Dwight “Superman” Howard, who got robbed last year in my opinion, took slam-dunking to a new height tonight. His Superman “dunk” was way better in rehearsal, but his other dunks were creative as hell. Obviously Gerald Green didn’t stand a chance, because Howard had plenty of momentum on his side. To be sure, Green’s cupcake dunk was phenomenal. Overall, this has to be one of the most entertaining slam dunk contests of our generation.

khal Says: February 17th, 2008 at 11:22 am lol you guys are funny. “he jumped from h ere” “it wasn’t a dunk” - did you see how he was damn near parallel to the hoop? what about his first dunk, from behind the backboard? or the one where he tipped the ball with one hand off the backboard then slammed it with the other? howard MURDERED the competition last night! green’s bday cake was an ill dunk, but it was his first an d best - howard was just TOO creative last night. |

Hip Hop made me do it Says: February 17th, 2008 at 1:04 pm By definition, it was not a dunk. You have to touch the rim and Dwight Howard did not do that. Was it creative? Yes it was and it was one of the best dunk contests in recent memory. I do agree that overall Dwight did deserve the slam dunk trophy. |

Rizoh Says: February 17th, 2008 at 1:16 pm It was supposed to be fun and creative. Howard had the most creative set of dunks, that’s why I voted for him. |

Rukus Says: February 17th, 2008 at 3:17 pm Examples of dunks not touching rim that I can remember: Trevor Ariza Vince (dunk near the end of the commercial) More Vince (watch his technique) If you can easily dunk…why hurt your fingers? Howard slaughtered them creatively with the exception of the Birthday cake which definitely should’ve been a last dunk. |
