NYC (AP) a Magic Johnson is giving LeBron James a million reasons to consider the slam dunk contest. The Hall of Famer says Friday all through ESPN's pregame show that he will set up $1 million if James ultimately enters the marquee event of All-Star Saturday evening. James has always refused to enter the competition, but he's already been gaining a show before Miami's games, reigniting interest in seeing him take part. Jackson says: "Please LeBron, enter the dunk contest. I am likely to set up a million pounds. A million dollars to LeBron. Please get in the dunk contest. I go annually. I do want to help you on the market. A million to the winner." The NBA currently gives $100,000 to the champion and $50,000 to the runner-up.
