Why doesnt Lebron participate in the slam dunk?

[Snowman]

does anybody know why? is it in his endorsement contracts a clause he cant particpate. or is it his own choosing.

every year i see him enjoyin himself on all star saturday. he's got that look like he wants to do it.. but never does.

you cant tell me growin up watchin all the great's in the dunk contests, that he told himself when i get in the NBA i wanna be in the dunk contests.

give the dunk contest another year or two. it will get stale again and the league will ask him to play, to keep the contest alive.

i know everybody on here has talked of a Carter, Richardson, James, and who ever else in a contest

if theres not a real reason that just shows that he cant dunk for shit

Jordan made his career on the jam; now James tries to make his career in spite of it. Shortly after entering the league, James was lobbied hard by one of his sponsors, Sprite, to enter the dunk contest, but he declined. "I just felt like I was in the NBA to showcase my talent and all phases of my game," James says.

i was talking with a friend of mine at work. and we came to an agreement that Lebron is scared to participate. he would go out there and fuck everything up.

LeBron could only lose. You know. Vince was part of the Contest once. He won it, the pressure was on him but he won. But I understand why he didn't try 2 defend his title, you can only lose! Same goes with James, I dunno, he could only lose and has nothing 2 win in a dunkin contest cause everybody expects him to win it.
