Title: Jeff Green in the dunk contest?
Post by: relja on January 27, 2013, 06:00:26 PM
Well, I am aware of the fact that we have more important stuff to worry about now, but this isn't so unrealistic.

Jeff has underperformed to the value of his contract, but the guy has been a walking highlight reel with his atheleticism and speed.

Plus, I think he has a fair chance make it because the league doesn't want to repeat last year's failure of a dunk contest (Chase Budinger, srsly?).

My prediction:

Terrence Ross
Andre Iguodala
Jeff Green
Eric Bledsoe

The real deal:

Definitely! NBA can publicize his return from surgery too to make it sound like a great comeback story.

As explosive as he is. I don't think so, he is not a "trick" dunker. He's a power dunker. More in game dunker material, than Dunk contest material. But who knows.

Well, Jeremy Evans performed those crazy dunks and he may not me more athletic than Jeff. I think he gets the nod.

Dunk contest these days is  a joke, stars avoid it.
