i never heard of him before. i always thought vince carter would own these.

oh well. guess i should get caught up a lil more on the bball season... since football is over and i despise baseball.

Football's not over - there's always the AFL!! :p :p

Love Live Arena Football!! :p :p

I agree with Toxikk that Vince Carter is the man when it comes to slam dunking and I think he will win this year.  I can't remember, but wasn't Carter injured last year and was unable to participate?

Unfortunately, Vince Carter is not participating this year. The contestants for this year's Slam Dunk Contest are Jason Richardson, Ricky Davis, Chris Andersen, & Fred Jones. No disrespect to Jason Richardson or any of the other contestants, but the past few years the Slam Dunk Contest has been rather disappointing. I can't remember if it was last year or the year before where contestants had to spin the wheel and perform the dunk stated. It was ridiculous. Steve Francis got the short end when his dunk required him to palm the ball when he was incapable of doing that.

The Slam Dunk Contest is a joke anymore. The real all-stars don't compete in it anymore. It's more of a younger player event. The last time I watched it there was nothing new either. It's like there is no higher level to take dunking too. Maybe this year will be better.

Gah I just saw that when I was eating lunch today and watching sports center. What a disappointment,just like the 20 minute segment on how my favorite team, the Sixers, are falling apart.

King James is actually considering entering the dunk contest now, which would shake things up and give it some viewers. I personally hope Freddy Jones wins because I'm from Indiana. But I think Ricky Davis has a good chance if the judges don't screw him over "for the good of the game".

Yeah, I think Jason will win it again. He'll be the first 3-peat champion. Why? Because he doesn't just "fly" or "have hops", the dude has absolute POWER on his dunks. He got a 50 last year from a simple windmill jam, which any athletic dunker can do, but not since Dominique Wilkins has there been that kind of power generated.

I remember seeing Fred Jones do some absolutely sick stuff at Oregon the past few years. I wouldn't mind it if he won. As long as LeBron doesn't win, it doesn't matter.

And I agree, Steve Francis should've won that year. I mean, he was at least 4 inches shorter than the next guy, but his dunks were more exciting I thought. Oh well, time for J-Rich to bring another trophy back to the Bay :p

Lebron said after last nights game that he will definitely NOT participate because he is trying to rest up. If he was in it would definitely make it much better.

That would generate some buzz though which is sorely missing from the dunk contest (How about a LBJ and Melo final?). It used to be a pride thing but now its pretty much a joke. Maybe it could be a contract incentive. Id bet some big name stars would come out if it had some cash-o-lios attached to the trophy.

Lol, I was watching the Sports Center clips of it last night. He got raped by the Nets.

    • Why? Many companies have rules about leaking. Even people in retail have rules about leaks. If this guy left his work device with alpha or beta code on it lying around AND allowed the devices pin code to be gotten out of his head he needs another job then working for a software company. Only a judge or his employer (because it's their loaned hardware) can compel him to reveal that pin code.
    • Intel is shutting down Clear Linux OS by Usama Jawad Grim Reaper graphic via Galleryyopriceville Clear Linux OS was a Linux distribution maintained by Intel itself. It wasn't a general-purpose operating system, and was instead meant for more specialized activities like cloud computing, distributed computing, and DevOps. But perhaps the main selling point of this distro was that it was optimized for Intel's hardware - these improvements extended to AMD too. Despite it being fairly popular within its niche community, Intel has decided to axe the project. In a forum thread, the Clear Linux OS team has announced that effective immediately, Intel is ending support for the project. What this means is that no security updates or patches will be provided for the OS. In addition, the project's GitHub repository will soon be archived in a read-only mode. Intel has urged users of Clear Linux OS to migrate to any other Linux distro that is being actively maintained. No reason for abandonment has been highlighted, but it is likely that this decision is backed by cost-cutting measures. Intel recently announced layoffs impacting 5,000 employees, while also making a rather somber comment that it is too far behind in the AI race to catch up now. It's possible that the Clear Linux OS project was axed to improve the company's financial posture, but it is unknown if the team behind the initiative is impacted too. Intel has emphasized that despite this closure, it remains fully committed to the Linux ecosystem, and will continue supporting open-source projects and distros maintained by others. Its efforts will revolve in the same area of improving the performance of Linux software on Intel hardware. Responses to the thread have been very sympathetic and supportive, with many expressing gratitude to the Clear Linux OS team for supporting the project for over a decade. It remains to be seen which Linux distro Clear Linux OS customers will gravitate to next.
    • Why would AdGuard care though on a less than 1% browser? Most people revile Edge on desktop for goodness sake! It makes no sense!
    • when a "company A" spends time to develop a new feature, is not Company A responsibility that their competition has easy method to copy their new feature.
    • oh, you haven't used office in a while. real office has so many new features now, its not even close.
