In case you missed it, and you probably did, Dwight Howard won the Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday night in New Orleans. If you haven’t seen the highlights yet, you should check them out. Howard had a few amazing dunks, and Gerald Green blew out a candle on a cupcake sitting on the back of the rim as he dunked.
Unlike last year, when he wrote “Phil 4:16″ on a sticker he slapped on the backboard, Howard’s props did not involve any Bible references. Considering his dunks this year, I think that’s probably a good thing. With all due respect to Willie Aames, I’m not sure that a BibleMan costume would have gone over as well as the Man of Steel’s cape did.
(Is there any doubt that Howard will be referred to as ‘Superman’ from now on? You gotta wonder how Shaquille O’ Neal feels about that.)
Congrats to Dwight Howard. Somewhere, A.C. Green is spooning with his wife and applauding you.

I’m not generally a big fan of the NBA, but that was definitely entertaining. Especially when I could manage to block out the ridiculousness of the “commentators”. Also, even though the Superman dunk was insanely cool, it’s still not as amazing as MJ’s free throw line dunk.
