2009-10 Slam Dunk Contest & LeBron James
December 4, 2009
LeBron James participating in this year’s All-Star weekend’s Slam Dunk Contest is no longer a sure thing. At last year’s event in Phoenix, LeBron said that he planned to dunk in the 2010 festivities in Dallas. Now James is down to “50/50″ on whether he plans to take part. The reason he initially wanted in was he thought last year’s contest was too “watered down” and his participation might revive the weekend’s signature event.
Now even he has his doubts on whether the event can re-establish itself as the highlight of the weekend like it was back in the 80s and when Vince Carter put on his show 10 years ago. He says back then “it was more about the dunks and less about what was going on around the dunks. We’ll see what happens.”
Hopefully LeBron will end up participating, otherwise I’m sure we’ll get another tame event with youngsters trying to put themselves on the map. It would be nice to see all the big boys try their hand at the competition though.
