Incorporating hundreds of objects, documents and photographs collected by the National Museum, this exhibition chronicles 130 years of Japanese American history, beginning with the early days of the Issei pioneers through the World War II incarceration to the present.

Griffin will match up with TNT analyst and two-time Slam Dunk participant (1990, 1991) Kenny Smith; Jennings will practice with NBA Legend Darryl Dawkins; McGee will work with NBA TV/TNT analyst and five-time NBA All-Star Chris Webber; and Ibaka will prepare with Thunder teammate and 2009-10 NBA scoring champion Kevin Durant. Each episode also will feature a “dunk selection ceremony” where the participants will choose which dunks they want to keep and which they decide to send to “the bench.” Fans will be able to keep up with the latest development in the series, which will tip off tomorrow and will run through the week of the event, by viewing the latest weekly episodes at NBA.com/Dunk.

As part of the NBA and Sprite’s continuing efforts to bring fans closer to the Sprite Slam Dunk, each of the four participants will be featured in a special online video series that will give fans an inside look at their preparations for the event. The series, “Sprite Slam Dunk: Countdown to the Contest,” will feature each participant matched up with a dunk coach who will work with his respective player to create and practice some of the electrifying dunks that will take place during the event in Los Angeles.

To get a taste what fans have in store for them, here is a video clip depicting some of Blake Griffin’s best dunks so far in his short career. Bearing in mind that there have only been a few months to his first season, the are high hopes to see much more great things from this young talent. of course, you don’t have to wait for the All Star game to see Blake Griffin live and in action. The Los Angeles Clippers call the Staples Center here in Downtown Los Angeles there home and you can catch them whenever you are in town.
