The dunk contest is all about creativity, athleticism and nowadays props. This year’s dunk contest features James White of the New York Knicks, Eric Bledsoe of the Los Angeles Clippers, Terrance Ross of the Toronto Raptors, Gerald Green of the Indiana Pacers, Kenneth Faried of the Denver Nuggets and defending champion Jeremy Evans of the Utah Jazz. Faried isn’t exactly the favorite to win this year so he has something special in mind. Read more after the jump.
Per the Denver Post: “It’s not really a big issue right now,’ Faried said. ‘I’m more worried about games than I am about dunks. That’s all I’m focused on. We’ve got these road games, that’s more important than my dunk contest. I want to win these road games, and I’ll get my focus on that when I get to All-Star.’
However, there has been talk he was planning a bowling ball dunk of some sort. Faried acknowledged that, but said ‘I thought about that, but I haven’t practiced it or anything. I really don’t know if I’m going to do it or not. I don’t want to end up injured from a dunk contest.’”
