2007 NBA Dunk Contest: Free James White!

With the 2007 All-Star Game coming up in Vegas, we're going to start to hear talk of who's entering the Slam Dunk contest. Last year's dunk contest turned into a sham, with Nate Robinson needing ten thousand attempts to complete is final dunk. The real shame in the NBA Dunk contest losing its sizzle is that the NBA has tons of guys that are capable of putting on a great show in a dunk contest. A lot of the better dunkers such as Kobe, VC, and Jason Richardson are older and more susceptible to injury, so I can understand why they wouldn't want to enter the contest. But what about the young guys? I know LeBron thinks dunk contest are bourgeois, so we probably won't ever see him in the contest, but here's a list of guys that I would love to see in this year's contest:

Andre Iguodala, Philadelphia
Gerald Green, Boston
Rudy Gay, Memphis
Josh Smith, Atlanta
J.R. Smith, Denver
Tyrus Thomas, Chicago
Maurice Evans, L.A. Lakers
Monta Ellis, Golden State
Gerald Wallace, Charlotte
Dwight Howard, Orlando
James White, San Antonio
Amir Johnson, Detroit

Dwight Howard and J.R. Smith have already stated that they would like to be in the contest. Although I think both should be able to hold there own, I'm really hoping that there is a way to see a showdown between Celtics second year star Gerald Green and Spurs rookie and current D-Leaguer, James White. White probably won't be eligible to compete because he is currently in the D-League. But if you haven't seen Green in action, take a look at the videos below for confirmation on how sick this guy is. All I have to say is: windmills, through the legs, and two hand double clutch dunks...all from the free-throw line! (Credit to Shoals and the guys at freedarko for introducing me to this guy)
