J.R. Smith - Out of high school. On the crappiest team this year. Last name is Smith.
Josh Smith - Out of high school. On the arguably second-crappiest team this year. Last name is Smith.

Where's the creativity? They have two guys named Smith who came out of high school, two past-failures who both came out of community college, absolutely no actual post-NCAA talent whatsoever, and they don't even have the defending champion, Fred Jones. To top it all off, neither LeBron, Wade, or Carmelo are in it, which are three players that would make up an amazing contest even with just those three players participating.

They really need to expand the contest; make it take half a day. There are just waaaay too many players who have mad hops that don't get recognized in the contest, and the ones who are currently being recognized don't even belong there.
