    I want to give Larry a chance and the benefit of the doubt but I've seen nothing where he leads me to think he'll be creative enough to do well and win the dunk contest.

    Prove me wrong Larry, its going to be special regardless competing in LA and if he did win it would make history - First time father and son have won the dunk contest.

    How's Larry's sheer vertical vs these other guys? That never fails to impress at least some.

    Gordon withdrew...Nance now has a chance for third. :) Seriously, I want to see him win it.

    I'm moving closer to believing Nance has a chance. Because from what I've been hearing Nance has been planning for what he would do in a dunk contest for years now. ALready has his dunks picked out, and has been hearing how he's not creative enough (that's me).

    I'm hoping to be shut up big time. Nothing would make me grin/smile more too.

    10 boards in 16 minutes tonight. Larry put in serious work! Love him in that bench hustle role.

    ...keeps the second unit from being overwhelmed effort wise. We're establishing some cohesion as a group.

    I am genuinely sad to see Larry go. He joins his father's old team and leaves us before the Dunk Contest which is disappointing...

    Good luck out there Larry! I hope you have great success in Cleveland.

    With the emergence of Kuz, the settling of Randle, there was really going to be no room for Nance for the future, especially the way we were throwing him at small ball 5. Wasn't his position.

    Loved his consistent energy, and high IQ on the floor, but he was never really a talented player outside of his athleticism. Couldn't shoot from midrange, wasn't a good rebounder at 4/5, also, he was hurt quite frequently, though I wouldn't label him as injury prone.

    Good luck Larry.
