Jordan, Nique, and Erving gave him 8's for it...Vince and Kobe gave him a 9. It should have been no doubt a 50, the dunk was crazy and the fact they used props made it very funny. They had the sticker with Dwight's cheesy smile, a freaking tape measurer to measure it, and a sign saying how high it was so they sold it well afterwards.

Dwight's windmill got a 43, but his sticker dunk only got a 42...wack:?

He got robbed man thats all there is to it.. That shoulda been a 50 easily..That was better than all of Nate's dunks combined.. but I guess what Kenny Smith said is true, they always favor tha smaller guys

I honestly can't understand why he was in the dunk contest in the first place. I mean, he's 6'10, isn't he? I thought from the very beginning that he'd get screwed over, considering just how tall he is, and I was right.

Only thing I can be thankful for is that Nate Robinson didn't win the dunk contest this year. IMO, he didn't even deserve it last year, but that can't be helped.

It was especially creative how he got his face on the sticker too, I thought Howard deserved a 10 for that dunk.

I can't believe that judges gave him 8s for that. I mean that was way better than that same old Nate's dunks... This is one of the reasons why we hate the dunk contest...

I think he should have advanced. Howard's jump was immense, but probably like the judges, I didn't understand what he was trying to do until I saw them measuring how high the sticker was.

hops dont count for points, you cant win because of your natural athletic abillity

all he did was a regular dunk, but he smacked teh backboard, if i was 7 feet and had the body of a wild animal i could

do that too, the dunk itself wasnt anything impressive. Now if he jumped up, quickly drew a happy face on there,

then i would be impressed.

The thing is not that many people who are 7 feet can do that either.... Amare, Josh Smith, and then basically no one else can come in the vicinity of touching that high. There are legendary stories of Earl "the Goat" Manigault and Wilt Chamberlain pulling quarters off the top of the backboard, and Dwight does a feat just as impressive as that while catching an alley-oop and dunking at the same time...that's not impressive? Nate taking 10 attempts to do a dunk we saw last year isn't exactly my idea of impressive either.

robbed

ok?

ok what

you cant give someone a 50 just because his body+athletic abillity allows him to jump 14 feet. I agree it probably deserved a 45 or so, but the commentators really made it out to be more than it was. The judges felt this way as well.

So you can't give MJ a 50 for just doing a one hand dunk from the free throw line rite:roll: You can't give him a 50 just because his body and athletic ability allows him to dunk from 15 feet out:roll:

dont you get what im saying though? does anyone?

the actual DUNK wasnt impressive at all, sure he put a sticker there with his other hand, points for creativity. had he not put the sticker there, he would have got a bunch of 7's. remember right after the dunk, everyones like what the hell was that? thats your dunk? OHHHH he put a STICKER there, now its a good dunk. fraid not my friend.

There was only one 50 given out that whole night. im not arguing that it wasnt a GOOD dunk, i was under the impression that the 43 or whatever he got for it wasnt high enough.

You're looking at his dunk the wrong way. Unlike any of Nate's dunks, that one done by Howard was creative whether you like it or not.

All I know is the finals would of been a lot more entertaining had Howard made it instead of Nate.

ESPN: Howard's sticker slam wins buzz but not contest

Twelve and a half feet is very high.

I walked down on the court after the dunk contest and looked up at the custom sticker Dwight Howard had stuck way up there. It was a little dizzying. Not to be gushy, but it was way up there. I suspect that if I stood on Dwight Howard's shoulders, I still wouldn't be able to even reach it. And I'd be scared to be up there.

I peered up at that sticker. Unfathomable, but apparently real -- as the whole thing was on international TV and exceedingly well documented. All the same, I urge you to look up at the top of the backboard from down below some time. Imagine a sticker a few inches shy of the top, and wonder: Could a human put that up there? Without divine intervention?

Yes.

Or no.

A photographer with a telephoto lens helped me get a good look at that sticker, and in addition to a pre-printed image of Howard's face, his initials, and his number, there was handwritten marker. Not too big. In fact, even with the lens it was very tough to read.

In this life, you always have to read the fine print. And the fine print on that sticker made clear that Howard, at least, doesn't believe he did it alone.

"All things through Christ" Howard had written in marker. Then "Phil 4:13." That's Philippians 4:13.

Asked about it, Howard recited in a heartbeat: "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

Strengtheneth indeed.

Remember, Dwight Howard's Plan A for this contest was to dunk on a 12-foot rim, but the league nixed the idea earlier in the week. So Howard needed an inventive way to demonstrate his singular advantage: combining his height, his reach, and his hops to get a hand up higher than anybody else.

It was so inventive that at first plenty of people here in the arena couldn't even understand it. This was an idea from Mars, or Lovetron, or wherever it is the good dunks come from. It stretched the mind. For a few seconds, nobody knew exactly what happened. He put a sticker up there? He had a sticker? In his hand? What?

ESPN.com contributor David Thorpe of Scouts Inc. text-messaged me seconds after it happened: "I hate dunk contests," he wrote. "But that was the coolest dunk I've ever seen."

Who can disagree?

No one I have talked to, except, apparently, the judges. Howard got a measly 42, the second-lowest score of any dunk in the first round. Julius Erving and Michael Jordan both gave it an 8. I don't know what criteria they were judging by, but whatever it was, I say inventiveness was undervalued.

Hats off to 2007 Slam-Dunk champ Gerald Green, a worthy champion, but a year from now that sticker dunk is the one we're all going to remember.

Word.
