Dwight Howard...D12...Manchild. 6'11'' 265 lbs of raw athleticism. He's averaging a double double on the season and he is only 22. And not a 10 point, 10 rebound double double either. Howard is averaging 21.7 points, 14.6 boards, and 2.4 blocks per game. In the words of Sir Charles, "that's ridiculous". The Slam Dunk Contest is all about entertainment. Jamario Moon's first dunk was pretty sick and it's a shame he didn't get full arm extension. Gerald Green can get up. The candle dunk hilarious. I wasn't very high on the shoeless dunk - if i was 6'8'' and black I could do that too. No problem.
Dwight Howard's first dunk was nasty. Off the back of the backboard, windmill, and slamming it in with his left hand wit his head behind the basket. Sick dirty. His second dunk, where he taps it off of the backboard with his left hand and slams it was even better. He just makes it look so easy. And about his most memorable dunk, or "layup", it was great. It doesn't even matter that he didn't make physical contact with the rim...he was inches away. Howard threw the ball down with authority. He also took off from about 11 feet away from the rim and the top of head was above the rim. The prep for the dunk was also quality, he had the crowd laughing and made it a performance. It was an instant classic and it's impossible NOT to like it.

The Superman dunk was his third best of the evening, it was an overall dominant performance. Gerald Green's candle dunk was sick too, and Jamario moon almost had a cool one, but Dwight was a force.
