The 2008 NBA Dunk Contest Soars

Last night we saw creativity, showmanship and theatrics to last us for many years to come. When the smoke cleared, the biggest man in the competition, Dwight “Superman” Howard, emerged victorious.

Here’s a video review of the awesomeness that was All-Star Saturday night. Get your popcorn ready.
