Thomas, Howard And Green To Join Nate In Dunk Contest
5th February, 2007 - 2:37 pm
Press Release -

New York’s Nate Robinson will defend his crown in the 2007 Sprite Slam Dunk competition to be held on NBA All-Star Saturday Night presented by EA SPORTS™, Feb. 17 at Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

Robinson will compete against three first-time entrants – Boston’s Gerald Green, who is an alumnus of the NBA Development League, Orlando’s Dwight Howard and Chicago’s Tyrus Thomas – for this year’s title.

Last year in Houston, the 5-9 Robinson outlasted Philadelphia’s Andre Iguodala 47-46 in a dunk-off to become only the second sub-6-foot winner in contest history joining Spud Webb, the 1986 champion. Webb provided the bounce pass for Robinson’s only 50-point dunk of the competition

Damnnnn, Gerald Green is doing it? I hate to piss anyone off but I would bet the house on him winning this competition. He was absolutely nasty at the HighSchool dunk contest a few years back.

^ I'm with stupid.
DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure. And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.

I really liked this kid coming out and was pulling for him warrick, and bynum instead of frye i think the upside on him is tremendous, he is a little braindead sometimes, but he has a sweet stroke, the celts would have been very dangerous if they just kept their pick this year instead of wasting in on telfair.....

Would have liked to see Josh Smith in it again as well

Dwight and Ty are gonna get crushed. Big men with power dunks NEVER fair well in the dunk contest. Personally I would have liked to see

Smith
Nate
Green
Iggy...

However I wish they expanded the field to 6 dunkers because 4 just seems like it over quick(except for Nate's 8,000 tries last year-then it seemed a tad too long).

With the final two spots, I'd probably add Carter and JR Smith.

I agree. 7,000 tries should be the limit.

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

Nice razzle dazzle, but how's his shooting? How's his defense? How's hit FT shooting? How is he as a team player? I hear he has his moments.
I'll never trust this' team again.
