From the leader in relevant, substantive news – TMZ – comes this inside information about the upcoming dunk contest:

TMZ spoke with Toronto Raptors star DeMar DeRozan who told us he will definitely be using elements from “Thriller” when he throws down in Dallas on Saturday night.

Just as an aside, only TMZ would refer to DeMar DeRozan as a “star.”  I guess when you report anytime Heidi Montag takes a shit, some NBA news could seem sort of glamorous.

Anyhow, I wonder just what DeRozan has in store for us.  I’m not getting my hopes up, though, since the dunk contest has been lame for years.  Nate Robinson has won twice, right?  Well, at least once, and I honestly couldn’t tell you one dunk he did aside from jumping over Dwight Howard.  And that was gimmicky and dumb anyway.  So unless DeRozan spares us a moonwalk and instead starts fondling little boys before dunking, I won’t be impressed.  A full body skin bleaching just prior to a windmill would also be acceptable.
