It’s the one thing I don’t think we’ll ever see LeBron do, but Dwyane Wade has been pressuring Bron Bron to participate in the 2013 All-Star dunk and 3 point contest that takes place Feb. 15-17th in Houston.
Wade hasn’t given up though and is pushing Lebron to try it – even adding that Wade will participate with him.  Check out what LeBron’s response was…

According to Brian Windhorst at ESPN.com:

Wade, who has input on whom the NBA selects to take part in the popular events, tried to get James to re-consider his long-standing policy of saying no to the slam dunk contest, which will take place Feb. 16.

“I tried to convince LeBron,” Wade said Friday before the Heat took on the Indiana Pacers.

“On the dunk contest?” James said when Wade asked him. “Oh no, that’s out.”

“I told him I’d throw him a lob and we’ll win,” Wade said. “He turned me down; I think he got nervous.”

Wade also tried to get James to consider taking part in the 3-point shootout for the first time. James is shooting a career-high 40 percent from 3-point range this season.

“I went 0-for-2,” Wade said. “He said he didn’t want to shoot.”

When asked Friday, though, James said he hadn’t ruled out the 3-point contest. Wade said former Marquette teammate and New York Knicks forward Steve Novak would be in the contest and that current Heat teammate Ray Allen would not be so Allen could have the time off.
