Still undecided about it, though. Hopefully he does it!

If he goes you know he's going to bring Gerald Green along for some sort of gimmick.  Maybe break Dee Brown out of the moth balls while he's at it.
Yup

Its a double edged sword. If he does it and wins, he will be seen nothing more than a "dunker" for the foreseeable future. Lavine is a great player, but most people see him as that guy that won the dunk contest twice.

LeBron avoided it I believe.

I would advise him to say NO

Honestly I don't think the dunk contest is big enough anymore to dominate a guy's reputation like that.

Don't care too much if Jaylen enters but it's always nice to watch a Celtic in those contests. And not bad to put a smart kid like him around the best players in the league for a weekend. I say if he's into it, let him have a little fun.

I'd rather he don't.

I'd rather he throw it down IN GAME on someone's head rather than showboating in All-Star weekend after IT was snubbed a starting spot.

It would be cool to see him with both of the celtics dunk champs.

Wasn't Nate Robinson also a Celtic during one of his dunk championships?

The dunk competition, like the entirety of all-star weekend is lame.  Just say no Jaylen.

why so negative, personally I think he should, just being there for the weekend among the stars of the league and the game's legends would be a nice boost of confidence. It's just a dunk contest
