He should just come out in the first dunk and tear the rim off, that would be sick, lol jk, i think dwight is a monster dunker and he has a vewry good chance to win
For his first dunk he should just do a regular 2-hander and then run back to the judge's table and punch out Kenny Smith. Automatic perfect. Tyrus vs. Dwight has the potential to be interesting or incredibly crappy.

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">ORLANDO — Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard has been informed by the NBA that he has been chosen to participate in the Slam Dunk Contest at the NBA All-Star Weekend on Feb. 17. Howard’s representatives have pushed hard for the 6-foot-11, 268-pound Howard to appear in the event in the hopes that it will broaden his visibility nationally. Howard wasn’t selected by the fans to start in the actual NBA All-Star Game on Feb. 18, but he is still expected to be selected as a reserve. The nonstarters for the game will be announced on Thursday. Howard is far and away the leader in the NBA in dunks this season with 123. Phoenix’s Amare Stoudemire (105) and Shawn Marion (104) are second and third. “Can I win? I can do anything if I just believe in it,” Howard joked. It’s just going to depend on the judges and the crowd.” Howard said he hopes he isn’t penalized for being one of the taller participants in the dunk contest. New York’s Nate Robinson, a 5-foot-8 point guard, won the event last season. “Sometimes they think just because you’re tall that it’s easier for you,” Howard said. But it takes a lot out of you because you’re carrying more weight. It’s tough taking 270 pounds and throwing it around in all the different ways.” The rules now demand that each participant use a teammate to assist with one of their dunks, and Howard said Jameer Nelson would accompany him. Howard is planning a dunk in which he literally kisses the rim with his lips and then dunks a ball in each hand.</div> Source I can't wait to see what Dwight and Jameer do.
I want to see him dunk Kenny Smith (no Ho-Mo) Meh, big men in these do tend to do very well. We'll see, I'll root for him if RC isn't in it.
