Smith again, for me.

I like Josh Smith too, it'd just be cool to see a 5'9" Nate do some extraordinary shit...

Cool.  You know, IMO, ever since the Slam Dunk Competition with Vince Carter people have had extremely high expectations for the Competition and they really have overlooked how exciting some dunks (not really the competition) have been the years after.

Imagine a competition with Vince, Kobe, LeBron, J. Richardson, Ricky D, McGrady, Kenyon Martin, and a couple more of the high-flying big names (I remember there used to be like 8 participants in the competition)...Shit would draw MAD ratings.

Hell yeah.  It will probably get more viewers than a Finals without the Lakers lol

They're never down...That's petty shit for them...Sucks, cuz back in the day it was considered an honor to be selected.

Nate Robinson is gona take it.  I doubt Smith will do anything new, and people will be impressed with Nates dunking ability for his size.

Man i thought Gerald Green would be in it this year but i think Nate Robinson will be pretty impressive and win it.

whats up with Gerald Green anyways?  Does anyone know if he sees the court?  Havnt heard nothing about him this year.

[$do11a biLL$]

They're trying to develop him until they think hes ready to start playing but i don't know why he hasn't played yet this season. I thought he would've had alot of minutes by now but he hasn't played in one game yet. I hope he doesn't turn into a player that the Celts don't know how to use and gets traded to a team that does.
