    His dunks that won him the dunk champ were some of the best dunks I have seen. So I don't think it's lame at all. Behind the backboard windmill dunk with no run up.... that was nasty

    Agreed. He has so much potential but it's his head and his cockiness that's stopping him from winning it imo.

    Good, nothing to prove. More juice for end of season and playoffs.

    Dwight is not even in his 30's yet but talking like he is close to retiring...

    He's already been in three dunk contests. I'm not surprised he declined.

    i wouldn't go in the dunk contest either if my back stiffens up every game and I can't even bend down to receive an entry pass

    With the dunk contest fading fast, this should have been the year LeBron finally entered. They could've had him face off against recent winners (Griffin, Evans, Green) + guys who came close (Derozan) + young guy (Anthony Davis) + Vince Carter.

    Ratings bonanza

    There's only so much creativity you can bring to a dunk contest before it starts getting old...
