Damn, people REALLY wanna see this guy in the dunk contest! These pregame dunks are getting people hyped! Now he’s even getting offered money from … Magic Johnson!!! And it’s A LOT of money!!! LeBron has repeatedly said he’s not going to do it, do you think this will help convince him?! I doubt it.
Check out what Magic is now offering Bron Bron to get him to enter the dunk contest…
Via ESPN:
Magic Johnson on Friday said he wants to see James take part in the annual contest so badly that he offered to give $1 million to James — or anyone who can beat him.
“Please, LeBron, get in the dunk contest. I’m going to put up a million dollars,” Johnson said on ESPN’s Kia NBA Countdown. “A million dollars from Magic to LeBron. Please get in the dunk contest. I go every year. I want to see you out there. A million to the winner.”
The NBA currently pays $100,000 to the winner and $50,000 to the runner-up.
James always has declined to take part in the annual contest, but he has been throwing down trophy-worthy dunks lately in pregame warm-ups.
Jalen Rose called for more elite players to take part, as well.
“LeBron James, Blake Griffin both have to be in it,” Rose said on the show, and Johnson agreed. “All-Star-caliber players helping build the league during All-Star weekend.”
