Magic Johnson and David Robinson ON CARD autos
Don't agree with Wall, Lillard or McLemore! Although they would probably be better than Chase Budinger! lol
Where is Gerald Green???
I hope the have Belinelli and Korver in the 3pt comp, along with Kyrie!

For me the dunk comp isn't just about seeing awesome dunks(can see plenty of them on youtube). I want to see SUPERSTARS dunking, just like the good old days.

i wish they would too! it's ridiculous that they don't want to! i'll make do with people that WANT to do it and put on a show otherwise.
Lillard was a bad choice imo
Wall and McLemore are both really athletic so hopefully some nice dunks
I think Gerald Green said that he doesn't like the dunk contest set up and would not enter it or something like that

Gerald Green Done With and Sick of the Dunk Contest
Despite being one of the League’s highest leapers, Gerald Green says he is just sick and tired of the NBA’s dunk contest. (We’ll always have the immortal Cupcake Jam, Gerald!) From the Suns’ team website: “I hate talking about the dunk contest. I’m just so sick of the dunk contest. I’m done with that. That point of my life I’m over with. Last year I tried to do a dunk no one has ever seen before. I wasn’t successful in it. That was the end of that book. I close the book, threw it in the treasure (chest), locked the key, threw it in the ocean and will never see it again. I’ll never be in a dunk contest again. I don’t ever want to be a part of it.”

@AlexKennedyNBA: This is the first time in 26 years that 3 All-Stars are competing in dunk contest (1998: Clyde Drexler, Michael Jordan, Dominique Wilkins).

@NBAGuru: Dunk Contest will be an entirely new format this year-- a layup line-style "Freestyle" round and a "Battle" Round. Love it.
