2008 SLAM DUNK CONTEST... The Orlando Magic’s Dwight Howard came up with some pretty awesome dunks tonight. One dunk involved him lightly tapping the ball against the backboard as if it was a volleyball before catching and slamming it in, and the most memorable one is shown in the photo below: Dressing up like the Man of Steel and getting an alley-oop pass from teammate Jameer Nelson, Howard threw—not dunked—the ball into the net with authority. Pretty crazy. I haven’t seen a dunk contest this exciting since Vince Carter tomahawked and windmilled his way to the slam dunk championship in 2000.

Dressed up like Superman, Dwight Howard makes one of many spectacular dunks that would lead to him winning the 2008 Slam Dunk Contest.
