LeBron James has never entered the NBA's Slam Dunk contest although he in one of the league's most athletic players. The Miami Heat forward may want to rethink his stance against competing now that Magic Johnson has said he will put up $1 million if James participates.
“Please LeBron, get in the dunk contest. I’m going to put up a million dollars. A million dollars to LeBron. Please get in the dunk contest. I go every year. I want to see you out there. A million to the winner," Johnson said on ESPN Friday.
Currently the league pays $100,000 to the winner and $50,000 to the runner-up
Do you think LeBron will consider the million dollar offer?

50 Cent has accomplished so much as a rapper, actor, businessman and philanthropist people often wonder what's left for him to achieve. In 50's opinion there's a lot more.
He sits down with HYPETRAK TV to talk about what motivates him, his current business ventures which include G-Unit Records, SMS Audio, SMS Promotion, Street King energy, Cheetah Vision Films and more that don't require him to market them.
When 50 set out to create SMS Audio all he had was a 3-D rendering of what he wanted the headsets to look like, which he took with him to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) three years ago. From here he acquired KonoAudio to create what is now SMS Audio.
The company has shown steady growth since its inception. In January, Timbalandcame on board as an investment partner and member of the company’s board of directors. The headsets have now launched in 46 countries.
50 goes on to compare Get Rich or Die Tryin to Street King Immortal and talks about how music has changed from the beginning of his career into more of a hipster culture now. He thinks people will eventually start to miss the elements that created great hip hop.
"It turned into a fashion show for a little while," he says. "Where artists are writing about fashion. It's crazy, that was never really the core of the actual art. You had to offer different walks...different perspectives. Your album was supposed to be better than the other guy's album. That's why I do often got involved in battling that they call beefing. They changed the terminology to beefing after Biggie and Tupac, but these guys aren't Biggie and Tupac."
There's much more to the interview. Check it out below.

Billy "The Kid" Dib is defending his IBF featherweight title tonight against undefeated Evgeny Gradovich at the MGM Grand Foxwoods Resort in Mashantucket, CT. The fight will be televised live on ESPN's "Friday Night Fights" starting at 9P ET.
Dib fights under 50 Cent's SMS Promotions banner. The G-Unit mogul is working overtime getting Dib lots of exposure on various media outlets.
50 recently spoke with Fox 5 New York'sLisa Evers about the fight and how he initially heard about Dib.
"I'm aware of fighters because I travel so much," he said. "When I was in Australia, Billy is the one."
Dib, (35-1, 21 KO) is happy to be representing 50's boxing promotion company, and is ready to put on a good show tonight against Gradovich (15-0, 8 KO).
"He knows we're going to go out and do the business," Dib said. "We've got a great training team. We just have to go out and make sure we secure the victory for SMS Promotions."
As a former amateur boxer, 50 can handle himself in the ring. Evers asked him if there was an artist he would like to square off with.
"Flo Rida would be the toughest guy to fight because he trains that way. It would be real entertaining. We need to get pay per view going right now," 50 joked. "Let me call Flo Rida, let's see what we can do!"
