Mitchell won't defend Dunk contest title...

I am glad he isn't doing it. He had the foot problem last year and dunking takes a toll on your body. I would rather him rest as much as possible.

Hopefully, Korver or Ingles get the greenlight for participating in the 3 pt contest. However, it'll be a 50-50 chance for either of them accepting the invitation. We need some Jazz representation at least right?

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

100% agree. Well obviously people like it but in the grand scheme of things it's absolutely pointless. The smart thing to do is rest up and get back healthy for a championship run. That gives you more exposure than a pointless dunk contest. Like winning did **** for Jeremy Evans.

As far as Ingles I highly doubt he'd do it. He was talking about his leg being in pretty bad shape on 97.5 yesterday and how he was looking forward to getting it healthy again. Again way more important than a stupid contest.

If they had an all star contest playing ball while simultaneously holding a can of beer, my money would be on Jingles.

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!

Joe would definitely put his money ball rack first since he probably wouldn't be able to get off all of his shots in time lol.

No need to waste his time or energy! Dunk contest is for blowhards that have no concept of fundamental basketball.

Best team decision ever.
