    ^Is it really showing off though? He throws down crazy jams in practically every game and is a SC Top Ten play waiting to happen; it's not like he needs pre-game to draw attention to himself. Personally, I'm going to get to the New Orleans Arena EARLY just to make sure I don't miss the show when the Heat take on the Hornets in a few.

    So the general consensus is TTS on these? Instead of half size up like regular X's?

    His actions falls under attention seeking

    Just like Skip said this morning I think, you're robbing the fans of a great, amazing show with your talent, whether u win or not

    MJ, Kobe, Vince, Dominique, etc, hell even Kenny the jet, short mass Spud Webb, Dr.J, etc, never had a problem showcasing their talent, win or lose

    Imagine the craziness that would generate if he was featured, then the other big names would come, now what do u have? U have the NBA at it's finest and purity etc like it used to be IMO

    BUT instead, a couple weeks after the ASG weekend, u decide to start doing that crap in pregame?



    BOOoOooO

    Let the world see that talent not just the home fans

    And now you're thinking about not doing the crap anymore bcuz of complaints...Go figure

    The mystique is gone from the dunk contest. Marquee athletes no longer compete in it, it's not the same as it was in the day of those names you listed. When I watched Gerald Wallace sleepwalk through the dunk contest in 2010 I realized that nobody cares, not even the players.

    well I spoke to nike in one of those chats and complained about the bs with bots and people getting sneakers. Than they followed up by someone from corporate calling me. They said they are in the middle of working on stopping people using bots. and than very soon it's going to be a lot harder for people to get them through these bots and programs. They also stated a lot of people have complained in the past and now it's a very serious matter they're working on. so soon enough it will be fair to everyone until people figure out a new way around the system

    im just saying, have fun lebron. thats all, dont be so serious about it! im not saying he owes anything, just continue having fun with it. Kobe dont do it cause he's against having fun! I dont blame him to an extent, but thats where some people figure who to root for......the guy that can win and have a good time vs. the guy who wins and is mad they didnt win by more!

    Don't see the big deal about him doing fancy dunks in pre-games. Same thing as players throwing up halfcourt shots or stupid trick shots. Those layup lines are more for show than anything.

    Your last part about Kobe though...I think it's as simple as Kobe's not doing that because he can't dunk well, probably knows he'll hurt himself if he tries.

    im sure kobe can still win a dunk contest, just like lebron. but if im either of them i'd rather not risk injury, and let the no name dudes have a chance at some spotlight. when jordan and em were doing it, endorsement deals were to be made off of it. nowadays they get endorsement deals just for coming into the league....no need to garner any attenton....i think? who knows? maybe he dont care bout no dunk contest!

    I get what you guys are saying

    Yes of course have fun I'm not against him doing it at all

    But why wait till NOW to do it

    Haven't seen him do that in all of his 10 yrs in the league

    Just photoshoots and half court shots

    Debron does/says annoying things like this that just makes it seem like he's in need of attention

    IMO

    ^Yeah #8 was a dunking fool, #24 not so much.

    Attempting to bridge this dunk convo talk with the shoes, I think one positive outcome of Lebron competing in the dunk contest is that there would be an opportunity for Nike to release another version of his sig, maybe with tuned down colors. That way they can continue to use the actual all star game as a means to show off their dumpster sludge inspired color-ways.
