Big Shaq, Shaquille O’Neal had a idea to help the people suffering in Haiti. The idea was to ask superstar players Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, Dwayne Wade and Lebron James to have a dunk off at the NBA All-Star Game coming up in Dallas.

What a great idea. Half of the money made from tickets etc would go to the victims in earthquake torn Haiti for which they need all the help they can get.

Here is the problem folks. THE PLAYERS SAID NO!!! What a damn shame. Would it kill Kobe and the rest to do this great contest? HELL NO!!!!!!

James has never been in the dunk contest. He said last year he would be in this years contest. Guess that was a lie.

MJ and “The Human Highlight Film” Wilkens where in the dunk contest back in the day. For James and Wade and the rest not to take part in this great idea from Shaq really bothers me.

It would be great for the fans and great ratings on TV. Heck they can make some more Kobe/James commercials from this contest.

These multi-millionaires cannot turn their backs on the fans. They should take up this idea from Shaq. Let’s have this contest!!! Then you wonder why the NBA has a image problem……….ummmm?
