    I honestly think Demar DeRozan can give Blake a run for his money. The problem I can see is that this is more of a hype contest, a chance to promote the NBA's youngest star and marketing pheonom of the future, and the judges may be persuaded to give Mr. Griffin slightly higher scores then he deserves.

    Blake Griff wins this hands down! Not only is he the only name that 90% of the viewers will know, he's is the future of the NBA and they will hype him. I heard it said above and it's right, The Sprite Slam Dunk Comp is a Marketing Event, Marketing Blake Griff to the a Mainstream who may only know him by name for now. Another reason why he made AllStar as a Rookie. They will market and sell Blake Griff in this Comp. No Play b/c this is not a serious game just a marketing ploy

    My book is offering DeRozan at +400. Seems like tremendous value compared to what Judie posted in her poll.

    Serge Ibaka +750 (Steve Kerr Picked him) or i think. Heck if you have a $20 bill why not place it on him!

    There was a clip the other day of Demar practicing for the competition with help from Jus Fly and Dawkins.
    He showed a perfect score dunk in the vid, from the baseline he gets an ally from a teammate off the side of the support that holds the backboard, he catches and goes between the legs.

    It looks like they altered the video on NBA.com and took it out. Got him at +600 which is pretty crazy imo. It all comes down to the vote though, but if he comes strong in the 1st dunk of the 1st round and gets people behind him and has 2 more dunks in the finals he can take it down.

    No way Griffin loses this in LA and with the judges. Save your money and don't bet against him. Not to mention he can dunk his ass off.

    This should be an entertaining event. They are all capable of winning, every guy jumps out of the gym. I'll take the long shot.

    Well I didn't realize it was in LA now I have to think more about it. I was going with Demar DeRozan and Blake Griffin until the day of the dunk contest. Now I think about it Blake Griffin might have an unfair advantage since it's in Los Angeles. I originally was going with Brandon Jennings but he is out. So now I am not sure I want to make the bet.

    I will have my money on the 3pt comp for Ray Allen.

    Griffin wins. It's in L.A. and so much hype around Griffin, it will be hard to beat him.

    DeRozan can shoot and never will be a great player + he plays for a canadian team

    Ibaka rules but he is from Congo. Manu could be ultra mega superstar but hes not american. Maybe the most underrated player ever.

    McGee will be a role player for life

    Blake Griffin did the best dunks in a game since Shawn Kemp. So i think that he deserves it.

    ya gotta like DeRozan's chances... another reason to like DeRozan is he's a GUARD and Griffin's a power forward..... His handle and athletic dexterity isn't as deadly as Dee Dee's.... Just a thought?

    Wow,,,,,,, i remember Shawn Kemp..... his HOPS were/are ridiculous!!! On the court, he was a human highlight film!! different era though than NOW!!!! The NBA is now more of an entertainment league than ever before!!! So Blake Griffin has a very good chance of winning the SLAM DUNK, BUT DO NOT SLEEP ON DEE DEE...

    Ibaka and McGee have no shot at all they are too tall. Don't waste your money on them. Dwight H. won it and it was the worst performance in dunk contest history. He won it because of his name and lack of competition. he just put on a cape and that was all the judges needed

    I just don't see any way Griffin loses this because of his status on sportscenter. Lebron last year has been totally replaced by Griffin. Derozan is almost too tall but he could pull it off but I doubt it.

    Blake Griffin is just as tall as these guys. Griffin and Ibaka are listed at the same height, and Mcgee is only 2 inches taller.
