Yeah, that was an excellent competition. Green wasn't getting enough credit for his dunks because everyone was cheering for Howard. That being said, Howard won the thing in pretty amazing fashion.

Hopefully more stars participate next year.

Best I've ever seen. All of those dunks by Howard were amazing, especially considering he got all (maybe all but one) of them on the first try. The Superman slam as well as the tip off the backboard were executed perfectly.

And at least this time, the person who won deserved. 2 years ago, Andre Iguodala got ****ing robbed. Nate Robinson was the worst in the competition.

technically, the superman "dunk" wasn't a dunk

his hand didn't even reach the rim!

When I first saw it, I thought he dunked it just because of the sound generated by the force of his throw. Incredible showmanship. Glad Dwight won.

Howard's best dunk was his first. Also, Green got mad disrespect when everyone acted like the between-the-legs-in-socks was nothing impressive. That was the toughest dunk of the night and should have gotten 10's across the board. It was much more impressive than Howard's final dunk.



Anyways, I'm glad Howard won to become the first 7-footer to win it, but Green put on a great show as well.

I'm pretty disappointed. Moon was being a cocky bastard and guaranteeing a win... yet he doesn't make it into round 2. Why does everyone tape the foul line? That just lowers their possible score if they don't jump from it. Oh and that Green no shoes dunk might have been impressive if he did a different dunk.. The previous round he did the exact same dunk except with shoes.

Howard deserved to win, glad he won it this time.

Dwight Howard was awesome, no doubt about it. BUT, his superman dunk wasn't a dunk...It was wildly entertaining, but it wasn't a dunk. But, the three others he did were spectacular.

He jumped high enough to just throw the ball into the basket. Impressive for a big man. And he did it on his first try! But yes, it wasn't a dunk. Most entertaining part of the dunk contest for me, though. I enjoyed it when Green blew out the candle too, though (and kept the cupcake on the dead-zone of the rim!).

SD does not have to be Slam-Dunk to be a Super-Dunk apparently LOL.

It wasn't a dunk, but it certainly was the highlight of the night. It's as creative as anything that's been done up until now.
