So I didn't actually get to watch the contest but of course I saw the winning Lay-up,I mean "dunk" no it was a fuckin sky hook. Say What????? I saw the still pics from all those other mofo's and they was skyin', Fucking dunk contests is always so unlegit. I didn't even see it and I know someone was robbed. Any good place to watch clips besides youtube?

dwight howard went fuckin nuts....

the kid is amazing....the superman dunk was hilarious,

best dunk was when dwight howard lobbed it up in the air, jumped, slapped the ball off the backboard and dunked it with his other hand....that and the behind the backboard shit....

i still can't get over howard wearing a superman t shirt and a red cape...

Nobody was robbed buddy. Dwight OWNED it from the beginning. The only other nice dunk was the birthday cake one. Honestly, I can't remember any of Gays or Moons dunks haha. Oh yea, Moon stepped like 2 feet in front of his tape haha.

Thanks homey^^^^
That cupcake was the shit! It's too bad he didn't connect on that superman dunk. That would've set it off for me. The behind the glass dunk was tops to. Dammit, why can't I afford cable?

i felt his dunks were creative but not exeptional..just the one from behind the backboard is worth some credit... it was a bit different, and thats not what slam dunk comp is about its about exeptional athleticism, like dudes that are 6 foot or less flying throught the air and dunking, or from the free throw line or kobe bryant and vince carter type shit not this cutty litte playing games stuff..dude blowing the cupcake out was stupid...lol
the dunk where he through the ball shouldnt have counted, the whole point of the dunk was to show how far he could dunk from and he didnt even go half way, lol..he did go high..but thats it..

dwight's superman dunk was sick. he threw it in though. but he was so high up in air. but the bounce off the floor tap it back in the backboard dunk was ill by dwight. good show none the less.

No one was robbed, Dwight earned that shit. Yea he didn't dunk the superman one, but damn, he practically looked down at the rim and threw it in hard and clean. The dunk comp is about athleticism, but it's also about who can get the crowd goin and jumpin out of their seats; Dwight did that. Green did some pretty fly dunks, but they weren't enough for people to forget about Dwight's dunks. Now if Green did a between the legs while blowing out the candle, that woulda been hot.

DH was the best. The one after the superman was the best. Didnt someone do that behind the backboard bounce thing a few years back. For some reason i wanna say A.Ig on philly?

Cant wait for tonight!!! Celts finally matter!!

Not as great of a competition as years before. No one can do the real superman like JORDAN can!

I believe it was Iggy and Vince that did the behind the backboard thing.

That foo Howard is madness

I think him throwing it down the rim was cooler than if he had slammed it

Both those dunks were stupid awesome

Vids of said dunk would be superfly^^^
I think the best contest I saw was Vince Carter doin' it up. Fresh and Athletic dunks. That being said, the one that cannot even be contested is Mr. Air himself and 'Nique.

he didnt go that high, you forget he is fucking huge, his nead never got near the rim, even when he touched the top of backboard its because he is so tall and long arms, his head was still about 4" under the rim,
so when he threw it in the rim its because he realized he didnt jump enough to reach it.. not because he thought it was a cool dunk..
Jordan and carter and kobe sometimes are the opnly ones whos heads could reach or go above the rim .
and they are shorter so its even more beautifull

1:00 mark. That's distance. That's how you do it.

Pippen with the distance, the only one to take off before the paint. Everyone else pretty much stepped over the line or passed it. Jordan's was just beautiful though, finesse.

This year was awesome. I just don't think starting with the Birthday Cake Dunk was the best choice, but i don't think he could of put a fight with Howard's sale pitch with the crowd either way. It was still great.

Dude. You are crazy. Did you see Gerald Green Saturday night?? Head above the rim EVERY time. Been doin it since high school.

And now that I think about it, I've never seen Kobe get THAT high.

02-19-2008, 01:02 PM
haha. oh shit, my Girlfriend typed that in last night after we got home from a night of drinking, she was making fun of me. But if it was '97 and it was kobe, then it was pretty fly, back when he first came in and hand that swing around dunk.

Yes i think i did, just yuesterday when someone posted the entire video.. it was very high..i was talking about dwight.
during all star game he got so hi...and bent backwards to get the ball that kevin threw for him..cant remember remember if his head went above the rim but that was athleticism
not shown in this video but it shows him doing from 1 foot behind the free throw line i think the rim was a little lower http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeeG1QxKrNE
and if you stil not convinced of the best dunks..then this one for sure will convince you!
