Dwight Howard Says He's 'Retired for Life' From Dunk Contest (http://nba.fanhouse.com/2010/12/13/dwight-howard-says-hes-retired-for-life-from-dunk-contest/)
By Chris Tomasson
..."I'm retired for life,'' Orlando center Dwight Howard said in an interview with FanHouse on Monday about how he won't ever again compete in the NBA dunk contest during All-Star Weekend.
..."I don't want to do it,'' Howard, 25, said after the Magic practiced at the Pepsi Center on Monday in preparation for Tuesday's game against Denver. "I want to let other people have an opportunity to shine. I (have done) the dunk contest too many times. I'm over with it.''
..."I do too much running and jumping during the season,'' Howard said of the extra wear and tear of competing in the contest. "By the time the dunk contest comes around, my legs are as beat as anything.''
... "Some people say it's pressure that I don't do it. But I really don't want to do it anymore.''
