NBA All Star Dunk Contest Line Up Announced, Another Disappointment

If last year’s dunk contest amazed you with Blake Griffin’s memorable dunk over a Kia or Javale Mcgee dunking on 2 goals at once, don’t have your hopes up for this year.

No Lebron James. No Blake Griffin. No Javale Mcgee. No Dwight Howard. So who is in this year’s dunk contest you ask.

Thursday the names of the players who will compete in this year’s Sprite Slam Dunk contest were released and, in all honesty, the field leaves much to be desired:

Chase Budinger, Houston Rockets

Paul George, Indiana Pacers

Iman Shumpert, NY Knicks

Derrick Williams, Minnesota Timberwolves

While there’s no question to the hops on all contestants, this sounds like a yawn worthy event. If I had to pick the final 2 to go head to head out of this bunch, I’d say Derrick Williams vs. Iman Shumpert, who both are ironically rookies. Check out the dunks below of both players.
