Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T) is to halt production at itsJapanese plants for 11 days in February and March as a sharpslide in U.S. The NBA Dunk Contest has lost its "swagger" since Vince Carter owned the show in 2000. Since then, it has been a show merely to entertain the crowd until the All-Star Game itself.That isn't to say the NBA doesn't have good dunking talent, they just fail to choose the right dunkers for the contest.Michael Jordan, Spud Webb, Vince Carter, Dr. J and Dominique Wilkins truly defined the dunk contest back in the day and the NBA needs to realize that the contest has lost its flare.I am here to tell you what dunkers should be in the Dunk Contest this year and why 1. Lebron James Cleveland CavaliersHe's all about the show and I can't deny that. At times it appears Lebron will do anything for attention, but the man can dunk.He is arguably the most thunderous dunker in the league and has the physique to do just about anything.

Lebron said last year during All-Star festivities he would like to be a part of this year's dunk contest and I hope if given the opportunity to, he accepts.For the NBA, it will draw a big crowd because of his popularity and he is truly a gifted athlete and dunker 2. Andre Iguodala Philadelphia 76ersIguadala always seems to find himself on SportsCenter at least once a week for a jaw-dropping dunk.Iggy placed second behind Nate Robinson in the 2006 Contest in Denver and should definitely be given another chance this season.The thing I find most appealing about Iguodala's dunks are his ability to finish in traffic. Shannon Brown Los Angeles LakersThe 6-foot-4 Brown has really hit the spotlight this year with his energetic drives to the hoop. Shannon only averages 17 minutes per game but has had several highlight jams this season.He has one of the highest vertical leaps in the league at 44.5 inches, and should be given his first chance to compete in the contest this season.Again, like both Iguodala and Lebron he is very muscular and throws down some authoritative jams.He has had a rough road to the NBA and has been on five teams in four years. It would be a good story to see him given the chance to showcase his hops 4. Jamario Moon Cleveland CavaliersAfter being traded to Miami and then Cleveland, Moon is quickly becoming the NBA's alley-oop king.

He often refers to the times his spot on the team relied on his dunking. He had to catch every alley and throw it down or he would be cut.Jamario placed third in the 2008 Dunk Contest in which Gerald Green blew out a cupcake, and Dwight Howard put on a cape and threw the ball in the hoop.As a Moon fan and blogger, I was extremely disappointed to see him finish third when it looked like he had the most creative dunks. I heard that if Moon had progressed to the next round his next dunk would have been the most creative dunk ever.Moon was supposed to start on the end of the baseline and throw down a windmill, then immediately catch an alley-oop and then put down a tomahawk all in one leap. But like Shannon Brown, he had a very tough road to the NBA which included somewhere around 15 stops before reaching an NBA team Obviously, I am hoping to see a "Full Moon" come February.

It has been a while since I have written anything for Bleacher Report; let’s hope college has benefited my writing. The Tigers have long been looking to get younger, and cheaper, and Granderson and Placido Polanco were the casualties of a tight budget. Polanco was an extraordinary second baseman and I am sad to see him leave but he was a bit too expensive for the new cost-conscious Tigers. General manager Dave Dombrowski declined to offer him arbitration and Polanco received an $18 million contract with the Phillies. I wish him only the best, and thank him for his services to the club. In his stead in 2010 will be the highly touted prospect, Scott Sizemore.
