Hey Nate! Could you start playing a serious basketball?

Yea, thought it was funny that Dwight Howard isn't participating because he thinks he's too old at 24. Nate's 25.

But hey, what else is he going to do? He is in the spotlight which I think feeds his ego much more than being a part of this team. And a New York jersey gets some All-Star wkend air time.

Maybe he can wear a Latin night "Nueva York" jersey and jump over the tallest NY Liberty player dressed up as Lady Lib herself.

Then Will Ferrell & him can host an after-party that will probably be the bomb!

I thought Nate said that after last year he was done? He kind of needs to do it to keep his popularity up. He is an FA this year.

Don't Slam Dunk champs get automatically included to defend their crown?
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Add this to the list of events I am NOT watching on All-Star weekend, right along with the game, the shootout, the skills, and whatever else the **** they want to peddle. I'd rather watch the All-NBA team on paper, staring at the list on a print out for half an hour.

That would be poor form.

It is getting a little old but I see no reason to criticize the guy.

No one is criticizing him if it was only his participation in the dunk contest. But if you consider the recent events, it might go over easier on sensible fans if he politely declined.

Why does he have to decline?

No problem with it either. If I was his agent I'd want him in there.

Oh man... he should get Will Farrell to dress up like Jackie Moon in a Flint Tropics throwback and have him throw the alley-oop to Nate the Great.

Tina Cervasio via Twitter: Some disappointed Nate didn't talk SlamDunkContest b4 game, but to me shows his effort for professionalism. Look @ his game 2day #Knicks

Dunk contest was played out in '89. There are only a handful of genuine ways to dunk a basketball. It's physics. You got like 10 feet between rim and floor. You got gravity. I don't need to explain in detail, you get drift.

Need I remind you all that D. Howard won this thing on a NON-DUNK!!! His hand never touched the rim!!! What's next, maybe I bounce ball off floor and swipe at the net and it is dunk?? Come on, give break to me, get the heck out of town!!~

"I know people are probably getting sick of seeing me dunk," he said. "But they said the champion's got to go back. If I don't win it, it would be good because I don't want to go back anymore. But if I do and they want me to go back again, I guess so. Keep going until I lose."

--

Nate doesn't even want to do it.

Its comical how much some cats around here loathe Nate and are always chomping at the bit to criticize him...Makes them look a lil petty if you ask me.
