So after last night’s game against the Raptors, Shaq spit out this idea to fix this year’s dunk contest.
Following Tuesday night's win over Toronto, O'Neal was asked if he would like to see teammate LeBron James participate in this year's event. That's when he offered his idea. He would like to see former dunk champion Vince Carter, Kobe Bryant and others take part along with James.
"As his manager, I will only allow 'Bron to do the dunk contest if Vince Carter comes back out," O'Neal said. "If Kobe comes back out and if another big name comes back out. If we could get a big prize and have half of the money go to the people of Haiti and the other half to the winner.
1. LeBron is still a punk for backing out and not doing this year’s dunk contest anyways
2. Kobe and Vince Carter are older now. Can they still throw down some nice dunks? Yes they can, but it won’t be the same as when those two stole the show when they were younger. Shaq is calling out Kobe and Vince because he knows LeBron would beat them. It is that simple.
3. This year’s competitors offer up a greater challenge to LeBron. Shannon Brown and Gerald Wallace can throw it down. I think “King James” is afraid to get beat by a non superstar.
Those other guys didn’t preliminarily put their name into this year’s dunk contest and back out either. Big difference.
