NBA Slam Dunk Contest '08

Ok its time to look into this year's Slam Dunk contest at the NBA All Star Weekend '08. The participants - Gerald Green (last year's champion), Rudy Gay, Dwight Howard & Jamario Moon. We saw a lot of Gerald Green last year and it would only be the 3rd time in history that someone wins the contest back-to-back. Jason Richardson in 2002 & 2003 and Michael Jordan in 1987 and 1988.

Honestly I don't see a repeat coming this year. With two new entrants in Gay and Moon, I think there will be enough new stuff to see amongst those 2 only. I think it would be one of them taking it away this year.

Its amazing how these guys can come up each year and raise the bar one more level. It is tough to beat previous years best but every next year we see a new dimension added. Its really unbelievable what these guys can do.

Anyway, 16th Feb is the date to note for this event. Enjoy!!!

Hands down tho, Dwight has no equal: with this level of prep work, there's no way he won't take it.
