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.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
