LBJ & DRAKE TO JUDGE DUNK CONTEST?!
02/11/2010

LeBron James may be adverse to taking part in dunk contests, but he apparently doesn't mind juding them.

Having whimped out of this year's NBA event (after previously promising to compete), it's emerged that the reigning MVP will be a judge at the amateur Sprite Slam Dunk Contest, along with Darryl Dawkings....and Drake.

Yes, Drake...the rapper.

Hmmm.

Anyway, the contest will be streamed live on NBA.com at 2am UK time tomorrow (Friday) night.

Four dunkers are competing for the $10,000 prize money - and the chance to present the trophy to the winner of the REAL dunk contest the following night. They are:

Willie Barnes a.k.a. Flyte Barnes | 6' 6" | 28 years old

Taurian Fontenette a.k.a. Air Up There | 6' 2" | 27 years old

Haneef Munir a.k.a. Young Hollywood | 5' 10" 21 years old

Carlos Smothers a.k.a. Los Smothers | 6' 0" | 21



Too bad Guy Dupuy's visa issues mean he can't go back to the States. I reckon he'd give these guys a serious run for that money.

Finally...back to Drake...I am loving this spoof of his "Forever" tune.
