LeBron James now has second thoughts about participating in this year's dunk contest, saying he's "50-50" about taking part.
James felt last year's contest was too "watered down" and his participation might revive the weekend's signature event.
"I'm like 50-50 right now," he said Wednesday night before a game against Phoenix. "I don't know if you can get it back to the 80s and like in '98 when Vince (Carter) was in it. It was more about the dunks and less about what was going on around the dunks. We'll see what happens."
