Interesting article I found today about Dwight Howard and the Slam Dunk Contest:

Howard's Camp Pushing For Dunk Contest Slot20th January, 2007 - 11:49 amFlorida Today -
Dwight Howard's representatives are lobbying hard for the Magic center to appear in the Slam Dunk Contest at the NBA All-Star Game.

Said Howard: "If it happens, it happens and I'll be excited. I've got to come up with some good stuff. I just hope I have my legs that day."

Howard can literally kiss the rim and then dunk two basketballs.

The 14 players selected -- seven each from the Eastern and Western Conferences -- were chosen by the 30 NBA head coaches, who were asked to vote for seven players in their respective conferences -- two guards, two forwards, one center and two players regardless of position. They were not permitted to vote for players from their own team.

Anthony snubbed when All-Star reserves announced



NEW YORK -- One bad night may have overshadowed all the good Carmelo Anthony has done this season.

The NBA's leading scorer was not among the seven reserves announced Thursday night for the Western Conference team that will play in the NBA All-Star Game.

Denver teammate Allen Iverson was chosen, extending his streak of All-Star appearances to eight. He started the last seven games while playing for Philadelphia. Anthony, who is averaging 31.3 points but missed 15 games while suspended for his role in the brawl at Madison Square Garden, was the most obvious omission.
