We live in an era where not jumping to contest a dunk is encouraged. That's pathetic. It is the softest thing in sports at the moment. I'm sick of it. Keep in mind, I stopped playing competitive basketball in 7th grade, and never actually was in a situation where I had to jump to stop a dunk, but I equate this similar to grounding out to short in baseball and not running the play out. At the same time, hypothetically, let's say the freight train that is LeBron James is storming at you, he cocks back his right arm and is about to pulverize the rim, but you ever-so valiantly leap up to stop the dunk and in doing so you get yammmmeeddddd on. Worst case is it's an and-1. Chances are you're leaving the arena with an extremely candid photo of you and the King. Sounds good to me.
