Report: Blake Griffin to Highlight Dunk Contest Field

Numerous media reports place Griffin in this year‘s Dunk Contest, along with a bunch of other guys no one really cares about in such an exhibition (Brandon Jennings, really?): “Clippers forward Blake Griffin, who has become must-see TV because of his slam dunks, will be in the NBA’s slam dunk contest, sources said Tuesday night. Joining Griffin will be Washington Wizards 7-foot centerJaVale McGee, Oklahoma City Thunder 6-10 forward Serge Ibaka and Milwaukee Bucks 6-1 guard Brandon Jennings, sources said. Jennings, who attended Dominguez High in Compton before he finished his high school career at Oak Hill Academy, has a broken right foot and is expected to be out four to six weeks, but he is expected to be healthy for All-Star weekend.”

    Is this the tallest SDC ever? Check Ibaka’s vert test at the end of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-6opHOfJJE

    I can’t believe that people have the nerve to be mad at a player that refuses to be in a silly a** dunk contest. What does he gain by going into the dunk contest and winning it? Does it automatically make people believe he’s all of a sudden a great guy? Does it automatically make him a HOF player? Does it automatically win him a chip? What the hell does he gain by going into something as useless as a dunk contest. It was just yesterday that chaps on this site defended and sided with Pip for refusing to enter a playoff game because his coach hurt his little feelings and today they are chastising Bron for not entering something as irrelevant as the dunk contest. People are really losing it and may the Lord have mercy on us all.

    Jennings has hops & BGriff is a beast dunker in the games but that doesn’t make them contest worthy. I’m not saying they aren’t but whoever picks the contestants are either terrible at it or had only a couple of players to choose from. lol. Creativity please….
