Howard doesn't seem like a very creative guy when it comes to dunking. He's got athleticism and power, but he doesn't have the flair of a big man that could really throw it down (someone like Shawn Kemp).
I don't know, I think Dwight could do pretty good. I remember reading an article over the summer about Dwight pulling off some crazy dunks in the Team USA practices. Apparently they would have mini dunk contests after practice and some of the soldiers and spectators were amazed by some of Dwight's dunks. Dunking in a game is a lot different than dunking in a dunk contest so I don't think any of us know how Dwight would fare. Howard isn't the type of player who would try something crazy in a game so maybe he will suprise us all with his creativity.
Unless Dwight goes between the legs twice, i really wouldn't be all that impressed. Love ole' boy, but I wouldn't want to see him in the dunk contest.

Dwight probably can do between the legs twice. Who knows?? Shawn Kemp used to be nasty at dunking before the cocaine and the women.
i know d12 has some stuff up his sleeve..he has been wantin to do this since his rookie year..i think he can do some really crazy stuff that will be unique..hmm maybe grab quarter off the top of the backboard in dunk it..or maybe something better than that
