Does Sprite have the wrong slam dunk Buck?
Wrong white boy?
Check out the advertisement below for the Sprite "They dunk, you decide" campaign. Doesn't the picture appear to be of Bucks center Andrew Bogut and not the actual Buck participant, small forward Joe Alexander? Check out the little beard. Isn't that Bogut's? And the way he's reaching looks like patented Bogut. Maybe I'm crazy. I think they got the wrong white dude.
Edit: Eh, upon further review, I'm starting to think I'M WRONG. The Bucks "See Joe Dunk" site seems to have similar pictures to the one used by Sprite. I may have mistaken my white boys. That does look a bit like Bogut, though.

I don't have a clue what the polling is looking like or if China is behind Joe or whatever, but if his swagg is for real and he really wants to get in this thing, I'm guessing he's going to need something drastic like this: Put a video of your fifth-best dunk out there before any more time goes by. Throwing a paper ball into a cubicle is probably not going to get you there.
He's talking shit about how he's got all these ideas, so don't just touch your head on the rim, back it up boy. No one ever bounced the ball off the back of the backboard, reached around and dunked it, and no one ever slapped the ball off the backboard before slamming it, so if you say you can beat the man who brought all of that, you're an unknown so instead of telling you are going to have to show to be taken seriously.
I don't know if he's a player but I have to admit he can at least bounce up and around hard enough in a game on this level. But I fail to see how touching his head on the rim will make a compelling dunk, and if he has anything better than the tired under the leg thing it needs to get out there. I must be one of the 500 biggest Bucks fans at least, and I don't know, so who does know?

Yeah, I agree.
I would hate to be a participant in the dunk contest. Everything worth doing has been done to death, either at the NBA level or at one of those postseason NCAA dunk contests. Its hard to see where to go that isn't going to come off as a complete gimmick. Good luck Joe. Don't embarrass us! hahah
