Only 7 foot guy who could probably take off from that distance is Giannis. But Dwight is 34 years old. Some of these guys are forgetting that.

[@Mr.Gundam7]

Back in the days dwight will beat all this fools easy lol

[@honeygill4197]

DeAndre Jordan can do that too..

[@krlllx]

Wilt could at that age

[@545047]

Danyal Yousaf Dwight had two back surgeries and is older and has more miles on his body

[@Alextukangreviewmobil]

@@Mr.Gundam7 agree

[@thepurplewalrus4200]

1:59 this angle's unreal. Dwight's still athletic af at 34

[@dremactvja]

Bro I'm telling you

[@whitemamba-ct7xc]

His first dunk was a 50. He made it look so easy people slept on it. He’s one of the only humans Who can do that. This should have been a 47

[@paulhampel9037]

I agree first one was epic

[@Mr.Gundam7]

Facts back in the days dwight and shaq will beat all this fools lmaoo

[@rockzs74r]

His first dunk was like the sticker dunk he use to did. People only know how epic it is in replay

[@red23rd]

The first one was farther, in the replay it look so amazing like he was not gonna make it. The 1st dunk is always clear 50 for me..

[@sorinn7894]

Giannis can deff do that

[@janxh01]

Throwback man. Jameer Nelson to Howard. that Magic team..

[@rockzs74r]

It was supposed to be Kobe. He already said yes to help dwight.

Dwight "He's 34 years old" Howard

[@whchu08]

The most important thing is his return from a down turn of his career

[@545047]

I think he should’ve windmilled it. From how high he jumped I think he could’ve done it, but it’s still impressive how he’s getting up that high at 34 years old and after two back surgeries

[@paulhampel9037]

His first dunk may have been the most underrated dunk in the contest's history

[@n.willy4864]

His second dunk was one of the most overrated dunks in the contests history so it balances out

N. Willy48 wasn’t overrrated it was nostalgic and it was a tribute

I just noticed those refs at 1:03 looked the same for a second, had the same pose, and were in sync when looking at Dwight lol.

[@ko_watanabe_tech_yt]

Amazing 🤩

[@showdonz]

Y'all really don't get it eh, lost in the sauce..it wasn't about winning for Dwight he's come back from a long way

[@psychosis1421]

That pass behind the backboard was harder than the dunk itself

[@THEREALUNCLEILL]

That was very good. Judges crazy

[@BrandonKohout]

It’s been 12 years since he did that dunk.

[@DTrain2000]

I lost it the moment I saw the cape. My first thinking "I need to see Shaqs reaction" XD

[@henrywashington3732]

Man What I see is him throwing that Superman logo on the ground like he telling Shaq you can keep it! That first dunk was really unique.

[@gunhooaciel]

Jameer looked like he could still ball. Lakers need a scoring guard now

[@spiralxoxo]

The only one who give respect to Kobe in the dunk contest, he definetly deserved to pass that round

[@EvaMariotti-ty7tq]

My Love ❤, Beauty Supermann

[@sanfordsson]

That dunk actually looked better than the original.

[@alexbronynerfman]

Ohhh yeah Superman is back!

[@underoath257]

Dwight the GOAT!

[@chrisinthemix700]

Noone have mentioned that 12 years ago he didn't even reach the rim and throwed the ball. Now in his 34 years, he reached it with authority(!!!!???!!). How?

[@emrewest8788]

yea it was a concidience that the man threw it bad to far and Dwight just could do throwing and it is a luck that it happened it looked like flying dunk it wasnt planned ı think

[@knockknock23]

If dwighty windmilled that superman dunk, they would have shut it down then and then

[@remy7156]

I loved seeing Shaq smile man

[@keithmutamba1395]

Superman that bro

[@LongPham-py8iv]

The reason he got 49 because even they had had given him a 50, he would not be able to advance the second round because he had low score on the first one

[@TrymTheXboxGamer]

his dunks is heavily underated ... i think they called the first dunk statue of liberty

[@certifiedchaos4643]

He actually dunked in this time dope

[@hihiroroman]

Crying

[@goldiechilling330]

Kenny talking like he could 360 windmill from the free throw line give Dwight his credit

[@jayden7306]

He didn’t jump as high as the old one, it’s sad seeing* him getting old

[@tommcglone2867]

Dwight was humbled by Kobe and he remembered who gave him the reality check he needed to become a future hall of famer

[@545047]

Dwight was already a HOF before teaming up with Kobe

[@likefishing99]

baddass

[@spiralxoxo]

He deserved to pass that round

[@chmthbestchristian5777]

This Time he actualy did the dunk

[@TrymTheXboxGamer]

the first dunk he purposly slowed downdu then spinned 180 to finish the dunk it which is pretty hard. ( 360 statue of liberty or something but ofc people expect a quick spin)

[@murti94]

Jameeeeerr

[@starr0401]

I forgot Boseman was in this as a judge. Man... gone too soon

[@oceanman9643]

I like the Kobe tribute but how was this dunk a 49 and Aaron Gordon’s a 47?

[@CoDisafishy]

Because they sucked at scoring. They should've just been honest and gave him an 8 at most, but they wouldn't because it was a tribute to Kobe. I doubt Kobe would've given that a 50.

[@oceanman9643]

CoDisafishy Facts

[@n.willy4864]

Neither of those dunks were even a 45, Dwights was overrated and Gordon clipped tako’s head and it didn’t even look that clean

[@swasho2939]

has to do with one person... the guy that purposely broke Kobe's nose in the all star game 8 years ago and also has a daughter as a son

How many 7fters can take off two legs and still deliver a mean ass dunk from that distance??

[@ethans5198]

For some reason this 2020 dunk was better than what he did on 2008

[@ballinforjesus3645]

I agree. Especially at 34 and as a tribute dunk. It was clean, balanced,powerful, got it down on first try with perfect lob, and still had enough height and distance to create the flying effect. Plus the nostalgia. I like this one better id say it was a success. The first one was overrated, this one is probly a little underrated.

If you're going to do a normal dunk... throw it off the camera dolly so that it ricochets off the backboard, catch it, throw it off a cheerleaders face and then dunk it.
