LeBron has a pretty good excuse, if you are trying crazy dunks you might land the wrong way, and it would be worse for him landing on a touchy ankle.
Maybe the guys who don't participate in the dunk contest are afraid they are going to lose or have crappy dunks. A lot of these dudes have big egos, and they would rather not participate than look silly when they miss a dunk, even though it's not even a big deal. It's probably also harder to come up with new dunks these days, unless you want to take off from the three point line or something.
The dunk contest used to be what I looked forward to the most, but now I don't even know what time its on.
