Slam Dunk Contest (Wishlist)

[ed_satx]

ok, we are in an interesting time period in the NBA. Only scrubs participate in the slam dunk contest, yet there are some spectacular dunkers around.

I miss the good ol' days, when superstars clamored to be a part of the contest.

Here is what I propose:

A major sponsor antes up a 1 million dollar prize to entice the current crop of super dunkers.

The field is great. Many former champs are still in the league and still in the 'prime."

my field:

- Kobe
- Vince
- McGreedy
- Richardson
- Manu
- Marion
- Lebron
- Bones Barry
- Fred Jones
- Wade


any takers? any body have an extra 1-mil to spare? it would be a classic!

I don't think Manu or Barry would fare too well.

I don't think Manu or Barry would fare too well.

:tu

Manu has great in-game dunks, but as far as creativity......eh

how bout he has Timmy try to block him on one of his attempts? :lol

Barry is a nod to a past champ.
Manu is for the international appeal.

agreed, neither is a contender in this field and could be left off.

Amir Johnson from the Pistons. First and only basket...wide open windmill dunk, off a crispy pass from DARKOOOOOOO.

[George W Bush]

I clean manure when I clear brush mostly at my ranch. Never saw it dunk anything.
