2011 NBA Dunk Contest

Everybody that watched last year dunk contest will agree with me: it sucked. Just watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYgv7bJ5WbU

So, if we can get a good dunk contest, we're going to need some true high-flyers that are creative. No more Gerald Wallace. So this year's dunk contest should include dunkers like (assuming the superstar level players aren't interested):

Blake Griffin
DeMar DeRozan
J.R. Smith
Nate Robinson

We could also bring in a dunk contest veteran, such as Vince Carter, Jason Richardson or Andre Iguodala.

It's not just the dunkers, of course. We need dunks that we've never seen before. Not an easy task considering we've already had a lot of dunk contests. I want to see things I wouldn't imagine ever being in a dunk contest because they're just so incredible, like 720 dunks, blindfolded dunks (wishful thinking), dunking two basketballs simultaneously (one with the right hand immediately followed up by one with the left hand), stuff like that. The college dunk contest and the Sprite Slam Dunk Showdown in the offseason where the NBA and Sprite goes into various cities and hold dunk contests with the locals.

Just please. No more Gerald Wallace.

I agree with seeing something different, however, Larry Nance did the two ball dunk in 84 I believe. And Cedric Ceballos did the blindfolded dunk in 93 or 94. Definitely hit up youtube to see these dunks. They are impressive.

Larry Nance himself was impressive. He was a big guy who could JUMP! There's video of him getting his head up above the rim and doing impressive dunks.

You might have missed it but DeRozan was in it a few years ago....he did horrible.

And God knows we've all seen ENOUGH of Nate Robinson.

I agree we need something new. But these two aren't new at all.
