did dwight howard get robbed in the slam dunk contest?

Answer 1

No his first dunk was pretty basic and he failed to sell his second dunk

Answer 2

Dwight Howard did not get robbed what he got was about right he is 7 foot tall his dunk was original but he should be able to stick a sticky on the back board that is why Jordan gave him a low score and Nate should not have been allowed to keep missing his dunks it reminded me of skateboarding when these none athletes could not make there jumps it slowed down the compilation what a shame I love the dunk composition Vince Carter is the best dunker that has ever lived be for I saw all the dunks of all time I thought Dominic Wilkinson was

Answer 3

The dunk contest has sucked the past couple of years. Why does it have to be the "rising stars" dunk contest. They should have LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Amare Stoudamire, Vince Carter, Dwight Howard, and a couple others. Now that would be a dunk contest. I think people have just ran out of ideas, or they've become too stupid to get some good ones.

Answer 4

exactly yes and no 50/50. dwight howard sorta got robbed bacuz he put that sticker up on the backboard on like 12 feet and 6 inches and its almost impossible for a Pf/C to jump that high except for nique. but then again, it was really corny compared to the other dunks the green and robinson did. no comparison to robinson and howard. if nate gets a 45, howards gonna get a 37.

Answer 5

Yes and no. Its tough for a big guy to make his dunks look creative and exciting. Don't get me wrong, his sticker dunk was amazing because of the height he got to - but watching that dunk first off, I just shook my head and couldn't believe he did a dunk like that, until I saw the replay ... D12's first dunk seemed way too easy for him and he didn't sell it that well, he should have been jumping around trying to get the crowd into it like Lil Nate. I think he just needed to do some dunks that were all power and add a bit of flair and emphasis to them and maybe he would have taken the crown?

Answer 6

Thank You!! I thought I was the only one. If you ever sit down and watch ESPN's Best Dunks Ever show with clips of Dominique, MJ, Spud Webb, and the likes..you'll know what a REAL dunk is. Dwight's over-dramatic lay up was not worth 50 points. that lil' Superman outfit made him look long and awkward and that's what the points were about more than the "dunk" itself..

Answer 7

gerald green, hands down, was the best dunker that night. although i think howard should've got a higher score on his sticker dunk for creativity, nate robinson had a better pair of dunks compared to howard's. howard's height was a disadvantage to him. if he pulled off a more impressive first dunk, maybe he would have been in the finals.

Answer 8

12 feet is nothing for a 6'10'' man. he can reach his arm up and touch the rim without standing on his toes. no biggie. if someone 6'5'' or under gets that high, that's something. joe dumars used to be able to jump that high, but never dunked in a game ever. just layed it in. green had the best dunks. nate's were okay, but waiting for him to make it is like waiting for a 60 year old to get it up. it takes time, but finally gets there. green sold his dunks the best. that dee brown stuff was killer.

Answer 9

YES! His dunk was amazing! He put that sticker on the backboard 12 feet and 6 inches up. Thats like him dunking on a 12 foot basketball net and thats insane. It was original and the first time its ever been attempted. He should have gotten at least a 47.

Answer 10

without a doubt. his dunk where he put up a sticker at 12 feet, that was the most original dunk all night. the judges just didnt see the sticker in time and put up 8's, then it was too late. dwight howard shouldve won that thing, although the guy from boston (cant remember his name) did great.
