Paul George Throws Down Epic 360 Windmill Dunk Against Clippers; Will Not Be in All-Star Dunk Contest

Paul George is one of the hottest players in the league and on one of the hottest teams in the league. He will not, however, be in the dunk contest during All-Star Weekend. So perhaps in order to make up for it he decided to throw down a dunk that would have definitely gotten the crowd pumped during the contest.

He's not skipping it (as well as the 3-point contest) just because; he's got a pretty good reason. With the way the voting is going he is shaping up to be a starter for the all-star game so he doesn't want to wear himself out.

Makes sense. Lots of guys will be taking advantage of the layoff to recharge their batteries for the stretch run. No need to take on too much and deplete his.

[If you watch this at work or if there is anyone sleeping nearby (and you want them to continue sleeping) turn your volume down just a little.]
