Lavine
Oladipo
Greek Freak
Brooklyn Plumlee

Going back to the basic format this year. 2 rounds, all dunks are judged by courtside judges, no silly conference stuff. Not really huge names, but Lavine is reason enough to be excited.

These 3 excite me enough. It is a shame they had such a shitty set up last year because that was probably the best number of stars they've had compete in a long time.

Last year was ridiculous. Even with the shitty format, the dunks were awesome. Wall's last one was amazing

And don't forget the second bounciest big man in the league. Behind his brother

Oh I agree. I think he's 3rd and could be in that top group.

But Lavine is on another level than everyone in the contest and with Giannis height and wingspan and freakish athletic ability, you know he will do something crazy.

I mean Lavine has a 46inch very and Giannis has a 39.5inch vert at 6'11 and a 7'3 wingspan.

Oladipo is gonna be competitive in it though.

It's lacking of star power, but those guys can dunk.

Thus why it sucks. The dunk contest should be the "stars".

Well when the biggest star in the game has refused to do it his entire career, a lot of guys will just follow that lead.

I don't mind seeing up and coming guys do it.

Completely agree. Lebron should be part of the dunk contest. Especially in the past. Speaking to the now part of it, you may not mind it, but im not going to pay big $ to take my kids to see one of the Plumlee's in the Dunk Contest. It should be free if anything. What a rip off.
