24-year-old Maywood born Shannon Brown is all set to compete in the 2010 Sprite Slam Dunk event. The reserve guard from Los Angeles Lakers 6-foot-3 giant Shannon Brown is deservingly hoping to be among the contestants for Feb 13 competition.

There’s every possibility that American professional NBA would be a prospect entry into the aforementioned competition since there was an announcement on Monday regarding the issue. Besides, on the Facebook there were hundreds of thousands of participating fans that strongly supported Shannon Brown to be inducted as a contender.

Once while talking about his teammate’s leaping ability, the Los Angeles’ shooting guard Kobe Bean Bryant acknowledged his abilities for Shannon Brown and stated there wouldn’t be a better player than Shannon Brown. Finally, the moment seems to have arrived and an amazing moral fan-support has proved worth it.

Shannon Brown who joined the Lakers on a two-year accord worth $4.2-million while he alongside Adam Morrison, was traded in against Vladimir Radmanovic, considered it appropriate to thank his fans for their social-media support that made the authorities to think about him. With reference to Lakers scheduled visit to White House, Shannon stated that on Jan 25, he would talk to the U.S. President to seek his guideline.

Special about Shannon Brown is the unique vertical leaps of the tall man and he holds the record of as high as 44.5 inches leaps being the league’s highest ever. At the American Lines Centre in the famous Dallas All-Star weekend, there would be Nate Robinson (of New York Knicks) and Gerald Wallace (from Charlotte Bobcats) joining Shannon Brown on 13th of February, 2010.

The fate of fourth participant would be decided from among DeMar DeRozan and Eric Gordon the Toronto forward and Clippers’ guard, respectively. This would take place a day before the competition is held. Since 1997 when Bryant the then rookie participated and won the competition, Shannon is the only player selected for the same.
