J.R. Smith to replace Rudy Gay in Dunk Contest

[AKA Coastal]

Update..

J.R. Smith of the Denver Nuggets has been selected to replace injured Rudy Gay (left hip flexor strain) of the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2009 Sprite Slam Dunk contest to be held on Saturday, Feb. 16 at US Airways Center in Phoenix. Smith previously participated in the 2005 Sprite Slam Dunk contest.

That's a good choice, although I wanted to see Joe Alexander in it.

Since my original pick to win it was Rudy Gay, I'll pick J.R. Smith just because he's Gay's replacement.

Meh, I wanted Westbrook, Alexander, or Igoudala.

Not a bad tradeoff, Smith has mad hops.

 

[Kutzy]

Iggy!

He has won more slam dunk competitions than Nate Robinson.
