J RICH IS GONNA TEAR UP EVERYBODY!!!! WHY AINT VINCE CARTER ENTERING IT, HES A WEENIE, HE PROBABLY DOESNT WANT TO MAKE HIMSELF LOOK STUPID IN ANYWAY CUZ HE KNOWS ITS DAMN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO MATCH HIS PERFORMANCE WHAT WAS IT 2 YEARS AGO OR 3????
Thats what im sayin, these players nowadays think they are some prima donnas n shit.........Actually I think Carter is "hurt" at the moment so he cant compete in the dunk contest. But the same cant be said for healthy players like McGrady, Bryant, Francis, Garnett, and a few others who it seems that they simply just dont feel like doing it. That or the NBA doesnt want them in it (which I find hard 2 believe).......If I remember correctly, back in the day M.J. and Dominique competed in at least 3 or 4 dunk contests each throughout their careers.......McGrady and Bryant (who are the supposed heir apparents to Jordan and the future of the NBA) have competed in a combined 2 appearences.......
The bottom line is that the NBA needs to bring some exitement and rivalry back to the dunk contest like it once did, its not like they have a lack of talent........Wouldnt ya'll like to see
Carter go head up against
Kobe and then throw
McGrady in there with a couple of the young high fliers like
Marion and
Richardson? That would be a hell of a lot better than watching these rather "unknown" players throw down unimaginative dunks.
Just my 2 more cents.
