Dunk contest?
— LeBron James (@KingJames) February 8, 2013
So the lineups for Dunk Contest, 3-Point Contest and Skills Challenge have been announced. I'm going to be honest I'm a little disappointed again. Why can't the elite dunkers like Lebron James, Blake Griffin, Russell Westbrook just participate already. Why tweet and tease all of the NBA fans that would love to see you out there? Imagine the amount of the viewers that would produce and the intensity of the competition. It would truly be a legitimate competition for the best dunker in the league. Now the 3 point competition should be very legitimate on the other hand. It has some of the top 3 point shooters in the game and it should be fun to watch. Skills Challenge is kind of lame in my opinion I wish they would think of some other competition to showcase point guard talents other than that.
Dunk Contest Participants:
Gerald Green- Indiana Pacers
Terrance Ross- Toronto Raptors
James White- New York Knicks
Jeremy Evans- Utah Jazz (Defending Champion)
Eric Bledsoe- Los Angeles Clippers
Kenneth Faried- Denver Nuggets
My Prediction: I'm going to take Eric Bledsoe of Lob City. He is small but explosive and can really throw it down. I think with the help of teammate and former champion Blake Griffin he'll know what to do to get the emphatic dunks
3 Point Contest Participants:
Paul George- Indiana Pacers
Kyrie Irving- Cleveland Cavaliers
Steve Novak- New York Knicks
Ryan Anderson- New Orleans Hornets
Matt Bonner- San Antonio Spurs
Steph Curry- Golden State Warriors
My Prediction: I'll take my man Steve Novak. He is built for this competition because honestly what else does he do besides hit clutch 3's? Highest percentage in the league last year
Even Bolder Prediction: He will pull out the Discount Double Check after he wins
Skills Challenge Participants:
Atlanta Hawks- Jeff Teague
Jrue Holiday- Philadelphia 76ers
Brandon Knight- Detroit Pistons
Tony Parker- San Antonio Spurs
Damien Lillard- Portland Trail Blazers
Jeremy Lin- Houston Rockets
My Prediction: Give me Damien Lillard. He is the leading candidate for ROTY coming out of Weber State. He has shown that his skill set is elite already and I think he'll show everyone this weekend
P.S. Nobody cares about the Shooting Stars challenge so I won't blog about it
Leave your comments of your predictions!!
