The Sprite NBA Slam Dunk Contest competitors were recently announced and for some reason or another, people seem to be grumbling about the lack of A-listers.
Instead of former competitors like Dwight Howard and Andre Iguodala, fans will get to watch the following: Chase Budinger of the Houston Rockets, Paul George of the Indiana Pacers, Jeremy Evans of the Utah Jazz (replacing Iman Shumpert of the New York Knicks) and Derrick Williams of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
People are so dissatisfied with this grouping that one fan in particular has taken his case to YouTube and is begging Miami Heat star LeBron James to take part in the contest.
To the haters and those wanting more A-listers, I have one thing to say: WHY????
The Slam Dunk Contest, in recent years, has been a forum for both top players and unknowns to showcase their skills in going above the rim and this year, it just seems to be the unknowns' turn.  On top of that, I won't lie in saying that I find James' dunking abilities both one-sided and boring.
Thus, here are 10 NBA stars, LeBron included, we should be happy aren't taking part in this year's Slam Dunk Contest.

It seems like you did not put your PERSONAL FEELINGS aside for Lebron James!!!! First of all he gets a lot more than 1 or 2 dunks a game!!! Second he does it backwards with one hand and a lot of other awesome ways that make the whole crowd go nuts!!!! Third, he is one of the top 2 players in the NBA. I think you should watch some Heat games before you do your false commenting!!!! He should DEFINITELY be in the dunk contest!!! NOw how about putting those personal feelings aside FOR REAL!!!!
