Carter Says No to Shaq's Dunk Contest Idea

Filed under: Magic, NBA All-Star Game

"No. Dwight (Howard) can do it,'' Carter said after Wednesday morning's practice. "Nobody should feel obligated to do anything they don't want to do.''



Carter, once one of the league's most acrobatic players, won the contest in 2000.
