I have to say I agree with Lee on this one. Of the four players in the Slam Dunk contest this year, George seems to have the greatest potential to really put on a show.

I’m really not sure what to expect out of Chase Budinger or Jeremy Evans, as they really are not big

Berea in last year’s playoff sweep, which resulted in a five-game suspension that Bynum will begin serving on Christmas Day.
