You have to love the four NBA Dunk Contest participants embracing the Interwebs in this first ever year where fans have final say. The more professional athletes communicate with fans the better ... for the most part. Probably a good thing if Chris Kaman keeps to himself.
All four have posted extensive sneak peaks, practice previews, and one has even asked for our own suggestions. Grading these vids pre-contest, I have to give my vote to Jamario Moon (above). If he can pull off that dunk from beyond the free throw it's his.
Rudy Gay started this all off by asking for fan suggestions.
Here's the one I hope he tries. Guaranteed 10's across the board:
Gerald Green (defending champ) was even kind enough to throw Gay a suggestion:
Dwight Howard, the should be defending champ, has some sick dunks up his sleeve. Is there any doubt Howard is taking this far more serious that the rest. Maybe when Stan Van Gundy questioned where his head was at, he was referring to Dwight's spending all practice time trying out his dunks. Unfortunately, Stern denied his request for a 12-ft rim.
