Dwight Howard made the Slam Dunk Contest worth watching. Some complained that his “Superman Dunk” wasn’t really a dunk. I agree, I don’t think that should have counted as a dunk and he had time remaining to retry to do it right. He didn’t even touch the rim! When he was interviewed he explained that the Soulja Boy Superman song is his favorite song. Even if it is… why would you proclaim that on national television!?!

If you still don’t believe he is a beast.. just watch him practicing his dunks for the dunk contest (ignore the product placement):

About the All-star game itself… it was competitive down to the final minutes! This was the first time in years that it wasn’t a blow out. Ray Allen helped the East pull out the Win. In my opinion Ray is the best player of the Celtic Trio. He has one of the highest free throw shooting percentages, is a clutch shooter, can drain 3 after 3 and can control the ball, create space, and create his own shot. I also like the other 2, I mean “I Ball fierce like Paul Pierce” -Rebel INS.

Lebron and Dwight Howard also put on a show with great passing and alley oops. I also like Chris Paul of the Hornets. He did well in the skills challenge and is really fun to watch. He is a pure point guard. There are guards like Steve Nash that can really run plays and make great passes, but he is also relied upon to play that 2 guard role where he has to score alot of points to ensure his team wins. So in that sense he doesn’t play that pure point guard role that someone like Chris Paul plays. He has a nice handle, is quick, has a beautiful shot, he can score but he thinks pass first, shoot second.

About NBA players helping to build homes in New Orleans with Habitat for Humanity: Hey thats great and all, but… some of these guys didn’t go to college, not sure if I would want them to build my house! I know how bad I was at arts and crafts, cant imagine how clumsy and lousy 7 footers would be.
