Anyone who owns a basketball need to all learn the way to dunk, I only just a short while ago finished the exercise system at 50 inch vertical (dot) com - it's the best course available (I'm merely 5'8!)
If you play bball at all, you gotta check out 50inch vertical (dot) com. A specialized training program that will help you start dunking and you don't even need to go to the gym (if you don't want to)!
The definition of the word "dunk" is as follows- Dunk-A shot made by jumping and slamming the ball down through the basket There is NOTHING in the definition that states that the player must touch the rim in any way. The thesaurus also states a dunk as follows- dunk shot- a basketball shot in which the basketball is propelled downward into the basket. Once again, no mention to touching the rim. Synonyms for dunk shot are dunk and stuff shot.
waw u guys r so stupid its called a dunk 4 a reason ur suppose to make contact or touch the rim wne u dunk not throw it in like he did tht should be d.q wat a fail.
I hate how people give him so much hate because he didnt officialy dunk it. This contest is about putting on a good show for the fans and showing a players creativity.
@Drazenko00 yupp blake griffin did the same thing on the knicks, it wasn't a dunk but people were freaking out about it...same thing here except dwight didn't have someone to climb.

I'm sorry to me, this dunk is trash. I mean...it's a dunk contest. You gotta dunk. It was sick how high he got and how far he jumped back but as far as the dunk...I didn't think it should have gotten all of that excitement or high scores.
wait can someone explain why this dunk is so popular? nate robinson was jumping higher in his dunks, dwight howard didnt really slant himself to give an appearance of superman flying through the air.
super man dunk----does he have to touch the rim ? no because he flies---which is what dhoward did---go to his practice dunks and he even says---he cares more about how he has to show people hes jumping high---go to his slow motion shots---look how high he got---and it was an alley hoop pass too....super difficult to do!
all i can say is , just pause the video at 1:12 and look at the height.. and imagine if actually does dunk it. as big and strong as DH is, from that height and with that force, basket comes down and DH probably hurts himself
yeah honestly watch the video of superman in the making he was just nervous that nite in that vid he does make it and dunk from the free throw line and technically he did SLAM the ball through, slam dunk:P
he could have dunked from the free throw line if he tried to, this wasn't exactly the same thing as jordan. and plus his is overrated anyway, wilt chamberlain could dunk from the free throw line starting inside the free throw circle. they had to change the rule because of it.
Did Dwights hands even hang on the rim, did they even go NEAR the rim? No. He threw the ball in, "dumbass" but they counted it as a dunk still because of the creativity and it was quite impressive
Ok go to a hoop you can dunk at. Now jump like he did towards the hoop and try chucking it in. You wont be able to do it. Even if it wasnt a dunk thats much harder than doing a dunk believe it. And if he wouldnt of threw it in he would of ran into the background most likely lol.
even though it didnt touch the rim it is still amazing. i mean what are the odds that he could ever throw the ball through the rim from that far away with that velocity ever again?
Had Jordan attempted this dunk he would have missed because the ball would have flown past his head since his arms aren't as lengthy as Dwight Howard's are.

boo, not a dunk. u have to atleast touch the rim if its a dunk. hes 7 ft tall he has to jump 2 ft off the ground to do all those dunks he did in the slam dunk contest. vince carter is better than him.
thts not tht gd considering MJ jumped from the free throw line n slam dunked it in dwight jumped from a little over the free throw line n culdnt even make the distance so he threw it in but he is still a sik dunker!!
True he didn't make it to the rim but look at the way he jumped. He came to a complete stop then jumped. if he ran through the jump he would probably easily make it from the free throw line.
come on now, it's not about how far he jumped from, it's more about showmanship. the cape, his body position in the air, and the intensity with which he threw it down... that's what made it good. I dunno, some people didn't like the fact that he didn't touch the rim, but that was my favorite part about the dunk!
Okay TOOTCHONG. He never even touched the rim. So, what your saying is, if he was above the rim and did a finger roll then that wood count as a dunk. You have to touch the rim for it to be considered as a dunk, not just throwing at the rim.
He didn't dunk that. He just threw the ball through the hoop. He does have incredible hops, but he still threw it through the hoop. The cape and the shirt are the only two things that made it look good.
i don't care spadesji needs to stfu up it's a dunk off but it's better when u do something that hasn't been done cus ppl are expecing to see a realy good show of dunks and wat ever u can do
a dunk is defined by hand to ball then ball to rim his hand doesnt even hit the rim he jus threw the ball.. if he slammed that then yeah itll be a cool dunk but i dont consider that a dunk
