What a Dunk Contest! Creativity, Originality, Competitiveness… It was all on full display last night.
A Few Notes:
-Dwight Howard redefined what big man should be able to do… He’s 6’10 with athletic ability that is simply off the charts. Howard gave people the “What’s next?” feeling, which hasn’t been felt since 2000, Vince Carter.
- Rudy Gay’s second dunk when he caught the lob from behind the basket would’ve actually been cool, had it not been for Dwight Howard’s monster first dunk. Not such a great showing Rudy.
- Despite getting so much height on the superman dunk, Dwight Howard forgot to move toward the basket, hence the reason that he was forced to throw the ball in. Following the dunk, everyone had the expression on their face of “What just happened?”
- Gerald Green blowing out the cupcake was so impressive, but it needed replay for people to understand what actually happened.
- Not that I’m talking from experience, but the final Gerald Green jam in which he dunks the ball after going between his legs, without sneakers on, didn’t get near the credit it deserved.

As I was watching Dwight the "Flight" put on a performance on par with Vince, it got me thinking. Why doesn't he average 30 and 20 a game?
There has NEVER been a combination of Power, Size, and Athleticism quite like him EVER...
I don't know why there are talks about shelving the Dunk Contest. It is the greatest all-star event along with the Home Run Derby..

Agree with the note on Gerald Greens last dunk. That aint easy.Too bad people gave the title to Dwight before Green got a chance.
What just happened? Ill tell you what happened he did not dunk it. My man was two feet away from the rim. I got love for him tho!
