The Spurs officially suck if that wasn't completely clear after back-to-back loses last week that were perfectly winnable until late chokefests.
will he still be eligible to join next year if he happens to get playing time?

I think he was eligible this year but he just wasn't invited to participate.
Does Anybody Have Video I Want 2 C What He Can Do
I know Kori's not a fan of posting NBA videos. But I haven't seen that one, and it was nice to get a look at his jump shot. It's hard to tell from 2-3 short clips but it seems like at least his release isn't ugly. Also he shoots it in the flow of the game pretty well. Doesn't seem forced.
I really want to see this guy get some minutes. See what he can do against NBA level defenses.
No surprise. He didn't play 1 second in the NBA.
The music sounds like White is dead.
I don't know how you got that from the video? Its nothing but clips of his dunks from high school and college career. I wont post the link to it because its NBA video, but go to you tube and search James White first NBA dunk.
The song is called "The Worlds Greatest" by R-Kelly.
It's truly shocking that a guy who's never played a second in an NBA game wouldn't be among the 4 players across the league who were invited to participate in an all-star weekend festivity. I am shocked.
I don't mind the fact that he's not in it, I mind that Dwight Howard and Tyrus Thomas are in it, when in reality they have no shot to win it

Thomas only dunking for dough

SALT LAKE CITY -- Perhaps Tyrus Thomas will display more energy and enthusiasm during the slam-dunk contest than he did Monday in discussing his participation.
Asked if he were excited about becoming the first Bull since Scottie Pippen in 1990 to participate in the event as part of All-Star weekend, Thomas barely looked up from untying his shoes.
"Not really," Thomas said. "I'm just going to go out there, get my check and call it a day."
Asked if an opportunity to rub elbows with some of the game's greats could be beneficial for a rookie, Thomas kept unlacing.
"I'm just into the free money," he said. "That's it. I'll just do whatever when I get out there."
Thomas makes $3.26 million.
The winner gets $35,000. The runner-up receives $22,500. Third and fourth place are worth $16,125.
Thomas' compe ion is Orlando's Dwight Howard, Boston's Gerald Green and defending champion Nate Robinson of the Knicks.
Michael Jordan will serve as a judge along with heavyweights Dominique Wilkins, Julius Erving, Kobe Bryant and Vince Carter. This slightly stirred Thomas.
"I might have to break out some tapes of old contests," he said. "But I'm just taking it for what it's worth."
Jordan is the event's only back-to-back winner, and his winning dunk from the foul line at the Chicago Stadium in 1988 still resonates with Bulls fans.

thought he played when he was on the pacers.
that slam dunk trophy has his n name engraved on it even b4 he declared to enter the nba, dude whoever n jumps and does any freestyle dunks from ft line = automatic champion.
too bad stern robbed him from it, with the help of popa
In the preaseason. Technically I guess you could say that he's been in an NBA game, but those games don't count for anything...
amoebas have more intelligence than you.too bad stern robbed him from it, with the help of popa
STFU already.
Is the carnival slow today?
It's ridiculous. James White can't even get minutes and yet, somehow, the league was supposed to pluck him off the Spurs' bench and highlight him during all-star weekend. If James White was on the Pacers' roster right now and in the same situation, all of these clowns wouldn't even know who he was; but, since he's on the Spurs' roster, he's a potential dunk champion who's being done wrong by Popovich and the league AND the likely savior of the Spurs' franchise.
I'm sure the league has just decided to hold James White back -- probably because he plays for the Spurs.
Didn't you already do that a few posts up?
The link you quoted isn't NBA video. James White has never played in an NBA game.
Ah, that's right.
Doesn't the NCAA care about the copyrights on it's videos?
Probably.
But our rules are about NBA game video.
I see what you are getting at, but it's not because he is on the Spurs roster that some of us think he can be a Dunk Champion, it's because he would be a heavy favourite.
Have you seen some of the dunks he can do? FT Line Through the Legs, FT Line Windmill, FT Line Two Hands Double Pump...it's ridiculous.
NBA contests are for NBA players.
