All-Star Slam Dunk Contest 2011 - jumpshot23 - Feb 8, 2011 Who is your favorite? Actually no one expects anyone other than the odds on favorite to win it, Blake Griffin. In my opinion he has a unique combination of fury, explosion and power. In the meantime can anyone suggest me a website to occupy my time until the All Star Weekend?

Thanks to Griffin! =) All-Star Slam Dunk Contest 2011 - highpost86 - Feb 8, 2011 I totally agree. All-Star Slam Dunk Contest 2011 - Kenneth23 - Feb 8, 2011 Blake Griffin is the favorite to win it but Serge Ibaka could also win it. He's also a very good dunker. It will be an exciting contest All-Star Slam Dunk Contest 2011 - Raze Lupin - Feb 8, 2011 [quote name='Kenneth23' timestamp='1297172661' post='28502'] Blake Griffin is the favorite to win it but Serge Ibaka could also win it. He's also a very good dunker. It will be an exciting contest [/quote] I actually think it will be boring. The participants are too big and tall. It's better when smaller guys like Nate Robinson,Spud webb or even Micheal Jordan and Vince Carter. I don't see anyone this year doing this.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbzBIvXwqEU OR Dominique Wilkins vs Micheal Jordan (Hint to disable the green comment box click on the up arrow on the lower right) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqPRdzrjWpU&playnext=1&list=PLB007897366AA1DBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest 2011 - Kenneth23 - Feb 8, 2011 Dominique Wilkins wasn't small guy. The contest won't be boring. Why does Robinson always have to be in the contest? He's a good dunker but there are other guys who can dunk. Blake Griffin is a dunkingmachine, it's fun to watch. You have to give other players a chance. It's good that it ain't all small players because now tall players can show that they also can make spectacular dunks.

Yeah my wording was poor. I know Nique was not small. I am a KNICKS fan but I don't want to see Robinson anymore either. I also went to University of Oklahoma so I'm a huge Blake Griffin fan. I saw him in High school and college now NBA. He was always a beast from a young age. He is a Genetic anomaly like Lebron james. To be so big and strong yet agile and fast. I think he has athletic ability BUT maybe not creativity. All-Star Slam Dunk Contest 2011 - Kenneth23 - Feb 8, 2011 [quote name='Raze Lupin' timestamp='1297194168' post='28521'] Good points.

If you see him dunk in a game, he amazes the people everytime. But I think the other guys like McGee, Ibaka and DeRozan could give Blake a lot of competition. It are all four fantastic dunkers. I think DeRozan will make fantastic dunks because he's really a fantastic dunker. I going to enjoy it this year All-Star Slam Dunk Contest 2011 - Black Urum - Feb 8, 2011 [quote name='Raze Lupin' timestamp='1297191225' post='28518']OR Dominique Wilkins...[/quote] Dominique won the Dunk contest in Greek All Star Game of 1996 From my archive: All-Star Slam Dunk Contest 2011 - Kenneth23 - Feb 8, 2011 Dominique was the human highlight film. He and Jordan are maybe the best dunkers in history.
