The middle Plumlees tweeted that he's "Thrilled to be a #Dunker in the #SpriteSlam Dunk contest @NBAAllStar weekend! "

No doubt, but we wonder: why not invite Miles too?

Aside from our interest as Duke fans, Miles is probably the better leaper and having brothers  - would that be a first? - would be some free publicity.

Just a thought.

One other thought: You remember how we used to say that Mason was the best backwards dunker we'd ever seen?

Keep that in mind.
