The Sticker Dunk Controversy

[84655132]

type "short guy dunks" in the youtube search box to see a 5'5 guy dunking a 10ft hoop

[bballislife7987]

forget dwight howard he robbed gerald green and jr smith of the dunk contest

[mrQ3ST]

Dwight Howard for President!!

[dsmdeegen]

He did not jump 12' 6".

Subtract his tall ass and see how high it really is...

Basketball, football, baseball, fail fail fail

Over paid dumb ass so called athletes.

[mcMane24]

@dsmdeegen

very true but it's very impressive nonetheless I mean most guys his height are not as athletic to be able to jump that high and btw who are athletes in your opinion

[dsmdeegen]

@mcMane24 Jeb Corliss, wing suit master, Travis Pastrana, Eric and Ben Bostrom, Michael Schumacher, Mike Tyson, Travis Rice, Shawn White, Shane McConkey. I could go on and on...look up any of those bad ass's and tell me they are not more talented then almost any ball player. It pisses me off that such a conventional sport makes guys so much money. When there are far more talented people out there in the world which make WAY less. Michael Jordan is a basketball exception....

[mcMane24]

@dsmdeegen

I have to agree with the ones you named but I don't think you play basketball because if you did you would know that what these players do is really hard every basic move they execute is done in an explosive matter which no average person can duplicate therefore they are athletes (jumping 40 inches ex) they are WAY overpayed though

[DBZparodier]

the dunk is technically impressive but only if you know a lot of math and pay super close attention. most people don't watch the dunk contest and think "wow his shorts are 54 inches off the ground and he has to generate 800 lbs of force", you watch it and think how cool it LOOKED. from the TV angle it looks just like a regular dunk, it loses its effect when you have to hold a ruler and a sign. Dwight missed the point in 07 so he got what he deserved. much better in 08 though

[tennisisall]

its a SLAM DUNK contest!!! not a HOW HIGH ON THE BACKBOARD CAN YOU TOUCH contest!!!! he got the score he deserved

[reepermaple]

@tennisisall it includes style too, and this dude poured it.

[Andre2Castino]

Did he died?

[japjapi]

i dunno why every one thinks this dunk deserves a 10. .come on now,, ne 1 heard the story of lebron in training? 1st season at cavs man jumped so high he could easy touch the backboard, some team players were thinking he would break his ankle on the way down.

Slam dunk contest means IN AIR TRICKS

[Milkman23]

no, James White can jump way higher than LeBron(look up his college mixtapes)...and he can't even touch the top of the backboard.

[japjapi]

i swear down.. i have the sports illustrated right here, its a interview with a team mate that tells the whole play how it went down,, it was of an alley oop.. no body believed he would catch that ball.

[Milkman23]

@japjapi

James White has video proof, thats the thing man. I know that in most cases that seeing is believing is non sense but with people so full of bs in the NBA. LeBrons gotta make a video...taking a TEAMMATES word for it just sounds fishy to me

[2k6isMVP]

i can easily touch the backboard too

im pretty sure alot of basketball players could touch the backboard...:)

[japjapi]

the top ?

if so u deserve a medal .. lol

[6Bert9]

it's not about touching the backboard...it's about touching the TOP of the backboard, only a few players can do such a thing

[hgeyer99]

@japjapi this has nothing to do with lebron you fanboy

[japjapi]

@ hgeyer99. dnt act a typical yank..

first off IM far from a lebron fan.. he's quality but all the hype build round that man before he has done ne thing.. na not my thing..

[analher]

He didn't jump 12ft 6in, I say around 5'6 or 5'7, but he still has the highest vertical jump out here...aka Blaze

[MRchristhebest55]

fuckin sick all the haters talk shit cuz thats why hes superman and u talk shit throught youtube u nerds

[srh420otown]

It doesn't matter...do the math..he is 6'11 just say 7 feet..he jumped 12 foot 6 inches..minus 7 feet..and his arm length that's still well over 4 feet from the bottom of his shoe's!!! I don't care what any one say's..ya the dunk it self wasn't spectacular but for the fact he can jump that high is impressive..

[sybar777]

this dunk was not amazing.. this is a tall guy,, and he only got like 2-3 feet in the air... all he did was slap the back board and barley make the dunk.. not impressive.. have you seen what these guys do.. this is not even close to being the best.. its not a how high can you touch contest.. its a visual dunk contest.... no contraversy.. get over it

[Ahmazing69]

haha ii alwaiiz loved diss dunk mainly coz of what..thinqo sedd" michael dun lost his damn mind" HAHA ill uv dett line

[mdude119]

hes 6 11 and has long ass arms its not that hard for him

[blackadam06]

Exactly..

He's 6'11..what' so spectacular about that?!! LOL!!

Now if a little guy had done that, THEN that would've been spectacular..

[07liberian]

Typically, Tall People Don't Have Ups. It's Awesome If A 7 Footer Can Get Up 1 Foot Off The Ground, But 3.5 Feet That's Pretty Fuckin Incredible.

[Bike4life5]

WTF were Dom,Dr J and MJ thinking!!!

[jarethmd]

@Bike4life5 the judge who rated him the highest, would have to take if off... without a ladder.

[rnssr71]

for the record, howard has a 40 inch vert, not 36. one of my favorite players. i'd love to see him on the spurs alonside duncan.

also, mj and pippen(6'6'', 6'7'' respectively)

used to have contests where they would see who could stack the most pennies on top of the backboard.

[cptboy24]

thats bullshit... nobody can touch the top of the backboard.

[comptonog91]

u only think like dat cuz u white

trust me there are many things niggas could do dat white people thought impossible

[cptboy24]

dwight howard doesnt even reach the top of the backboard... if he cant do it then who can? and what does the color of my skin have to do with anything?

[SFO14]

watch James White on youtube, he almost touched the top of the backboard with a running start

[cptboy24]

almost

[zonins]

lebron can touch the top of the backboard. watch more tv.

[cptboy24]

watch more tv??? in order for lebron to touch the top of the backboard his shoulder would have to reach the rim... and even if he could touch the top of the backboard he still couldnt stack pennies up there.

[icereignafrica]

they are talking about WITHOUT TH BASKETBALL. kevin garnett used to do it in high school, and i'm from chicago so i know for sure that it happened.

it's not impossible for lebron.

[cptboy24]

of course they're talking about without thebasketball... just because you are from chicago doesn't mean anything... did you see it yourself?

[icereignafrica]

i was around to see garnett and ronnie fields playin high school! i even went to Whitney Young high school when quinton richardson was playing. i didn't see it myself, but everyone was talking about it.

i don't see why they would lie.

[comptonog91]

stop bullshitin man

learn yo shit before u open dat bitchass mouth

stack penny on top of the backboard?

nigga please

im not sayin dat dats not possible

wat im sayin is for mj and pippen HELL NO!!!

[w8amonth]

That's not true. People who has 40 inch vertical could easily do a 50 inch running vertical. That would mean him honey dipping on 12ft rim and dunking two hands on 13 ft off the drible and not from the aly oop. People who thinks Blacks are genetically ordained to jump higher than many people, they don't know anything about it and were begginer vertical leapers.

[stou2301]

is that TRAVIS DIENER??!

[BIackBandit]

He didn't jump 12'6, his reach was 12'6 buddy :)

Still like twice the height I can touch

[patchornet]

oh my goodness, think how scary it would have been if he hung on the top of the back board!

[FAYMprod]

i hate it... when broadcast types...

speak with this inflection.

you sound... like a moron.

[lilmikel58]

i am sorry i agree with the judges. can any of you guys commenting dunk? if your 7 feet tall with the wingspand of a jet and you have like about a 36 inch vertical jump yea i think thats a lame dunk. i am not saying that he isnt sick but if he was 6'5 or even 6'9 and touch that high i would give him a 10

[atammarco]

agree with ya. don't know if there were things behind, but i agree with the judges, out of that i was expecting maximum a 9 and that has been, he's damn tall guys, if he was smaller a 10 would have been impressive!!

[FroobRadio]

You guys are fucking stupid.

CAN YOU HONESTLY SAY THAT A SHORTER GUY CAN DO THAT?

God, you guys probably just love MJ Dr.J and Dom too much to agree that they messed up.

Freaking idiots.

[danny270]

Wtf are you on? First of all, he's 6ft 11

Second the taller you are, the harder it is to jump. 36 inch vert. for someone that's almost 7 feet is incredible.

[vacuumcleanerbot]

I bet MJ had a Hakeem flashback, that's why he gave him an 8...

Seriously, though, you're arguing that 6'9" would be more impressive? That's 2", for God's sake.

[2k6isMVP]

dude dwight jus having that 36 inch vert is impressive...

[reak7835]

how can they give him an 8,8,8,9,9... if i was one of the judges i would give him a 10...

12ft 6 inches... i don't think there is anyone in the league that can do that...

i mean talk about getting robbed of an all star dunk contest...good thing he got it in new orleans

[kingdavecako]

100% agree

[reak7835]

thanx

i mean these guys can't be serious...they robbed andre i at the 2006 dunk off

can anyone do that move that he didvon an ordinary basketball rim and backboard? (besides dwight howard who did something similair) NO. that's what was so unique about that dunk...and he ran out of the gym cuz he nailed it... but they gave it to nate robinson...now don't get me wrong he deserved some shine...but that whole thing with him winning just doesn't sit right with all of people...

[chromenines]

dude how can you say weight dont matter.

weight is the most thing that matters!

dumbass

[stormfellows]

bigg fucking deal he touched 12' 6". thats pussy for him. hes like 7' and his arm is like 2 and a half feet so thats not even a fucking high jump. its like 36" at most. im fucking white and have a higher vertical than that. Dwight Howard sucks dick, and i would rape him in a game of blacksketball. BITCH

[RedSoxRox34]

7+2=9......he jumped 3' 6".

You know how amazing it is for a guy that tall to be that athletic? You can jump that, but usually big guys cannot jump that

[stormfellows]

thats because guys like him are pussy. plus it don't matter how big you your body is going to be porportional or how ever the way you spell it if your in good health the only reason that they cant move is there legs are too weak. look at usain bolt he is 6'7" and is the fastest man on the planet and brandon jacobs the giants running back he is 6'4" and wieghs 270 pounds and that guy can run and jump so don't tell me that big men cant move. O and 7+2.5 = 9.5 so he jumped 3 feet

[RedSoxRox34]

ha.....3" can make a difference. Paul Pierce is 6' 7" and people that size USUALLY are higher jumpers, faster runners and etc. Key Word: U S A U L L Y

note:I did not say big men can't move...I said most of them. Also, why does being White or Black matter? As you say....everyone should be the same.

[stormfellows]

because niggas have geneticaly more muscle in there legs than whites

[RedSoxRox34]

ok then...........

[ngflycloud]

yeah do you weigh as much as he does?

[mercilesschump]

hey dumbass, he weighs over 250 lbs....

and if you know anything about gravity,

that kinda weight doesn't stay in the air for long, his dunk was sick...

you need to shut da fuck up with that.

"BITCH"

[stormfellows]

wheight has absolutly nothing to do with any thing except for the fact that his legs are too pussy to jump don't try to pull that weight shit cause there are 4 ton airplanes that stay in the air for days. and you know why. Cause they have the power. the only is, is that he is a pussy and is to week and can keep on cry cause it aint as great as he thought it was.

[dilmah23]

your just a muppet....

suck a fat cock and get the fuck off youtube

[stormfellows]

Alright now listen you little NIGGER. You better watch who you talk shit to cause the next thing you know you might be ;ayin in the street biting a curb BITCH

[dilmah23]

im pretty sure i wont be biting a curb mate.

your a joke

get some mates fuker

and for the record im not a "NIGGER".

[mercilesschump]

your a fucking idiot, those PLANES STAY IN THE AIR FOR DAYS ON BECAUSE THEY HAVE TWO JET ENGINES that can hold "4 tons each"..... Go watch soccer you twat

[NaptownLady]

LOL @ Charles Barkley..."Michael done lost his damn mind in Vegas"

[bayuro]

If Yao Ming dunks like that his sticker might reach the top of the board.

[dinzo213]

wtf is so special

he is enormous and he jumped realy high

[immafatazn]

"michael done lost his damn mind"

hahahahah

[lilbadong123]

only because mj dominque nd dr j wer high flyers,

they expect more

they shudnt be judges

[sw4kd]

he didnt jump 12 feet 6 inches. his hand reached to that height

[apic165]

can you jump that high ? ...shut up sw4kd

[sw4kd]

Yeh I can actually

[immafatazn]

stfu and show some proof then.

[speedtrap248]

MJ, Wilkins, and Dr. J were real assholes about the entire thing.

[sirbaked]

i would've given him a 50 for just the sticker. hilarious lmao

[heetskits]

damn thats fucked up im white and thats just fucked up

[Mangan8er]

you give a bad name to white people

[900kingkongs]

haha lmao thats just funny really random just shows how dumb you are.

[apic165]

hey redneck ... wake the fuck up ...the civil war is over cracker !!

[pillowpoopit]

wat the fuck is wrong with u?

[drunkobongo]

Jamario Moon didn't get robbed. He came up short.

[arenbi08]

yeah but that stupid ass kapona sux at tossin the damn ball mayn

i knw he can do it.. fuck !

[josephmalekzadeh]

Yeah Jamario shouldn't have had a pass on that dunk attempt. He should have just jumped from that insane distance with the ball MJ and Dr.J style instead of trying to fancy it up.

The all star weekend was cool for the raps with bosh and kapono, but it was frustrating seeing moon screw up that dunk because he's DONE it before. it would have been legendary. the kid has serious hops.

[letsgolakers123]

for sure the man was robbed that was such a legit dunk and funny as hell his face on the sticker haha

[SyedAliShah]

It wasn't funny, shut the fuck up bitch

[Juice1001001001]

it would have been 50 if his head went that high instead of a stretched out arm

[sjvmustang]

@Juice1001001001 its physically impossible for somebody to do that

[Boris222222]

the damn cometrsion was rigged man

that was a 10 score dunk

[fartzilla95]

he should have got a 50

[pimpsoldier0]

why is he talking like its a national security issue?

[someguy12346]

who cares. jamario moon got robbed, and no one made a video for him.

[lilreaper66]

If spud did that it would have been 10s all across but he is 6/11 210 pounds of pure arm!!

[SpEeDoUt88]

howards the shit but he didnt jump 12'6 thats where his arm got 2 stupid shit

[Uzanime]

lol true cuz when i put my arm up its like 9 ft and im 6'5

[aristonbaby]

check out our basketball movie. dwight howards weak.

[roymegatron]

what r they talking about!!!!!!!?

[WhBlAdEs28]

How funny was CHUCK?! "Michael done lost his DAMN MIND!!"

[janitormopmop]

uh how is that being robbed? He jumped just as high as he always does if you watch the replay all he does is simply reached his hand up and slap a sticker on! The dunk is just an ordinary one you might find in a game with one hand reached up high.

[rvpdabest07]

i wanna see u do that bro

[mannyray77]

it does not matter he won anyway

[dilmah23]

this was the year b4 he won u dickhead

[atvizory2000]

hhahahaha

[giov12]

robbed indeed!

[bobkauss07]

he did get robbed, I watched that and agree. Nice to see that that motivated him to win this year

[lp28machetero]

dumbass dunk.

[badboysunited]

that dunk was fucking stupid, anybody of his stature can do that easily i mean come on hes 6'11" and nothing but muscle he has no fat and has long ass arms that was easy as fuck for him thats why he got a 42 or w/e the hell it was.

[amareADJ1]

yh but its harder to jump higher being a big man he has the same, probly higher vertical than josh smith whilst pulling more wieght around

[34celtics34]

Dude can u jump and put up your arms twice your height? Wat the fuck is wrong with you? Ur a fag

[dldowell1122]

Bitch, Yao ming is 7'7 and he cant pull that dunk off.

[hatetheworld04]

yao ming

[mellsz]

that was amazing!!!!

who was the judges?is it kobe?

[homieof2006]

mnkkl

[dukeownsyou23]

he is basically shaq in shaqs seassons with orlando except dwight didnt go to college and get owned by duke

[revliscrazy]

He reached 12'6 in the air...that wasn't the vertical. But STILL...got robbed. Just for someone of his stature to pull off all the crazy stuff he does is amazing, let alone with this sick dunk.

[mouloudo]

the problem in this contest is that the judges give the score before seeing the replay...

[AntoineGuitar]

yes it was 12'6

[nbaballa808]

how da fuk do u no if it was 12'6,

[MrBibbylicious10]

cuz jameer nelson measured it retard. it showed on the video

[janitormopmop]

right jameer nelon's lil measurment im sure that was accurate considering how long it took him to do it and how the tape was all bent and not straight

[Zeethr]

haha nbaballa u got owned

[numba1lieu]

This Guy's Creativity is AWESOME!

[nbabelalvc]

vince carter touched the same height on the backboard--12 ft. 6"

he only 6ft. 6" -- 5 inches shorter than howard

but howard killed every1 in the 08 dunk contest

he sure showed mike that he superman!!

[thereg23]

you gotta remember tho, howard is 260? 275? carter is like 195-200? thats alot more weight to move, and if you look at it, he could have gone higher, i think he could have even put it on top of the backboard...

[kelely]

ya but look at how tall he is

[d0ngkim]

It's crazy because he's so big. Not many big people can jump like that.

[kelely]

ya your right besides shaq lol jk i dont like him very much lol

[pmpjuce6]

jordan's highest tough is 12ft5 inches and hes 6.6" there she is!

[ukguy28]

one of the worst robberies since shawn kemp lost to dee brown in 1991

[kyrj1013]

you people are idiots...how many 6'11" big men players do you see jumping like him? without worrying about shattering their ankles?

[tharpey]

i can think of a 6'8 rookie who can jump twice as high (Carl Landry)

[tharpey]

He jumped high, put a sticker on the backboard, then dunked - and got robbed.

well, Gerald Green jumped high, BLEW OUT A FREAKIN CANDLE ON A CUPCAKE then dunked -and got robbed.

so all is fair now! besides....dwight's superman dunk was a layup - stop complaining.

[MoneyBallAgent]

agreed , green's one deserved a 50

green got robbed this year

[slimthugga34]

exactly! glad to see other people who feel like me...

[hanhkh0231]

but dwights other dunks were better then Gerald Greens not only the superman dunk

[shredshit364]

yah most people 7 feet tall cant jump for shit hes an amazing athlete probley one of a kind

[benedictlee98]

12"6 - 7 = 5"6

but also, his arms are like 1 foot

so 4"6

STILL WONDERFUL SHIT MAN

[asay636]

haha his arms are more than a foot, unless u mean they ADD a foot to his heigth when he puts em up, but still its probably more than a foot

[speckyfiveeyes]

what a waste of everyone's time.

[Don612Juan]

when you look at how pretty the shit the real players used to do with their dunks. you see that him being able to almost touch the top backboard and dunk at the same time isnt fuckin special. its ugly as hell...people block layups that high in the league all night... get outta here howard.

[Mikey210194]

to be fair he is only 6 11

[Danny6893C]

12 foot 6 at 7 foot, stil 5 foot 6.

[Smokin3215]

add some very long arms and its more like 2'

[TheLilJay]

The Problem is, the judges shouldve been able to watch a replay before giving their scores...

they didnt even realize what he did, i did neither at first.

[dmjr83]

every healthy 7 footer who can't do that should be executed.. jesus.. youre 7 feet tall!!!

[havik206]

man the dunk is overrated get over it for fuck's sake hes a 7 footer with a massive wingspan he should be able to reach that high

[OnionRing30]

thats the best thing I ever saw!!!! You ROCK Dwight Howard

[urgiles7]

vinny is a slappy

[roscorosco26]

The Judges must of not known about the sticker.

[uberbadd]

no shit they said that in the video

you say that like it's a good assumption you made

[wtfrank3TV]

micheal done lost his damn mind....lol

[godzillaislarge]

wait, thats 12ft 6, i think i might have touched 13ft

[Shmizzle2317]

sure you did

[godzillaislarge]

fuck you you stpid hater, 13ft is just 4 inches higher fagit

[krazzyyo2]

foo cant jump very high

[um0720]

your dumb mofo. He weighs 270. FREAK OF NATURE

[bigben0316]

What a dumb ass... 3 foot long arms for 6'11 ? I'm 6'4'' and have almost 3 foot long arms.

[fatpiggy12]

[bigeid33]

[Ketchupclaw]

[benrules77]

[thebutterflysong]

[Malachi1979]

Dwight Howard is SICK! For everybody else that are leaving negative comments....please. The boy's bad, face it....
