Kobe wants James in Dunk Contest

“Responsibility? No,” Bryant said following the Lakers’ shootaround. “People want to see it, so it’s good to do it at least one time in your career. It’s fun.”

“I think he would come in a close second behind Shannon Brown,” he said.

47 games to go

Coming in the new year, the Raptors is on a roll winning 7 of last 10 games with Jarrett Jack handling the starting point.

As of today, we are only 1.5 game out of the 5th place in the playoff race. It won't be a question whether we will make the playoff this year if we keep playing at this level. Hopefully we can finish 5th (or even 4th?) in the East so that we can avoid facing the Celtics, Cavs or Magic in the first round.
