Why do you think Lebron wont join the Dunk Contest?

[pegasus]

Because his balls can take him only as far as the Phoenix Suns' training facility.

He doesn't handle pressure well.

I think Lebron thinks that he's bigger than the dunk contest.

[Mr Exlax]

Not a creative enough dunker

I think for Lebron its just a lose-lose situation.... although we would like to see what he can do/come up with lets be real the expectations are just way to high for him, anything less than beating Vince Carter's 2000 performance or at least resurrecting the dunk contest somehow it will be deemed as a disappointment... just entering & winning will also be used as "asterix", "boohoo, overrated, anybody could have won that DC, weak stuff, i knew he couldnt do anything". There is just nothing we havent seen before.....

But ability wise im sure he can do some 50's..... he is a one leg leaper aka. distance leaper (meaning his vertical is highest when sprinting of one leg, left leg to be exact) a la Julius Erving, James White..... what they can/could do is the type of dunks he can do... jumping from the FT line for example.... his two foot jumping aint even close that good and that is what is required for dunks that require more bodycontrol/contortion in air like a 540 or a 360 alleyoop between the legs windmill or something... the only two foot leaper capable of something like that is Gerald Green maybe.

He's always been more of a power dunker, which is great for in-game dunks. Dunk contest is more about the athletic finesse dunks.

If he entered the dunk contest I could see it now: It's his turn, and the all-stars on the bench, rappers in the front row, fans in the arena all stand up like they are about to witness the greatest dunk mankind has ever seen.

People give Lebron a lot of shit but I dont even blame him in this case.

LeBron is the theory of evolution. His haters are creationists.

Along with James White i think Lebron is the greatest distance leaper i ever seen in basketball, with his speed & vertical of one leg its just a perfect combination for extreme distance leaping.... that would definitely been his theme in the DC... FT line dunking theme...

Starting of with a regular FT dunk, perhaps try take of behind or even a foot behind the FT line for the extra sauce..... then an alleyoop from the FT line.... then windmill from FT line? Then jump over a car from the FT line? Then.... between the legs from FT line? Hey now dont judge

Fear of failure. He has admitted that in the past. It's a negative trait he wants to get rid of, that's why he admires MJ because he wasn't afraid of failure, and it's the last big hurdle he has to get over.
