Re: 2006 NBA Slam Dunk Contest Participants
Erm... Warrick is a ridiculous dunker and all... But guys of his size (besides Dominique who had a much different dunking game than Warricks power dunking) do not usually impress me in the dunk contest. Like Amare in years before, it just isn't exciting. They aren't able to do the high flying acts that the Dunk contests need...

Re: 2006 NBA Slam Dunk Contest Participants
I wish we could see Desmond Mason going against J-Rich again. The ultimate would be to get VC back in there as well.
My dream lineup
VC, Mason, J-Rich, Smith, Nate Robinson: now that would be entertaining

Re: 2006 NBA Slam Dunk Contest Participants
It really is a shame that guys like vince , tmac , mason, kobe, j rich, steve francis wont enter the dunk contest for fear of losing and ruining their dunk rep.
My moneys definatley on smith to repeat though.
