I've never seen the tap off the glass with the off hand and then dunk before. I've seen some variations of the others, and I doubt he goes old school and does the Jordan from the free throw line, new blood requires new dunks. And I totally agree that the kiss the rim dunk will be the show stopper, It is his signature dunk.

Those dunks were impressive. He has a shot at winning it.

If Dwight is not in a Vitamin Water commercial soon, I will be disappointed.

I think he should do the behind the backboard dunk first, see what that gets him. If he needs a HUGE score, he has to decide whether the judges will be more impressed by his kiss the rim dunk or the tap off the backboard (which I think is really sick).

But he definitely needs to use the kiss the rim dunk, even if it means using it early to ensure getting into the finals.

if Dwight's been rejected to raise the ring, i think he should just use a prop, and use another ring with suction cups that can stick to the backboard 2 feet above the standard ring. he can do his dunk on that, sending it through the other hoop below to make it count, and for effect, rip the top one off at the same time!!!

That'd be a great idea!

I really hope he does that kiss the rim dunk

That, the left handed tip dunk and that last dunk should win it for him
