    No way his agent would allow him to join for a measly $1 million. He would risk losing 10x that amount in endorsement deals if he lost. It's extremely high risk for very low reward. Many NBA fans already believe he is a better dunker than everyone else in the league. You can't pay for that kind of mystique.

    you wouldn't do a dunk contest for 2k? or whatever you make every 2 weeks. Most want more money even if they dont need it.

    This forum really is shit
    No offense but it sounds like u just started watching nba. Kobe actually entered the dunk contest and was awesome back in his day. Lbj is a horrible dunker. Bitch is afraid to enter bc he knows he will be embarrased.

    Kobe was not that good in the contest, he was only the 2nd guy to do a between the legs dunk in the contest, but now everyone can do that Faried did it off the glass and he is a big man

    As much as you hate him, admit it, Lebron would destroy anyone in the dunk contest. Blake is overrated, the kid can do some nasty dunks on defenders no doubt, but he isn't that creative. That car stunt last year was so soft, any descent player could jump over a car hood.

    How is Lebron creative?

    Not one dunk in his life that was great.

    vertical+power of Lebron is pretty impressive he is not the best dunker but worse dunkers have won contests before

    I guess I am in the minority. i don't care who is in the slam dunk contest. I stopped watching it nearly 10 years ago.

    Very few dunks on the contest are anymore. If you think Ross' dunks were original you don't watch the game.

    Give it up already. If you were a NBA star with a 9 digit brand value, you wouldn't enter either.

    Pauly, you mean a guy with a 9ft reach dunking on a 10ft net does not take super skills?

    C'mon Pauly, that's talent, you have to train your whole life to be able to do that.

    Nothing like the MJ and Dominique. Good dunks with just one try. And can't forget Vince, plays in games like he's in the dunk contest.
