Magic center Dwight Howard isn't sure whether or not he'll participate in this February's slam-dunk contest, but coach Stan Van Gundy isn't losing sleep over it.

"I was happy for him that he won it [last year]," Van Gundy said. "Other than that, I have virtually no interest in the slam-dunk contest or any of those other foolish contests. I like it when he dunks in games, but the rest of that stuff's a sideshow."
