    Blake Griffin headlines 2011 Dunk Contest

    Serge Ibaka? Are you ****ing kidding me excuse my language. Brandon Jennings though we're in for a treat with him. He's certainly no Nate Robinson.

    Clippers forward Blake Griffin highlights slam dunk contest

    Clippers forward Blake Griffin, who has become must-see TV because of his slam dunks, will be in the NBA's slam dunk contest, sources said Tuesday night.

    Joining Griffin will be Washington Wizards 7-foot centerJaVale McGee, Oklahoma City Thunder 6-10 forward Serge Ibaka and Milwaukee Bucks 6-1 guard Brandon Jennings, sources said.

    Jennings, who attended Dominguez High in Compton before he finished his high school career at Oak Hill Academy, has a broken right foot and is expected to be out four to six weeks, but he is expected to be healthy for All-Star weekend.

    Griffin, the Clippers' 6-10 rookie power forward, has put on an amazing display of dunks that has caught the attention of NBA fans.

    He'll have a chance to show is stuff during All-Star weekend at Staples Center. The dunk contest will be Feb. 19.

    Lakers guard Shannon Brown, who was in the dunk contest last year, won't be in it this year.

    The official announcement of the dunk contest participants will be this Thursday (5 p.m. West Coast time) on TNT.

    I'll be rooting for Jennings, obviously, but Griffen will probably destroy all comers.

    Though I said the same thing about Shannon Brown last year and look how that turned out.

      Re: Blake Griffin headlines 2011 Dunk Contest

      Seriously though, he's a power dunker. Everyone on the internet is saying this guy is going to win, but I don't know.... seems like Amare in a dunk contest. What is he gonna do?

      Serge Ibaka may be the worst selection I've ever seen.

      McGee will probably try to dunk from the free throw line, as he has already attempted in game.

      I guess another no show for LeBron. I wonder if the league said no or he said no.

      The dunk contest is pretty wack these days, simply because we've all seen every dunk possible pretty much... so it is what it is. Amateurs pull off much more impressive dunks

        Nate The Great may be coming back...

        Jennings? I dont kno if he will have the hops...I kno i wouldnt if I was having sexual relations with Teyana Taylor

        Griffin would win becuse of the power dunks kind of like how LBJ would prolly win, nothing magical tho...

                If Blake cannot inject life into this competition then it truly will be a lost cause. They might as well just replace a one-on-one contest in its place if it is ho-hum again.

                  Good call.

                  Seriously what's the deal with selecting 7 footers? Dwight Howard is a special case... even McGee to an extent... but Serge must have showed something nice in a highlight tape or something for him to get selected.

                    Serge?

                    Interested in JaVale, Blake and Jennings though. That should HOPEFULLY be good. Please don't let me down like last year, dunk contest. That **** was a joke. Seriously.

                      unless he's catching opps from John Wall from half court, Javale should just sit this one out, Ibaka should take a rain check on this one as well.

                        I don't know man. I think JaVale could do something crazy.

                              I don't think anyone is counting him out..but it's 2011 - he better have something better than between the legs. I think fans have seen about 100 too many of those.
