Chapter 254 A Narrow Road for Enemies

James faced more criticism for declining to participate in the dunk contest due to an unrecovered ankle injury than Yu Fei had imagined.

Moreover, the reasons the experts criticized James made Yu Fei unable to suppress a chuckle.

"If LeBron aims to surpass MJ, then participating in the dunk contest is something he should do."

Alright, everyone knows Jordan participated in a few slam dunk contests, but surpassing Jordan surely doesn't require a slam dunk contest championship, does it? It's not even a blip on Garnett's resume.

Instead of setting up pie-in-the-sky goals like surpassing Michael Jordan, it would be more practical to question why James can play in the All-Star Game but not in the dunk contest, or to offer some incentives from the League, like you'd feed fruits to monkeys at the zoo. NBA athletes entertain the public with their dunks, so naturally, there should be some sweeteners, like establishing a seven-figure prize for the champion.
