If any of the participants in this year's Dunk contest drops out, Nate Robinson says he'll lobby for Terrence Williams to get a spot. Robinson, Gerald Wallace, Shannon Brown and the winner of a dunk-in between Eric Gordon and DeMar DeRozan will compete at All-Star Weekend next month. Robinson and TWill are both from Seattle and even before names were announced, Robinson said he wanted Williams.

I hope Terrence is in the dunk contest just so it gives us Nets fans something to cheer about.

nets will have a long week to rest in the all-star weekend
no net, i thought lopez was going to the all-star, is going to suit up in Dallas…
a shame but they can rest the injuries and get the basketball off their heads! and freshen up their minds.
so far
P.S terrence williams suck as much as sean williams, those 2 are the works picks taken by the Nets ever!!!
Nets suck

BLopez IS going to be in Dallas;
representing the Sophomores!
TWill Would get his Swollen head back, if he were in the Slam Dunk contest.
However, I still would like to see him go against DeRozan on Friday night to get into the contest.
TWill can do the “elbow in the rim” dunk.
One outcome if TWill was selected, is that it would make Kiki look like a jerk for not playing him more.

Hey lopez, and maybe lee and cdr might go to the rookie sophomore game..

@AC24
Hopefully if all 3 make the Soph team, we wont embarass ourselves and lose that too! And if I remember correctly the Soph team has had the considerable edge over the yrs.
If so, it would be blamed on the Nets aura.

Yi should participate in the dunk contest doing what he does best: _____________ (ya’ll can fill in the blank)

The main thing young players learn when they are losing is how to lose. It becomes a habit.

That would be the one Net bright spot of 2009-2010… make it happen Gerald Wallace’s ankle!

I have to admit – I have been the biggest Nets optimist for a long long time……But its getting very hard to keep watching this team. Guys just seem like they don’t care anymore. Simply going thru the motions for their paychecks…Hopefully I wake up tomorrow in a better mood.

T-Will is going through the motions right now…the dunk contest is the last thing he needs to be focused on

Lebron is suuuch a competitor huh? Backing out of the slam dunk contest because he’s afraid losing might affect his global icon image or what. Please, it would do nothing to him.

superb: you’re NOT excited to see Shannon Brown go at it? Or maybe DeMar DeRozan? Could be good!
by Gerard Himself on Jan 19, 2010 2:57 AM EST reply actions
How about TWill “napping on top of the rim” lol! I want to see him do that in that contest.

Like we really need TWIll focusing on something other than helping the NETS win games. He needs to commit to team play rather than get involved in one on one tournaments.

I think it could be good for him, to go out and remember that basketball is supposed to be FUN. Maybe get him motivated again… ahhhh who am I kidding.

All-Star weekend is a joke……..Players who should be there don’t get picked..The players don’t even play hard…It’s like a Big Party now…It used to be a great game….The Stars don’t want to be in the contests because they might lose and be frowned upon…..I wouldn’t doubt if Yi gets picked to add some International flair…..

If you dont like all star weekend you dont like basketball.

Maybe Yi could play a Frederic Weis type role in the slam dunk and let the guys take shots at going over him.
by Peter on Jan 19, 2010 12:38 PM EST reply actions
CAN TWILL EVEN DUNK THE BALL? ALL HE DOES IS TAKE JUMP SHOTS THAT HE MISSES 75% OF THE TIME!
by Kupalski on Jan 19, 2010 2:14 PM EST reply actions
They should do a Dunk Contest with Terrence Williams, DeMar DeRozan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Dwight Howard! The ratings would go THROUGH THE ROOF!

Remember when Kidd did the PG challenge thing. He did it, won and moved on. How many years do we have to watch the same guys and also-rans?
