I think Josh Smith will take it again

Does anyone else sigh whenever Andre Iguodala is mentioned anywhere?

Josh and Hakeem are my 2 favourite dunkers

I think Hakeem's more of a game dunker though. Not sure how he'll do

He'll be an interesting one. He'll be to get his arm so high above the rim but he's certainly got some stiff competition.

Too bad Nate already has this thing one.

All he has to do is not miss and he's the winner.

I wanna see Nate rock the Spud Webb jersey!! Like Smoove did with Nique. That would be crazyyy

Yeah, he can get up but what impresses me about his dunking is the ability to get over people in games, which isn't a factor in the dunk contest. I'll be cheering for him though, I've liked him as a player since his Syracuse days.

Hakim's dunks are made more impressive because they are over people. I think that without the defence he won't be that impressive.

I think he will finish last.... but then again I'd rather be a game dunker then a contest dunker.

[SickGame]

Hakim will be a power type dunker, I can't see him doing anything crazy
Josh Smith is..well we've seen him, no need to say anything, but I still think he has no charisma or flair.
Nate Robinson has hops and essentially has thing in the bag based on his size. All he has to do is not miss as someone else said and make it look good. The spudd webb jersey would be nuts.
A.I....Sigh...Ha, but he's my favourite of the bunch. He has hops, athleticism and most of all, he dunks with authority and power. I'm excited to see him.

Anyhow, it can't be as bad as last years.

[Q8i]

The Other A.I Is Gon' Take It -
Josh Smith, I Dont Think Hes Gon Add Anythin New!
Nate Robinson, I Know TNT Is Gon Go Crazy Over This Guy.. Cuz All He Has To Do Is One Hand Dunk & It's Gon Look Sick.
Hakim, What Is He Doin In The Dunk Contest?
