LeBron might be the most possible and most explosive player to join the contest, which can make this 2014 NBA All-Star weekend the most exciting if this would happen.

Nike, on the other hand, released a commercial where you could see LeBron joining a dunk contest. But it is not the NBA All-Star Weekend. Maybe this is how close we could see him dunk? We would never know.
Kevin Durant has also been joining the petition saying he would really love to see the Miami Heat star surprise everyone in the dunk contest.
