Dwight Howard's SUPERMAN!
Odenized — Odenized.com original video on YouTube Dwight Howard's SUPERMAN! Check out the rest of the 2008 NBA Slam Dunk Contest Part 02, from Odenized.

Facials
East of Boston — I missed the Daytona, although Gabby and Melissa enjoyed the Aquarium.  The dunk contest was one in a million, though. I enjoyed it totally, as did the worn-out Gabby and Lissa (who conked out on the couch halfway thru). Now... I realize that two articles in one weekend about guys jumping up and down may be a lot to ask of my readers, but this was a whole bunch of fun. Famous dunks of the past include Dr. J taking off from the free throw line (a 12 foot running long  jump that requires one to be 10 feet in the air at the 12 foot mark, playground legend Helicopter grabbing  a quarter off the top of the ...

Moon Got Robbed
Hoops Addict — I hate to be the buzz kill because everyone’s stoked about how the dunk contest played out last night, but I can’t get this bad taste out of my mouth. It’s driving me nuts that everyone is congratulating Dwight Howard on winning the dunk contest when the real winner should have been Jamario Moon. In fact, I’m still steamed that Moon didn’t make it to the finals and Gerald Green stole his place but that’s a whole other rant I won’t get into right now. Everyone is loving the Superman Dunk but it’s nothing compared to Moon’s final dunk. Some will argue that Moon didn’t take off from beyond the tape marking, but Dwight didn’t take ...

You're Right, the Dunk Contest DOES SUCK
Deceptively Quick — Just kidding. I won't get too into it again, but I think the evidence that the dunk contest is alive and thriving is pretty clear. I'd like to think this would quiet all the odd All Star Hate, but I'm not sure anything will. I wouldn't be surprised to hear them couch this as an anomaly. At least All Star Hating got a little harder.

Dwight Howard makes All-Star weekend Super
Grind It Out Sports — By: Justin Jacobs I’ll be the first to admit that the NBA Dunk Contest has stunk the last couple of years.  It felt like we had gotten to a point where we had seen just about everything.  Especially after the year when Vince Carter put on that air show back in 2000.  However, as a creature of habit I grabbed a beer on ...

The 2008 NBA Dunk Contest Soars
mindritesports.com 2/17/2008 — 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. The last big man to have the same explosiveness and hops as Howard used to be my personal favorite player in the league, Shawn Kemp, before drugs, alcohol and baby mommas took over his life.

NBA Dunk ContestBleacher Report
As I sat watching the 2008 Slam Dunk Contest i expected another average and overrated contest. It turned out to be the exact opposite of that. Dwight Howard turned out to be the eventual winner and also had the best dunk by far. He took the ball, hit it off of the back of the hoop and did a 360 while almost hitting his head and dunked it. It is a very hard dunk to describe, watch it for ...

By Sam Rubenstein Flashy lights, drunk people, superstars walking among us. But it’s not all fun and games.

2008 Slam Dunk Contest: Dwight Howard Superman Dunk [Video]Hail Mary Jane

Check it: The crazy thing is he didn’t ...
