The Sticker Dunk
Despite the low score from the olympic style judging (it scored 42), Dwight Howard put together what I considered the best dunk of the night. Jameer Nelson flips the ball up to Howard who slaps the backboard waaay high up and throws it down. Nothing special, right? The camera focuses high on the backboard and there's a sticker with Howard's face on it. Nelson whips out a tape measure, they both marvel the height and Nelson holds up a sign with 12'6" on it. Good times.
Granted Gerald Green had more explosive dunks, but The Sticker Dunk had everything: athleticism, power and showmanship. The judges should have given him at least a 48! Did we really need to see Nate Robinson (and another year of 10 plus attempts) advance to the finals? Anyway, here's photos of The Sticker Dunk, you be the judge:
Dwightey was robbed!!

amen to that too. The sticker dunk was mind-bogglingly awesome.
I think Dwight's only weakness was that his dunk was so off-the-charts that no one knew quite what to make of it. He should've tried to sell it better, perhaps announcing beforehand what he was gonna do it. I don't know. Maybe a little theatrics with Jameer Nelson daring him to do it, who knows.
Gotta love his grinning face on the sticker too. Historical & hysterical dunk.
I'd give a 50 to the Bobcats dancer on the last pic too

the sticker dunk was nothing but the use of one's height . no artistry , no innonativeness. maybe, if dwight had use a sticker showing anna nicole , the judges might have graded the dunk better !

Put the DNA test results on the sticker and you're guaranteed a 50!

Dwight howard was completly robbed from getting a perfect 50.He basically climbed the ladder that most 7 footers can't even imagine.He's definitely the product of hard work and I would have given him a 50

Dwight "Dunkadelic-Beast" Howard will get a chance to makeup for his lost last year in the Slam Dunk Contest. He needs to come up with something more powerful and creative to win. Larry Nance the 1st and only player 6'10 or taller who has won the Slam Dunk contest back in 1984 the 1st year of the contest.
