Mitchell won't defend Dunk contest title...

I still like the dunk contest, but its so hard to find original dunks now... so much has been done. It's still entertaining. 3 pt contest is pretty fun.
 
He had all damn year to think up new dunks, or continue to pay tribute to other great past dunkers. All of these reasons you guys are coming up with for Mitchell are nothing but excuses
 
He won it last year. What's the point in defending it? Rest, relax, get ready for some run up the standings after the All star break.

Call me old school, but I’m disappointed in Mitchell not doing the contest this year. I miss the spirit of competition that was back in the day. Probably why I don’t get the same satisfaction watching sports today as in years past. Just not the same passion anymore. As a champion I’d feel a sense of pride and angst to prove I’m still the best. These qualities just aren’t traits you find in players these days. I’d be damned if I was to win something not to go back and keep my title

I'm glad DM isn't doing it this year but I totally understand where you are coming from and mostly agree.

Also, I don't think DM was all that great in the dunk contest when compared with other dunk contest guys. It was a weak dunk contest last year. Still loved watching him win but if he had to go against a true great (lavine, Iggy, Gerald green, Gordon, Richardson, Kemp, Jordan, nique, VC, even Dwight howard etc etc) he would get his *** kicked.

I like it too.
I wish they would change the format to a HORSE style. Like I do a dunk and see if you can do it too. If you can't you get a letter. If you can, the judges judge who did it better and the one with the lower score gets a letter.

Would also like to see a high dunk competition. Keep raising the hoop a few inches until only one guy can dunk on it.

Was Korver ever in the three point contest?
 
I wish he would have done it. This is still kind of a building year. I mean sure we want him ready, but our team isn’t quite there yet. The dunk contest is great publicity for him and the team. I’m a bit disappointed. Respect his reasoning, but it’s still good to promote yourself as much as you can. The Allstar voting returns should show everyone here that. He needs his name in people’s minds as often as possible.

I would rather see Joe in the 3 point shoot out. How epic would it be to have Joe out there trash talking guys and flashing his patented Aussie smirk!

I would like Joe in there too lol. If he'd be willing to do it, I almost feel like he may turn it down. He and his family usually vacation during that time. I wouldn't mind Donovan in it or the skills challenge. I know Donovan hasn't shot great from 3, but both those contests take far less preparation, and if you watch Donovan in warm up shots he rarely misses a shot. I think hed do decent as well. I would love to see Joe there though.

No one gives a **** about a mediocre dunk contest.
