They want to then take them to the Sprite 2010 Slam Dunk Showdown, which would be sick! This contest would definitely be fun to watch, because let's all face it, the Dunk Contest has kind of been struggling the past few years from an excitement point of view. They definitely needed to do something to change it up, so I am glad they came up with this. What's crazy is that my buddies and I were talking about this same thing literally two weeks ago. We were at my place ...

There is a Silver Lining
Roundball Mining Company - Denver Nuggets Blog — For those of you who are really down about the Denver Nuggets losing Linas Kleiza to Olympiakos (I hate having to spell words that look wrong when they are right) I have come to share with you the really hard to see silver lining.

Frantic people were screaming that he was the only player who cared about defense and the Nuggets were going to give ...
