Last night was full of great dunks from some of the best leapers in the game (except LeBron James for some reason). Despite the obvious talent, two men stole the show, Dwight Howard and Nate Robinson. These two showed off some of the craziest dunks ever, including Dwight Howard replicating the infamous Dr. J/Michael Jordan free throw line take-off slam. However, Howard only managed to take off with one foot inside the freethrow line. I know, completely unimpressive right? However, in my opinon that wasn't even one of the top two dunks of the night. The from the 5'7" Nate Robinson came when he jumped over the 6'11" Dwight Howard and threw it down. And for Howard, his best of the night came when he rolled out a 12 foot hoop, donned the Superman cape, and dunked it with seemingful ease. I think he could have gone to 14 and done a 360, but maybe that's for next year. When it came down to the voting, 52% of people all aound the world (including me) voted for Nate Robinson. KryptoNATE won the contest over Superman. Have an opinion on the result? Tell us what you think in the poll on the sidebar.

Wow! What a show! Thanks for sharing! I've always been amazed by these moves. I've seen some with a trampoline, flips and dunks at the end. Dangerous, but impressive!
Though basketball isn't one of my strongest interests, the dunks you've described do seem pretty impressive. One of my friends is on track for high jump and could easily jump over me, and yet there are others our age who can jump even higher. I just find the height that we can lift ourselves off the ground incredible. Now question, is it easier for taller people to jump higher, considering they'll weigh more but have more spring, or shorter people, who weigh less but also have less spring?
