2009 Slam Dunk Contest Final Round

Nate Robinson 1st dunk:

He comes all deck out in green jersey and shoes. Kryptonite.

Reverse slam off of the bounce, bringing the ball all the way down to his waste and then slamming it home. Looks great.


Dwight Howard 1st dunk:

He passes it off the side of the backboard and slams it down hard with one hand.


Nate Robinson 2nd dunk:

Getting help from the competition by jumping over Dwight Howard, but he uses a little of Dwight's back to get over. A good looking dunk, especially in slow motion.


Dwight Howard 2nd dunk:

Howard is backing up everybody on the opposite side of the floor. What's he going to do?!?! Jumps from one step inside the free throw line. Doesn't look as good as Jordan or Dr. J. It didn't showcase his leaping ability.


And the winner is...

Nate Robinson.



Final thoughts...it was a good showing, but nothing that really stood out like in years passed. LeBron said he was going to get in the dunk contest next year. I hope he does and shows off something spectacular.
