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.
I have one very simple request if Jaylen makes the dunk contest. 

One of his dunks... Jaylen takes off his jersey to reveal a Dee Brown jersey underneath... Kenny will be like "OMG that's Dee Brown's Jersey!  Here we go!"... and then Jaylen does Dee's classic dabbing dunk.

All-Star week-end doesn't mean much but I think it's good to see some green jerseys. He will show he belongs there, get some reputation maybe...

Won't he look like a spoiled kid if he says no ?

Dee was nothing without the pump
Yup

I'd like to see him in it. It's always good to get the C's more recognised to the general public and I'd like Brown to get a following. He's got a serious chance of being a major player in this league so I'd like to get the ball rolling on his support

I always like it when a Celtic participates in allstar weekend, so I hope he does it.  On another note, I think Gerald would still kill Brown in a dunk contest.

There seems to be a lot of negativity about the dunk contest on here.  That surprises me after last year's inspirational contest between Aaron Gordon and Zach Lavine.  That was the most exciting dunk contest since Vince Carter was in it.

My worry is that Jaylen won't be all that good.  I don't really want to see him go and be a boring first round exit.  If he goes, I want to see some special dunks.

Those two raised the bar last year.

I was coming on here to write this, too. Gerald clearly seems to have more hops than Jaylen and I am also worried about Jaylen's showmanship (or lack thereof).

I think he should absolutely do it, regardless. The NBA is about star-power and image, but it would also be a great opportunity for Jaylen to be around the best players in the world. Who cares if it is just a stupid exhibition (the vibe I am hearing so far)? It still seems like a worthwhile experience.

People get all curmudgeonly about the ASG for some reason. Heaven forbid the league take a breather and get the best talents together to have some fun for a weekend.

I only watch the side events if a Celtic is in it, so I'm hoping he participates.

Didn't Dee Brown wreck his knee in one of these dunk contests? Never was the same.

I'd rather he skipped it, spent the weekend working on his jumper & watching film of defensive rotations.

Honestly I don't think Brown has done enough this season to deserve this.

Nothing to do with how many points he scored.
