The All-star game weekend is NY, so the NBA has to do it real big.. .I think the 2015 dunk contest should feature Andrew Wiggins, Zach LaVine, Will Barton, Tony Mitchell (Detroit Piston, not D-League player), Terrence Ross, and defending champ John Wall…That would make one heck of a dunk contest event

They could put a bunch of white D-leaguers in it and change it back to the old format and I would still prefer it to last year

I wanna see the young gunz show out. Zach Lavine, wiggins and Aaron Gordon. I wouldn’t mind seeing Adreian Payne in it either, then you can throw in defending champ John Wall and I feel like Ben Mclemore is way better than what he showed last year.

I know weather wouldnt allow this but would be cool too see the game played outdoors too give it a rucker park type atmosphere.

  Weather would only be one issues. They’d also need a venue to do it at that could hold 20,000 fans.( None! ) Also, outside courts present much more health risks. The hard floor is terrible for players knees on top of the fact they are much more likely to get scrapes. There is already a lack of hustle and defense in all star events, this would decrease that even more. And one last point, maybe just my personal opinion, but I don’t like the idea of promoting a street ball vibe. I think that’s a problem in the nba already. Too much 1 vs 1.

Andre Drummond said he intends on winning the dunk contest this year. Lavine and Wiggins seem like early locks maybe Gordon as well. Id like to see Gerald Green back in it I think he is the most complete dunker. Anthony Bennett seems to have great athletisism since getting into shape. He is a strong finisher and that would be fun to watch. And Wall is the defending champ.

I hope McLemore is in it again, there was hype going around he was doing 720 dunks in the warm-up last year.

Either Tony Mitchell would be fine. Haha. Those are some good choices. There always seems to be one guy in it you’re like huh? Last year it was Harrison Barnes. He has huge leaping ability but doesn’t seem to be super flexible or creative. Therefore it puzzled me him entering. I wonder who that will be this year.
I would love to see Nick Johnson but I’m not sure he’s in the L at the time of this. At first glance he would seem a lock to make the team but I’m sure he will be an almost exclusive D leaguer this year. They have Canaan who looks a bit more ready and they signed Ish Smith so I’m not sure there are minutes for him between those two and Beverly and Harden.
Wiggins will be everyone’s lock to be in it and I hope he is. McLemore’s self alley with the left hand last year was sick, wouldn’t mind seeing him again. Someone said Drummond wants to win it but I’m not sure the big fella has a win in him though he could put down some nice ones(doesn’t seem as fluid as Dwight was when he won). I like Aaron Gordon as a dunker but he’s a notch below elite IMO. Lavine is a good choice. Wall needs to defend. I like the Shumpert idea. If healthy he could impress.
