Dwight Howard is amazing. That off the backboard before taking off then bouncing it off the backboard with the left hand then dunking it with his right is sheerly insane. As is his last dunk.

Man, I cannot WAIT for Saturday!
Hello ladies. Look at your posts. Now back to mine. Now back at your posts now back to MINE. Sadly, they aren't mine. But if your posts started using Optimismâ„¢, they could sound like mine. This post is now diamonds.

Great personality by Dwight but if it comes down to one last dunk between Dwight and Jamario, it's over for Dwight. That is, if Jamario can pull off his last preview dunk.

from that angle it looked like his whole head was over but i'd say his head was about 4-5 inches over the rim which is freakish

No it isn't. That's freakish for a man under 240 pounds and even though Dwight is 6-11 he's managing to pull 275 way over the rim. The man is a super freak.

Lol. Never been excited for the dunk contest since VC and T-Mac were in it. It should be a good contest.

But watch the judges screw a contestant again, its been happening for the last couple years.

I have always loved Howard. He should have been a Hawk. You know he'd love playing in the ATL. :D
