own you...
It's a legitimate dunk
It's throw down
goddam howard is not a in spur, but he gonna have to pay that about 60 million
own you...
Discussed this with few of the guys at the gym today. They all loved the way it looked, they all think Dwight Howard is great and were all willing to look pass the fact that it was no dunk.
What is the dunk contest coming too. You dont' even have to dunk it anymore. Ladders, superman capes, cupcakes, toy backboard props....stupid.
Gerald Green's dunks were more impressive to me than Howards. Dwight howard just gets all the hype, you knew before they even started he was going to win.
Green needed to show more excitement after his dunks. He practically gave up.

You mean to say the dunk contest in the recent years? They were almost flat. Same old. Same old. When was the last time the crowd was "into it" in a dunk compe ion?
Ok, how was it that Green's dunks were more impressive than that of Howard's, outside of his Superman dunk?
I'm just syaing I thought they were more impressive, simply because Gerald Green is shorter, and his "no shoes" dunk didn't go over as well as I thought it would have. Not trying to take anything away frmo Howard, he is amazing, I just thought Green's dunks didn't get the credit they deserved, and personally I liked them better.
They weren't, take away the superman and replace it with something else and he still wins. People are forgetting he had 3 other dunks that were probably all better
That bull was not a dunk.
How any of you can say it's a dunk is just ridiculous.
I'm just waiting for DC Comics or WB to sue Howard and the NBA for copyright infingement.
After seeing the actual dunk, (I didn't watch any All-star weekend events, except DRob's), I can say that dunk was ing horrible. Way overrated.

howards dunk confirmed
Old news I already posted that in this thread. I thought it shouldn't recieve any of the accolades it is recieving. Wow, a 6-11 guy "DUNKED" from 3 feet past the FT line.Shows how much his vertical is. Also an arguement can be made by downward. Howards dunk was not straight downard, it was arced/slanted throwdown. Those defintions are vague as well, a shot in which the ball is propelled downward throught the basket? That is every shot.

there is also no definition that says you cannot be on top of a ladder when you dunk. It's common sense. and that was not a dunk
People will say I am anal about this, but WTF cares, it's a ign message board, I'm anal about everything.
But look at that, look how far away he is from the rim when he releases the ball, at best that is a tear drop on steriods. He was not reaching the rim on that attempt. On a side note, his behind the backboard and tip to himself while in the air dunks were pretty good and 1000X better than this.
it looked cool but also a clown coming out of a tiny firetruck looks cool, does not mean the clown should win the dunk contest.
It's just annoying that people can not read.
There were at least 10 definitions from all different sources and none of them (except wikipedia, which can be changed in a minute) mentions grabbing the rim.
Slam dunk contest is about doing something special and I don't know what can be more special than a dunk from 3 feet away of the basket.
do any of them mention that you cannot be on top of a ladder? Nope.
I can't believe all of the ing going on in this thread...over one dunk.
I hear the Birdie Man himself is coming back from suspension next season. Maybe he'll enter the Dunk Contest again. Give you something to really about.
Tell me something . . . when you dunk your dounguts into your coffee, do you throw your doughnuts into your coffee?
Just a question.
FYI, you are ing about ing
So who are they going to screw next year in order to give the contest to the rightful winner from this year? Maybe Andre Iguodala should enter next year to get the trophy he should have won a couple of years ago.
It's a vicious cycle, isn't it?
