Default 2009 Dunk Contest?

So guys who do y'all think is going to be going up against DH this year?
I'm still thinking but it would be cool if AI was in it again. Post your thoughts.

All those good dunkers aren't in...
If only players like KB, LBJ and Wade will join.

Isn't it only open to rooks anyway? None of them would be allowed to compete Kobe won his back in '96 but didn't defend it. Even though I doubt he would have much up his sleeve to show.

D-Wade is pathetic dunk wise. Wouldn't even stand a chance in even an NBL dc.

Lebron has refused to participate time and time again. 'Nuff said.

What they should do is take out Nate Robinson, seriously why is he there again? there is nothing else he can bring to the table except some mediocre dunks(BTL's,360's) off lobs and bounces.

They should open SDC in NBA for amateur dunkers. All those street dunkers make way better dunks than players in NBA so they should open SDC for amateurs like in France or Slovenia. What's funny ? When they did it SDC's in those counrtys was dominated by street dunkers. So maybe Mr Stern should think lillte more open.

I agree, we've probably seen like 95% of the dunks hes got, and at his height any new dunks would be limited and probably suck. hes got his chances and had his fame already the dude should just be left out. Remember those couple dunks that he couldnt pull off and we were all watching him try it OVER and OVER and OVER again?

first round was BULLSHIT. JR, Rudy and Nate had a mad first dunk but Dwight's wasnt that great BUT he got a 50. Then for the second dunk Nate's and Dwight's (who got another 50) sucked and they advance. Rudy Pulls off the maddest dunk of the night and only gets 42 (i think) but i have to say, Nate Robinson really finished off Dwight by jumping over him (kind of).

Rudy's second dunk was crazy and he only got a 42
It was rigged, the NBA wanted a little guy big guy match-up

His score was highly reduced because he missed so damn much. He couldnt do the dunk in the 1st 2 minutes. The judges already knew what he was trying to do and the surprise effect after that long isnt there. If he had made it in maximum 3-4 tries he would have got a 48-49
