Follow the leader…
”At the end of the day,” Wade said, “you’re remembered for what you did at the end. . . . I think that’s the reason — Dirk says they gave us the championship last year, but he’s the reason they lost the championship, because he wasn’t the leader that he’s supposed to be in the closing moments. That’s because of great defense by us, but also he wasn’t assertive enough as a leader’s supposed to be.”

I’m wondering what’s more exciting, this year’s NBA Slam Dunk Contest, or the judges of the NBA Slam Dunk Contest? The judges of this year’s Sprite Slam Dunk competition will include Michael Jordan, who is the all-time All-Star Game scoring leader with 262 points in 14 appearances; 1985 and 1990 Slam Dunk champion and Pro Basketball Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins; 1997 Slam Dunk winner and starting guard for this year’s Western Conference All-Stars Kobe Bryant; 2000 Slam Dunk winner and 2007 Eastern Conference All-Star reserve Vince Carter and 11-time NBA All-Star and Pro Basketball Hall of Famer Julius “Dr. J†Erving.
Is it just me or has the dunk contest really sucked the last couple of years? Probably the reason I’m more excited to see the judges then the contest itself. Bunch of past and future legends on that panel!
