Post thoughts on who you think should have won the 2009 NBA All Star Weekend Sprite Slam Dunk Contest. I think Dwight Howard should have won but can understand why Nate Robinson did.

Its kind of a toss up a bit to me.

The first round Dwight didn't deserve a 50 on his first dunk. But Nate didn't deserve a 50 in the second...and if he got one for stepping on his teammate then he really didn't deserve it.

And Rudy got cheated. So I actually think it should of been Dwight vs Rudy. And Probably Dwight would win.

I can't say since I didn't watch it. I would say LBJ.. xD
Just him saying he's gonna be in the Dunk Contest next year was a great moment.

Dwight. But I give Nate some credit for jumping over a 7'0 footer.

If Nate Robinson went with an original uniform, jumped over Dwight Howard (who is 6'11'' and the defending dunk champion), then it's a well deserved win. Plus, remember that Nate is 5'9'' ...

...Also, Howard's Superman dunk last year was cool, but he shouldn't have won. It wasn't even a dunk; he threw the ball through the hoop.

If Dwight did a windmill slam on the 12 feet basket he would of won automatically.

Dunk Contest 2008 - Dwight Howard


It's a overrated dunk neutral


He was so high over the rim (possibly too far away as well) that he was able to throw it in we've seen guys do that in game before over someone. But why I liked it was because if you imagine Superman Dunking a ball he'd be flying in the air and throwing it through the hoop. And it was just about entertainment to me thats what got him the win. If someone had even came close to his creativity then I could see being a bit of a stickler.

Yeah, true, it was probably the most creative and entertaining. That's why he won.

On a bit of a random note its odd to me. Shaq seems to enjoy Dwight Howard when hes doing the Dunk contest superman act. But then in a conference with the media he'll say "he stole it all from me" and all that. I thought he was being sarcastic at first.

That whole Shaq vs. Howard vs. Van Gundy crap last week was annoying.
