I think these guys will do a pretty good job creativity wise. It's not easy being in the contest. Everything's nearly been done, it's hard coming up with something new.
LeBron didn't want to participate, I think he has "flu-like symptoms" now, so cross him out. But really though, I don't think he'd suit up well for the contest. He's the best in-game dunker, hands down. But if you look at all his dunks... his breakaways are always the same tomahawk, then he has an alley-oop, which is pretty bread/butter. He doesn't have that finesse that VC or Jordan had, just yet. Although that tomahawk reverse against the.. Knicks I think was pretty damn nasty.
Other guys mentioned... Dwade? Melo? All for the media hype, but does nothing for the contest. These guys are scorers, but they're not really dunkers. They are able to perform one, but not to the calibur of those that should be in the contest.
Now you bash the Smiths.. Amare, Anderson.. I'd cross out Chris Anderson from the list, he disappointed me last year and I don't see it getting any better. Amare is a monster dunker, he'll bring high-energy dunks to the table.
Josh Smith is an outstanding athlete that knows exactly how to slam it down. He has young legs and will be able to throw in a creative mix somehow. Don't bash him because of his record. It's an individual contest, has nothing to do with the team.
