Dwight Howard - 2009 NBA Slam Dunk Contest

[@DoubleDworth]

3:28 David stern was probably vetoing the trade right there

[@FredyVergara]

DoubleDworth RIP

[@elijahambriz3694]

Crazy how a decade later he’s in it again

[@jdwl]

He's back 2020.

[@3kolby]

3:32 R.I.P. David Stern

[@mrpsycholeojoey87]

Now that is the old Dwight Howard I liked and respected when he did the dunk at 6:49. When he did that spectacular dunk, he reminded why he won the dunk contest back in 2008. He would have won the dunk contest based on that one dunk alone, but Nate outdunked him, literally, at the end. God Bless.

[@timothyahn2006]

Dude.. if Dwight still played at this level and had this level of athletic ability, Lakers would've been at the top, but he's not anymore and I find that sad.

Nate's dunks were nice but damn did he rob Dwight in this contest.

[@theshadygodfather]

No he didn't, Dwight's final dunk was the weakest.

[@rdr4095]

@@theshadygodfather yeah and it was still great. 6’11 center heal on the free throw line first try, pretty impressive

[@yohohoho8412]

LoL Nate weakass dunk jump over Dwight Howard. He used his hand to get a pump to jump over Dwight. It All dunks of Dwight were 50

[@virtuallyunknownn]

@@theshadygodfather no it wasn't, you're underestimating how far the free throw line actually is and how someone as big as dwight shouldnt be able to do that

[@MooseSports17]

Dwight should’ve won MVP in 2011

still too bad LeBron James still hasn't been in the dunk contest yet

+Zack Woody I was reading through the comments looking for somebody to say this. Thank you. He gets a pass for all the crap he does or doesn't do

[@nogamenolife1901]

+Zack Woody Watch the interview of D. Wade to him, he admitted that he is not a contest dunker, he is an in-game dunker. And he didn't join the 2010 dunk contest because that's the year he played in Miami, that's why their only focus is the Championship

[@woodymagic]

+Jerome Tiemsim (Chim) he wasn't with the heat in 2010,

Kenny: "This'll surprise me if he can jump off one leg the same way he jumps off two" *Dwight dunks from FT line off one leg* Kenny: "...it doesn't look as nice"

[@nicholasstolley2097]

Dwight Howard killed it 😂

[@patfer1189]

It wasn't here or 2008. What year's contest did he have a dunk where, while dunking, he placed a sticker with his face higher on the board of the basket? Anyone remembers? EDIT: It was 2007's contest. The sticker dunk was probably one of his top two dunks throughout all his contests.

[@kennethmiller7548]

Howard wins the dunk contest almost any other year

[@andrewwilson8082]

In all honesty, that 3rd dunk that he did was way better than all his Superman's crap. that was one of the best dunks in the dunk contest
