My man-crush on Dwight Howard is now off the charts.
He has made this dunk contest what its now supposed to be. At a time where we’ve seen a lot of the dunks before… Howard dropped 4 brand new dunks. He had the hype…. he had the props… and I’ll even give him a pass on the Superman dunk that wasn’t really a dunk (he threw it through). Why am I ...
2008 Slam Dunk Contest: Dwight Howard Superman Dunk [Video]
sportfiends.com 2/17/2008 — Normally I’m not a fan of Superman at all. I’m more of a Batman kinda guy myself but I’ll make an exception in this case. Dwight Howard’s performance as Superman will go down as one of the most creative dunks in Slam Dunk championship history and it was sick. It locked him in as the Slam Dunk Champion.
The Sonics Have Left The Building… Or Want To
with-malice.com 2/18/2008 — With the dunk of Superman Dwight Howard as a diversion (and I had to wonder what the league’s previously self-appointed Superman, Shaquille O’Neal thought of that one), David Stern quietly announced that the Sonics leaving Seattle is just as inevitable as Howard’s jam.

All-Star game fallout actually seems … positive
wearethepostmen.com 2/18/2008 — If 2008’s NBA All-Star festivities will be remembered for anything, it will likely be Gerald Green’s birthday cake dunk, or Dwight Howard’s leaping, soaring Superman routine, even if Howard’s had two dunks that were far more ...
Flying is Hard Work
myespn.go.com 2/19/2008 — Dwight Howard made a few jokes about his dunk contest preparation. It was a little funny. But it was not light-hearted. A year ago, after losing, he was clearly down -- the victim of a misunderstood, and under-appreciated sticker dunk. So he ...

Dwight Howard Meant to Throw the Ball Down During the Superman Dunk
sports.aol.com 2/20/2008 — There has been all sorts of clamberings-on about whether or not Dwight Howard 's "Superman" dunk actually counted as a dunk or not. He did, after all, literally throw the ball through the hoop and never actually touch the rim. And to some, that has ...

By Bethlehem Shoals
I came away from All-Star Weekend with two gripping question: What was the deeper meaning of Gerald Green's shoeless dunk, and why didn't Dwight Howard actually dunk on his Superman routine? We'll probably never know the answer to the first one, but Matt Watson asked Big Dwight about the most famous semi-dunk in history:
Watson: "I've got to ask, you didn't ...

Those who are now saying that Dwight Howard is the greatest dunker of all-time have no idea what they are talking about. Sure, he had a great tip dunk in an all-star game competition (I wasn't all that impressed with the Superman dunk), but watch these 10 in-game dunks by Vince Carter and tell me if you think Dwight Howard is a better dunker.

I’ve really been trying to work some Soulja Boy Tell’em lyrics into my posts.

Technically, it wasn’t even a slam dunk, but whatever. It was entertaining, nonetheless. Gerald Green’s ...

Although Rip didn’t do so hot in the 3 Point Shoot Out and Team Detroit couldn’t repeat in the Shooting Stars comp, all was not lost if you’re a basketball fan on All-Star Saturday.

Dwight Howard saves sports: He really IS Superman . Howard put on the second-best dunk contest performance ever in the post-Jordan era. (He's behind Vince Carter... but you could make a case Howard was even more impressive, given his 6-10 frame -- say this: no "big man" has ever done what Howard did, dunk-wise). Kelvin Sampson punches back , leads Indiana to 19-point rout of Michigan State ...
