Just interested on your thoughts on the NBA dunk contestants this year. Obviously Blake Griffin is great and so is McGee. Just don't know about the other 2 guys. Ibaka gets dunks but if you look at his highlights he is not the best leaper. Jennings? Players in our NBL could dunk better then Jennings e.g. Abercrombie, Dorsey, Ira Clark.

I don't like the Javale Mcgee pick, seems to similar to the Chris Andersen choice a few years back, and that was an absolute disaster.
For me it's between Griffin and Ibaka. Ibaka should be able to bring some pretty good power dunks and we all know what Griffin is capable of. Jennings has a pretty good vert but I don't know how he will go, especially because he is currently out with a broken foot.
If I got to pick 4 young guys I would have gone with:
Blake Griffin
Russell Westbrook
Terrence Williams
DeMar DeRozen
In any case, surely the contest won't be as bad as last year!

Sonny Weems is pretty good. Westbrook would be good too watch. Paul George, hasn't proved himself yet though.

Jennings has massive hops, he definately should be in it, but coming off foot surgery and entering seems a bit weird. Javale McGee is either going to change to dunk contest forever or completely fail and it'll be a disaster. Ibaka won a dunk contest in Spain in 2008 so he seems like a good pick. i'm picking Griffin though.

Jennings in a Dunk comp would be great exposure for his shoe brand Under Armour. There in lies the motiviation for being in the dunk comp.

Already seen that dunk before by many people that jennings did in that video. Want someone who has the ability to do something new and brilliant which i beleive we will get from Blake Griffin and probably Javale Mcgee.
