Browse more photos »Indiana Pacers guard Paul George has been planning for the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk contest for quite some time so he already has a few dunks up his sleeve now that he's actually going to be a part of the show.
He's still looking for that signature dunk to put him over the top in the finals and overcome the Iman Shumpert/Jeremy Lin/Knicks triumvirate that will be tough to beat with fan voting in the mix. Of course, Lin may turn it over instead of connecting with Shumpert (sorry, softball sitting there).
After the announcement of his inclusion in the event, PG mentioned wanting to involve Larry Bird in some way although that would be a surprise. Eddie White had a great idea to play on his name and dunk over Ringo Starr while wearing a John Lennon t-shirt. John, Paul, George and Ringo, get it? I love that idea although I'd skip the t-shirt and have John Wall make the pass, that way you get John to Paul George over Ringo. The "Beatles Dunk" could take it's place alongside the "Hocus Pocus Dunk" and "Cupcake Dunk" for originality.
Do you have any great ideas for PG to utilize? Let's hear 'em. Also, don't forget to share them with PG since he is asking fans to send him tweets to @king24george with dunk ideas for the final round.
by denggoy7 on Feb 18, 2012 10:07 PM EST reply actions I?ve been hearing about the possible Larry Bird participation for sometime now. What?s his involvement anyway? Will PG jump over him? Will LB make an assist? LB shoots and misses from the 3 pt. range with PG getting the rebound from the free throw area and making a between the legs, behind the back, blindfolded windmill slam.

by FortWayneKarl on Feb 19, 2012 12:09 AM EST reply actions PG's got the smoothness curse Kid could drop a Vince Carter elbow in the rim eastbay funk dunk over Big Roy and he?ll make it look so easy people?ll just be pfftt, whatever. Really, really, looking forward to the high quality HD super slo-mos though.
