I know that no one cares about the slam dunk contest because the best players don't compete. Except Amare Stoudamire, remember his dunk off the backboard via Nash's head? That was awesome. I think Fred Jones won it once. Horrible. Anyway, there might be a little reason to watch this year.
They've narrowed the field to four dunkers, defending champion Josh Smith of the Atlanta Hawks, AI2 aka Andre Iguodala of the 76ers and Syracuse standout Hakim Warrick, now on the Memphis Grizzlies. Even though Warrick is averaging less than 10 minutes a game he sure can sky. The fourth competitor is the Knicks own Master Nate Robinson. At 5'9", he's the shortest Slam Dunk competitor since Spud Webb won the damn thing.
