"There's a good saying, 'Quit while you're ahead,' " Howard said. "I thought I did a great job at the dunk contest last year. I think everybody liked it. I don't want to mess that up."

Who would you guys like to see in the dunk contest?

I would like to see Nick Young enter. I don't know the process of who picks the participants though.

Hopefully Gerald Green enters, aswell as Rudy Gay

I don't blame him - too focused on the season maybe, and he's having an awesome year!

Can't think of anyone right off hand that I'd really like to see in it - Green was awesome before, and should probably go back.

I think as long as he is on a team, he'll be in the contest. I always enjoy watching him in it though, he'll come up with a great dunk every year

There aren't a lot of title defenses. To me is seems like every year there are all new faces. Very few repeats. Of course, my age might be affecting my memory.

Yeah last year,(I don't know if anyone remembers this) it was " The Birthday Cake " hahahaha.

Yeah, that was pretty cool. I liked the one he did the year before, where he wore the Dee Brown jersey and jumped over Nate Robinson and did the No Look Dunk. I think that was probably one of the better Dunk Contests in the last few years or so.

I can understand his reasoning - when you had a contest as good as his last year, it's hard to follow that up with a similar or better performance. I would like to see what some of the newer guys can do.

The thing about it is that a lot of players don't want to compete in it. How many people were hoping Kobe, and Vince Carter to compete again? And let's not forget people were hoping Lebron James would even enter

[gladdyontherise]

i'd like to see Andre Iguodala back in it!
