Dumas (knee).
Just thought you would know.
If it's not that big of a risk then it confirms that Lebron is just a pussy. He is afraid he'll lose and may even get hurt losing.
I really don't care at all honestly, but if you're gonna talk a big game, participate.
I gave up on the NBA years ago, too many crybabies, especially from superstars like LBJ, also turning your back on your home city that you promised a championship for, then leave to team up to win one. Something MJ would have NEVER did.
The difference between a real superstar and the so called ''King James'' Dunk contest used to be fun to watch, many years ago, now it's just boring.
You want it to get exciting again, tell LBJ to man up and finally enter it. But, like I said, he's afraid that he will lose to some noname in it and tarnish his ''legacy''
I look at it like this, if you want me to watch give me a good reason to. I'd watch Lebron take on all comers in the Slam Dunk Contest. I'd also have a lot more respect for the league if they penalized teams for tanking this season. I don't care who it is. What's going on is EMBARRASSING.
Somebody who gets it!
i'm with you. he should've kept his mouth shut...
Why not? He probably figured if he landed that dunk he was in good shape. You think the dunk contest was fixed? Really? I'm not saying that that kind of thing is impossible, but, really?
He's basically asking for all this backlash he's receiving for it, by not shutting his mouth, every fucking year. And i'll gladly give it to him.
Everything so convenient for NBA in dunk contest. Today it turns out a lot of his suspicions could very well be right as an official NBA memo has been discovered that was sent out over an hour prior to the dunk contest, but listed Blake Griffin as the 2011 Dunk Contest Winner
Subway spent a reported $3 million in a Blake Griffin media campaign All-Star weekend. ZERO was obviously spent on JaVale McGee of the Wizards.
- NBA officials forced Blake Griffin to use a Kia, the official car sponsor of the league, rather than a higher end car he wanted to use for his final dunk. This product placement paid off in a commercial and possible endorsement deal for Griffin.
- Blake Griffin is the most searched athlete in the world on YouTube. It would have been bad for the NBA’s business if he had lost the dunk contest to a scrub from the Wizards.
- Nike had an entire marketing campaign planned around Blake Griffin winning the dunk contest. They began to reveal the plan this week for the Nike Hyperdunk 2011 10.0 for Blake Griffin.

In the link, it shows where you can click on a memo that was sent out even before the contest happened. Look at the 1:20pm to 2:00pm...where it calls Griffin the winner of the 2011 contest.
Lebron says this every year. He's asking for the backlash as far as I'm concerned. Participate & prove yourself or keep your mouth shut.
