Blake Griffin & Serge Ibaka in NBA Dunk Contest

[sooner59]

Per Sports Animal. I am actually going to watch it this year now. Sounds fun.

Blake will be amazing!

The Washington Wizards JaVale McGee and the Milwaukee Bucks Brandon Jennings will also be participating. No Nate Robinson this year. There's only 4 competing this year for some reason. I hope Blake wins it. ...No, I hope he tears down the whole freakin' goal. :D

Seems like they don't have nearly as many compete as they used to...or maybe they limit it to only 4 guys now for TV purposes. If Blake really puts on a show, it will definitely mean more Clippers games on National TV next year.

I'm sure he'll have some amazing dunks, but I almost wonder though if Blake is one of those guys that is a better in game dunker though. If he can pull off some time of Alley Oop or catch it off the backboard dunk where he also jumps over someone, that would be awesome!

Blake won the McDonalds All American dunk contest coming out of high school, and he had to compete against smaller leapers that are in the NBA now. I would think the person to worry about would be Serge.

Yeah I've seen the McD AA dunk footage, but it really wasn't anything you hadn't seen before. I always like the guys that bring something new to the contest like Dwight Howard and Gerald Green did a few years back.

Do they still do the text-your-vote in for the final round? If so, I might finally do what tweens have done for American Idol for years :D

Go Blake!

I kinda think Blake will do alright... :rolleyes:
