Dwight Howard + dunking = awesome

Dwight Howard placing a sticker on the backboard during last year's dunk contest was an instant classic. No disrespect to Gerald Green, but Howard got robbed. Howard has worked too hard perfecting his showcase for that to happen again, though. Don't believe me? Too bad. I've got video proof.

In addition to Howard and Green, Jamario Moon and Rudy Gay are also up in the mix. Gay flies high and lobbied on YouTube for some pretty sick dunk ideas. Still, I've gotta go with #12 aka D12 aka Thunder aka Dwight Howard aka the soon-to-be-crowned champion of the 2008 NBA Slam Dunk contest.

Howard is straight money! I also think he'll win, but can he rank in the top 10 of all-time? Check out these nasty dunks from slam-dunk-contest history. Siiiiiiiiiiick.


Kiss the rim!


Thunder is gonna put the rest of the competition on Mac Blast, no doubt!

I'm a Grizzlies fan so I gotta go with Rudy Gay. Dwight's practice dunks are pretty sick, though. He seems like a cool dude. I especially like his point about not hanging on the rim. It just calls attention to how tall he is. Not good in the eyes of the judges. Then again, it's not like his height is a mystery. I can't wait for Saturday night. The dunk contest may be better than even the game itself.

Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!

If they aren't going to let Howard raise the rim to 12 or 13 feet, then he should troll Kenny George out there and dunk over him.

That would be sick. I can't wait to see what Dwight Howard has up his sleeve.

I feel that. Dwight is good. I gotta say, though, that Rudy Gay might be better. Or maybe I'm just buying into all that YouTube hype. But all of 'em should be nice. Even Jamario. I see everyone wants to hate on Jamario but dude's got game.

That guy looks a little slow if ya know what I mean.

Too bad Kobe's not in the competition. He would crush 'em all. But since he's too high, mighty and important for a dunk competition, I'll put my money on Dwight Howard. Big men get no respect in the dunk competition, but D12 is going to change that this weekend.

Fly high!

Howard doesn't even use a basketball here and I'd still give him a score of 50 on this attempt.

50? I'd give him 55! Bonus points for being N-A-S-T-Y!

Are you kidding me? That would be CLASSIC! But, he'd have to dunk the ball first, then kiss the rim on his way down

1) Dwight Howard
2) Rudy Gay
3) Gerald Green

Sorry, Jamario. Someone has to be #4.

1) Rudy
2) Dwight
3) Gerald

Sorry, Jamario!

It's all about the O.G. -- M.J. -- best ever!


Nice Ghostface soundtrack on that Jordan video. That's the O.G. right there... Mr. GFK aka Mr. Ghost! Face! Killah! I'd like to see a Dwight Howard video with a Wu soundtrack.

Yeah, Dwight's sick but Jordan is the original and can't nobody mess with that.

I'd like to see Monta Ellis with that group. Little dude has crazy ups.

Monta is out of control this year. He can get up, you're right.

I gotta go with Rudy Gay 'cause he's a Baltimore guy.

LBJ could kill 'em all. King James is unstoppable.

his dunks are all the same, he has no creativity imo (go see the mcdonalds all american dunk contest)

I wish 'Melo was in the mix. But since he's not I'm gonna go for Dwight Howard b/c you gotta respect a guy who can KISS THE RIM. That is sick. Too bad they won't let him up that rim to 14 feet or whatever. He could do it. Ten is too easy for him. But you can't hold that against him. That ain't right.

i wished monta was in it too, but yall are fools for counting out jamario (especially putting gerald green over him) but ill be back here on sunday/monday and see what yall say then.

damn him!!! :(
