Nick Young's Dunk Campaign Takes Flight

by Jake Whitacre on Nov 19, 2007 10:36 PM EST in Silly Stuff

We know that Nick Young can throw it down, prompting the start of a campaign that is ongoing. Now it's time to get serious about it. We all need to get behind this effort to get Nick Young in the Slam Dunk Contest. If we can get Gilbert voted into the All-Star starting line-up, and then get him the Best Celebrity Blogger Award, surely we can get someone with a 44 inch vertical jump into the slam dunk contest. Just to show how serious this is, I've put my crappy photoshop skills to work to whip up this campaign poster:

If anyone wants to improve on that, by all means go for it, any and all help to get Nick into the contest is appreciated. We're going to make this happen folks, just you watch. After all, this campaign is much more worthwhile than some others out there.

UPDATE: Michael Lee with a sweet feature on the Youngster.

Love the poster.

I agree, he NEEDS to be in the dunk contest.

Also, I'd like to announce my campaign to give all of Roger Mason's minutes to Nick Young NOW.

Antoine Walker for the All star game? Is that a joke?

Nick Young does need to be in the dunk contest. I would like to see Rudy Gay too.

Young's role needs to be 10-20 minutes off the bench as a scorer on the second unit. Its perfect for his skill set. If Vinnie Johnson was the microwave, can Nick's nickname be the toaster oven or the Foreman Grill?

What? They don't have TV in the D-League? Don't watch me, watch TV.

'Toine for All-Star Game

Let's hope it's only a joke. If you're familiar with the Vote for Rory movement, it's like that only far less organized, ambitious, popular, or likely to happen.

...I hope.
