Knicks Forward, Steve Novak, and Guard, James White, could join teammates Carmelo Anothony and Tyson Chandler in Houston, TX for All-Star weekend. Novak who is known as a 3-point specialist hopes to be picked to compete in the shootout. White hopes to participate in the Dunk contest claiming that he has big things planned.

Steve Novak is having another great season from behind the arc, shooting 45%. This is just about his career average with just over half the season left to play. Novak thinks he has a good chance of competing in the shootout because former Marquette teammate Dwyane Wade is the captain for the East. Wade has already recommended Novak as a participant for the shootout.

James White, who is in his first year with Knicks, and is known for explosive dunking ability, thinks that he can win the dunk contest. His teammates believe that he is one of the best dunkers that people don’t know about. This wouldn’t be White’s first appearance in a dunk contest, in 2009 he participated in the D-League dunk contest and won it on the following dunks.

Hard to deny that both Novak and White have the skills to win their respective competitions if chosen. The Knicks could potentially end All-Star weekend with a roster that includes the 3-point shootout, and dunk contest champions. Along with All-Stars Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler. That is quite a roster to head into the second half of the season with.
