There’s a campaign to get LeBron to participate in this year’s dunk contest (video)

Huh? Why? I know it’s for charity and blah blah blah but I have to admit, I don’t even want to see LeBron in the dunk contest. Did anyone watch the dunk contest last year? It was AWFUL. It was an East team vs a West team in 2 rounds, a freestyle round and then a head to head round. So we didn’t get one singular winner, we got a team of winners.

I don’t want LeBron to be relegated to this nonsense. He just turned 30, the dunk contest is for the up and comers. Yes, it is beneath him. Plus, the less jumping and running he does on All Star weekend, the better. Keep those springs fresh for April, May, and June.

The only thing that is going to happen is that LeBron will politely decline and then write a check matching whatever gets donated (I hope). Mark it down.

Also, odd strategy for the Boys and Girls Club to target LeBron James and put him on the spot when just a few years ago a certain made for TV announcement raised $2 million, and also saw $500K worth of computers from Hewlett Packard and $500K worth of gear from Nike donated to clubs across the country… but that’s none of my business…

Nasty North Olmsted dunk makes #1 on Sportscenter Top 10

Exhibit A, B, C, D, E, F, G why you NEVER try and take a charge close to the basket when a player who can dunk is coming down the lane. It’s not worth it. One second you’re thinking about all the high fives you’ll get in the huddle for taking that charge and the next second you’ve got a face full of nuts and you’re being shown all over the nation as the victim of the #1 play on Sportscenter. Them’s the breaks. You made your bed and now you have to lie in it. Memo to all aspiring ballplayers out there- Don’t be the guy that takes charges because sooner or later you’ll get your soul dunked on for the world to see.

Upset of the century that the dude who threw down that dunk was white
