Three-quarters of the NBA Slam Dunk Contest field has been set, and the confirmed are familiar faces: reigning champ Dwight Howard, former champ Nate Robinson and underwhelming 2008 competitor Rudy Gay. For the fourth slot, the league is holding a fan vote between three rookies: Joe Alexander, Russell Westbrook and Rudy Fernandez. There is no way Rudy loses this, between his rabid Portland base and the legions of devoted Spanish fans who will pump the vote. And while Joe was born with moon shoes on and Westbrook could be the best point guard dunker in a decade, I'm not mad at a Rudy candidacy. Howard, I suspect, might be.
Hello, it would be great for Rudy to be in the slam dunk contest field, it woulb be as a award for him and another impulse for his career. Regards, http://saqueneutral.blogspot.com/ (a blog about sport in English and EspaƱol)

But don't forget, Joe Alexander has the China vote on his side. Never count out the China vote.

Joe Alexander will show why he is the greatest dunker to come along since Wilt Chamberlin. He is so exciting and creative, and what a stud !!
