Did he just oop off the back of the backboard?!?!
Published 2/13/2008 by chris at The Hoop and The Harm
... Yes……..Yes he did. I’m telling you that’s just his practice?! What’s he saving for the actual contest?! Dude wanted to raise the rim to 12 ft this year, but the NBA won’t let him. After last year’s sticker dunk, you have to think he’s gonna come back this year and explode. He was robbed by the judges and will definitely come back with a vengeance. Mark my words. Dwight Howard 2008 Slam Dunk Champion. Thanks to slamonline for the video Share This ...

... back on Tuesday.. something like "Jason Kidd for Zach Randolph". Trades really do move quickly in the NBA, so just because you haven't heard any reliable rumors about Zach Randolph or Eddy Curry getting moved... that doesn't mean it can't happen real quickly. ********* In case you didn't hear this already - the NBA denied (once again) Dwight Howard's request to move the rims up to 12-feet high for the Slam Dunk contest on Saturday night. Lame. Slam also has amazing footage up of Dwight Howard practicing some dunks for the contest: ...

Dwight Howard's Dunk Contest Sneak Preview

kcudah posted 2/12/2008 from sports.aol.com

Video link Dwight Howard 's in a tough spot. Like he says, because he's so tall, a lot of his dunks look easy. He has some impressive ones in this video, though, especially that last one. Yeah, Andre Iguodala did a version of it back in 2006, but Howard's height makes it harder for him to take off from behind the glass and complete the dunk without knocking himself out

The NBA has reached the All-Star Break, and as much as everyone is talking about what dunk Dwight Howard is gonna come up with on Saturday night, the only thing that’s really worth mentioning is the stretch run of the Western Conference, following this little three-day hiatus. With all due respect to the Celtics, who are the only NBA team with 40 wins at the break, the Association has ...

European Expansion: Coming Soon to the NBA?

Posted 2/14/2008 on MVN Outsider

Earlier today, I expressed my frustration about the NBA’s unwillingness to bend the rules a little for the upcoming dunk contest. The league’s stance didn’t make any sense to me…why wouldn’t they make an exception to the rules, and let Dwight Howard attempt a truly original dunk that could potentially add a little hype to the contest? Well, this latest news has ...

Fixing the slam dunk competition

For many, they couldn’t care less about the all-star weekend . However, for the players who make the team, it’s about a sense of pride .

Bragging rights just don’t hold their weight like they used to if ...

Dwight Howard and Jamario Moon went at it to get the Slam Dunk Championship but in the end Jamario Moon ended up with it. Some, like myself, feel that Dwight was robbed. He shoulda gotten way more points for the dunk where he put the sticker on the backboard. It is what it is though. Now it’s time for the 2008 contest and Dwight Howard wants your vote: Jamario Moon took it ...
