LMAO i loved how the commentators were like "its superman" once they saw the cape and got so excited about the superman shirt lol that made me laugh no matter how awesome it was
This is SO one of my favorite slam dunk contests. (let's forget about the 2010 one) the commentators were THE BEST. and the dunks were fun and entertaining. man, i wish they were ALL like this. Dwight needs to come back for 2011.
Im really hoping the participants for next years next dunk contest are - Dwight Howard - Demar Derozan - Nate Robinson - Dwyane Wade Would be an amazing dunk contest since those 4 are outstanding dunkers
Dwight's best dunk was the 3rd one,the bounce off the board. The first one was the most difficult- behind the backboard rebound.The superman dunk had the most drama.But he threw the ball through not because he was too high(makes zero sense when you watch the replays),but because he could not reach the rim.
The reason why Dwight Howard won is that he's still in max height despite of the things he did in mid-air. The tendency when you do that is your elevation goes down, but Dwight reached insane heights. Green's and Jamario's dunks were performed before reaching the max height. Dwight performed them during max height.
Every one of dwight dunks were more fun to watch than green's, not just the superman one. He's simply got an edge. Both with his height and his showmanship.
true, but u gotta admit that it was cool and unexpected when u 1st saw it. plus its for fun, no one hangs there head in shame if they lose, so everybody gets something!
Gerald's cupcake and Dwight's 2009 (prior year) dunk is about similar, the height of the jump, and they got great score from it. Guess that explains why Nate won it 3 times.
to be honest i thought all of this dunking was pretty cool and real in the beginning but when the guy from timberwolves blew out the candle i was REALLY impress and by the time dwight howard did superman and etc...THIS IS INSANE!!! THERES A NEW QUALIFICATION LINE FOR DUNK CONTEST NOW
12th of February in Dallas. Shannon Brown (Lakers), Gerald Wallace (Bobcats) and Nate Robinson (Knicks) are in it. The last one is not decided yet but it'll probably be Demar DeRozan (Raptors). Check the NBA website for more insight. It's all there.

@9tailNARUTOYAHH Best nicknames currently. 5. Vince Carter-Vinsanity(Unofficial) 5. Josh Smith- J Smoove 4. Nate Robinson-Kryptonite 3. Kobe Bryant- Black Mamba 1A. Dwight Howard- Superman 1. Blake Griffon- Poster Child. Vince might not be good for a whole nother season, dosent live up to 1/2Man1/2Amazing anymore/ based on how good nickname is and how they live up to it. If Dirk had anything hed be up here probly And if Pierce average over 20 again cuz the Truth is still clutch.
Please bring back Vince Carter so he can destroy all these amateurs. None of them has the same dunking ability that Vince had. SLAM DUNK 2000' FOR LIFE!
I agree if you are in the slam dunk contest, u have to be practicing fresh unseen dunks, if u are not doing that and are only practicing old dunks, that isn't going to get you anywhere
The one where he threw it tapped it on backboard then dunked was so sweet cause watchin that live i had no idea that he had bounced it off backboard at first so I was like "Why is this so special?" Then they showed the replay and I promptly smacked myself for doubting dwight howard
Whethe or not it was a dunk, Dwight Howard's Superman dunk attempt was pretty amazing. He threw it hard enough to where it could have bounced out, but it went in anyway. Anyone who tries to duplicate it would fail.
@megaredman7 well Nate Robinson has to be in it since he won this year... im hoping.. Wade,Dwight, Lebron abd Nate.. that will be an amazing dunk contest
3.Remember when if your were the best athlete and/or all-around player u did contest to show of for fans. Well if wade dose it Lebron will at least be on court to throw an alley, so my dream would be Dwight-Superman/Dwayne-The Flash/Josh Smith-J Smoove(He spells it with a V cus he can ii) and Blake- The Poster Child.
I laughed my ass off when Kenny said "I quit my job"
This was one of the best dunk contests since they reinstated it in 2000. 2010 doesn't even hold a candle (pardon the pun) to the 2008 contest.
Kenny:
"Lets go home"
"I'M LEAVING THE BUILDING, I QUIT MY JOB"
Wanted to remind you ab this
2008 Slam Dunk contest competitors was the best I've seen since MJ.
kenny smith won the dunk contest for dwight howard
Lol. I really enjoyed hearing Kenny Smith's comments in that clip. It definitely cracks me up. Especially in that Superman bit.
gerald dunks were better.
***** yes they were Howard won only cause of his popularity with the superman dunk and btw that wasnt even a dunk
The Star yes of course,gerald should to win slam dunk conest but judges decide wrong.
totally howard did shit
@@willgehring8815 for me the best dunks are gerald green dunks:)
All y’all on that smack
the best slam dunk contest so far!!
way way better than the 09 dunk contest for me. every dunk was great
LOL Dwight is awesome.
"He's got the cape!"
"YOU WIN! YOU WIN YOUNG FELLAA!! SUPERMAAAANNNN!!!"
The announcer is so funny.
2008 was the best year for NBA
that was amazing, just thankyou for putting this video on youtube
LMAO i loved how the commentators were like "its superman" once they saw the cape and got so excited about the superman shirt lol that made me laugh no matter how awesome it was
I'm sorry, but the NBA dunk contest can't get better than this.
The cupcake one was probably the most original idea i've ever seen.
This is SO one of my favorite slam dunk contests. (let's forget about the 2010 one) the commentators were THE BEST. and the dunks were fun and entertaining. man, i wish they were ALL like this. Dwight needs to come back for 2011.
this was 1 of the best dunk contests i ever seen
im from england and im trying to watch as much as this as possible this guy number 12 is incredible
These guys are amazing!!
this was an awesome dunk contest because of Dwight Howard I wish that the
2010 dunk contest was as good as 2008 but it wasnt even close
Dwight did two dunks that night that most people had never seen. Behind the backboard and then the bounce/tap dunk were awesome.
There ya' go Dwight! you were awesome in that dunk contest , lets do it again!!
Dope Slam Dunk Contest ! I hope the 2K15 edition will be as great as the previous ones minus the circus stuff we saw the last couple of years
one of the highest quality dunk contest in recent memory
Im really hoping the participants for next years next dunk contest are
- Dwight Howard
- Demar Derozan
- Nate Robinson
- Dwyane Wade
Would be an amazing dunk contest since those 4 are outstanding dunkers
this was one of the most exciting dunk contests ever
best slam dunk of all time including 2011 just undeserved winner in 2011 but overall the dunks were crazy
Ever since this dunk contest Dwight Howard has been unstoppable. A complete and total monster.
This was the best Dunk Contest since 86.
dwight raised the bar.....every dunk he did...has never been seen before it was creative
Superman was superb! :-)
But this guy from Timberwolves with candle was the most crazy dunk I've ever seen :-D
Best dunk contest of recent memory.
"I'm leaving the building! I quit my job!" haha so funny
Daaaamn, the sound of Rudy's second dunk was MASSIVE!
POW!!! ... Man, what a powerhouse dunk
one of the best sd contest in resent years
Dwight's best dunk was the 3rd one,the bounce off the board. The first one was the most difficult- behind the backboard rebound.The superman dunk had the most drama.But he threw the ball through not because he was too high(makes zero sense when you watch the replays),but because he could not reach the rim.
This and Vince Carter. One of the best in 2000
best dunk contest of the decade
The best Slam Dunk Contest!
The reason why Dwight Howard won is that he's still in max height despite of the things he did in mid-air. The tendency when you do that is your elevation goes down, but Dwight reached insane heights. Green's and Jamario's dunks were performed before reaching the max height. Dwight performed them during max height.
2008 was the best dunk contest ever...
thanks a lot for posting this.
Beautiful way to make basket with excellent jump.
Every one of dwight dunks were more fun to watch than green's, not just the superman one. He's simply got an edge. Both with his height and his showmanship.
very impressive. the slow and normal camera view.
WOW!
true, but u gotta admit that it was cool and unexpected when u 1st saw it. plus its for fun, no one hangs there head in shame if they lose, so everybody gets something!
best dunk competion of the 2000's
Hahaha, 4:25-4:55 and 5:42-6:20 are frickin' hilarious! Kenny, Chuck, and Magic's commentary made me laugh so hard! XD!
dwight howard submitted a pantheon performance in this dunk contest every one of his dunks were special
Gerald's cupcake and Dwight's 2009 (prior year) dunk is about similar, the height of the jump, and they got great score from it. Guess that explains why Nate won it 3 times.
DH you are my favorite basketball player !!!!!!
to be honest i thought all of this dunking was pretty cool and real in the beginning but when the guy from timberwolves blew out the candle i was REALLY impress and by the time dwight howard did superman and etc...THIS IS INSANE!!! THERES A NEW QUALIFICATION LINE FOR DUNK CONTEST NOW
one of the top 5 all-time dunk contest performances by dwight here
my 2 fav dunk competition winners are spud webb and nate robinson :p
when vince carter won the dunkcontest, That was the best dunk contest
LOL I LOVE IT KENNY THE JET SMITH DOES THE DUCK CONTEST
12th of February in Dallas.
Shannon Brown (Lakers), Gerald Wallace (Bobcats) and Nate Robinson (Knicks) are in it. The last one is not decided yet but it'll probably be Demar DeRozan (Raptors).
Check the NBA website for more insight. It's all there.
The one @ 4:00 was very entertaining & on top of that the commentators was fascinating! B-ball @ it's best, Rock on!!!
at that time....yes....now nba players can do it with ease...look at j-rich, vc, dwight howard....they took it to another level
Best slam dunk contest since 2000 with VC.
All it took was that little peek at the Superman shirt and everyone lost it. Too funny.
.... We need Howard back for the 2013 dunk contest along with Nate, Green and LeBron.
Imagine the dunks we'd see O.O
Gerard Green's cupcake dunk outdid everything this year by a mile.
i cracked up when charles bust out laughing after the no shoes dunk!! 6:33 XD
dwights dunk where he taps it off the backboard had been done by demar derozan in the mcdonalds all american dunk contest in 2007
I agree totally, the NBA need to put some incentive to get the best in the league in the competition, like LeBron, Dwight, and Kobe.
Basketball sure runs a lot of contests. If you have a RUclips channel you can enter to win $1,000 shopping spree on the argstudio channel. But you must enter by April 1st 2010.
i'm tryin to forget the 2010 dunk contest but it was soo bad I can't forget it damn
Howard`s first was AMAZING!
What about 2002 and 2003? (or was it 2003 and 2004?) J-Rich did some sick stuff...
Kenny: "The kids? Man look at me?
Charles: "You got a brain like a kid."
this, MJ vs Nique and VC 2000 were the best ever
i wish this year contest was like that
Gerald Green got a sick vertical. Props to him too on this one
Great show by dwight. Not the best dunker ever but he had great ideas and deserved the victory.
1:56 i like dunks where u gotta see the replay to really get it, like this one and vince carter's arm in the net dunk
@navidnho hell yeah he always bring the color to color commentary, as long as the dunkers do something for him to do that.
best slam dunk contest in nba history
being high enough above the rim to literally throw the ball into the hoop is mad impressive!
Best dunk contest so far.
OMG that's amazing !!!
@9tailNARUTOYAHH Best nicknames currently. 5. Vince Carter-Vinsanity(Unofficial) 5. Josh Smith- J Smoove 4. Nate Robinson-Kryptonite 3. Kobe Bryant- Black Mamba 1A. Dwight Howard- Superman 1.

It's amazing because Green's dunks were pretty good
besides jordan and dominique, the 2000 contest, 06, 08 and 09 are the best
Please Dwight do the dunk contest again this year
Please bring back Vince Carter so he can destroy all these amateurs. None of them has the same dunking ability that Vince had.
SLAM DUNK 2000' FOR LIFE!
i would love to see someone do a front flip slam dunk!
I agree if you are in the slam dunk contest, u have to be practicing fresh unseen dunks, if u are not doing that and are only practicing old dunks, that isn't going to get you anywhere
right!? they're awesome! :)
The one where he threw it tapped it on backboard then dunked was so sweet cause watchin that live i had no idea that he had bounced it off backboard at first so I was like "Why is this so special?" Then they showed the replay and I promptly smacked myself for doubting dwight howard

honestly, his dunk contest dunks are crazy, but his in game dunks don't impress me as much
@megaredman7 well Nate Robinson has to be in it since he won this year... im hoping.. Wade,Dwight, Lebron abd Nate.. that will be an amazing dunk contest

@MrAznPillow the 2011 slamdunk contest is good too :)
@IanTheMontrealSkater
