I’ll admit I haven’t paid much attention to the NBA Slam Dunk Contest since the days of Dr. J, Dominique Wilkins and Spud Webb.
The Dunk Contest and its car jumping ridiculousness is just a glaring example of all that is wrong with the NBA – overhyped and incredibly boring.
But, I digress. Hoop junkies and Stuart Scott seem to love it.
Thursday, the NBA announced this years roster for the dunk-fest:
Paul George, John Wall, Damian Lillard, Ben McLemore, Harrison Barnes, and defending dunk champion Terrence Ross.
Festivities take place February 15 in New Orleans.
The folks at Hoop MixTape have actually put together a pretty cool highlight reel featuring this years contestants.
