This season’s NBA Slam Dunk Contest during the All-Star Break looks to be as forgettable and irrelevant as ever.  Not surprisingly, Lebron James won’t be dunking this year.

A year ago, on All-Star Weekend, James said: “Right now I’m preliminarily putting my name in the 2010 contest Saturday night. LeBron James is saying in 2010, in Dallas Stadium, [preliminarily] he will compete.”

But his name was conspicuously missing when the list of participants (Robinson, Gerald Wallace, Shannon Brown and the winner of a dunk-in between Eric Gordon and DeMar DeRozan) was announced Monday.

I really hope that no one is surprised to see James’ name missing from the list of participants this season.  Did anyone actually think he’d live up to his word?  Chalk it up to yet another bitch move by Lebron; he’s starting to create quite a list.  From storming off the court without shaking hands with anyone after losing to Orlando in the Eastern Conference Finals, to having Nike confiscate video of him being dunked on, to dancing on the court like a fool during play while his Cavs were blowing out the Bulls, to announcing he’d participate in the dunk contest only to back out, I think it’s safe to say we can continue to be disappointed by Lebron’s behavior in the future.

Great, great player, but a total bitch.

And I’ve said it before – if he doesn’t sign with Miami and play with Wade, he’s never winning a championship.
