Dwight Howard - 2008 NBA Slam Dunk Contest (Champion) (Improved Quality) 

Player: *breathes* Kenny: “LADIES AND GENTLEMAN IT IS OVER I AM LEAVING THE BUILDING”

Announcer logic: Supermans here! Sings Indiana Jones theme music

Who came back because Dwight did the same “Superman” Dunk in the 2020 allstar

I can't believe this was 12 years ago

Back when Kobe liked dwight

Had to come back here to cleanse my eyes from this years contest

I’ll never forget watching it live and hearing the crowd reactions to the replays at 4:12. Realizing he threw the ball made it so much better, I was laughing so hard in amazement😂🔥

This the most underrated dunk contest of all time.

Had to come back here after it was announced that Dwight Howard will participate in the dunking contest.

God, I remember voting for Dwight via text. Lol man how times have changed.

I had to come back to this after that thing they called a dunk “contest” the other day

Kenny’s reaction to the superman dunk just gets the goosebumps flying

Super man is in the building *sings Indiana Jones Theme* 😂😂

Dwight: does this dunk. Gets a 50 me: does this dunk in 2k dunk contest and gets a 30

I know this video is about Howard but seeing Kobe wth his smile broke my heart

Loved seeing Kobe's reaction. RIP. Kobe. Dwight Howard rooting for you and the Lakers.Glad you and Kobe made peace.

This dude was the best center in the league at one point.

I remember watching it on tv. Still one of my fav dunk contests of all time. I miss 2008, everything about it

I remember when this aired I was very unimpressed with his third dunk. Then they played the slo-mo and I realized he tapped it off the backboard first LOL

5:41 this 3rd dunk was insane. No one had done that before and idk how he made it look so smooth

This is crazy. This now is 10 years ago. I feel like I watched this yesterday:0

Kenny's Reactions are so insane this day will be legendary in the brain of dunk contest fans forever.🏀🏀🏀

Charles kills me with his commentary 😆 🤣

Who's here in 2020 just to watch Kobe smile? :)

that is the dwight we deserve

Despite all the antics and trades and all the other stuff. I hope people don’t forget how Dwight Howard used to be. Dropped out of the sky...

pause at 4:38... yes, ok, it's not as technically complex as some of Lavine's, Gordon's or Carter's dunks, but *this* is still one of the greatest dunks I've ever seen... LOOK HOW HIGH OFF THE GROUND HE IS 🤯🤯🤯🤯

That Superman dunk is legendary,I can totally imagine Superman ( Clark ) throwing the ball into the hoop due to the concern for the rim,not wanting to breaking it.

Rip Dwights Vertical

Dwight wanted Kobe to assist him in this years dunk contest. After all the news, it’s just so sad now.

Kobe is a legend

3:17 R.I.P Kobe we will Miss you

Watching this in 2020, seeing Kobe in the image I remember him from my childhood from (turning 25 this year) is heartbreaking man. R.I.P. Mamba. Will never forget the 08 All Star break

It’s difficult to see Kobe smile, it will always be heartbreaking. I’m not the biggest fan but he is and always be one of the greats. I give my respect. Wish he was here smiling like that at this years all star. If he would of known he had alil over a decade left of living life. How would he live? He maximized every potential. How would you live?

The self alley oop Mid Air dunk - most under rated dunk

Here I am, minding my own business watching old dunk contests...and they show Kobe smiling that classic Kobe smile and now I'm crying.

Kennyyy 😂😭😭 "I'm leaving the building I quit my job"

(2nd dunk) the falling star dunk METEOR JAM!

RIP Kobe and Gigi. You will be missed.

That was probably the best dunk contest performance ever. So much creativity and he made it fun too. That 12ft dunk I'm not so sure Vince could do it

This a top ten dunk contest performance. To be 6'11 to jump that high, with that hang time. The entertainment factor with the super man cape. All the extra stuff made it special. If you disagree. Get all that Dwight hate out of your system and be objective for once in your life. Sheesh just listen to the damn announcers.

Dwight was really in fire back then. Stilll one of my favorite players. ✌😎❤🔥👊👑

YOOOOO MY BOY DWIGHT THE HOF, THE GOAT

Seeing kobe still breaks it man 💔

Man, Dwight really was amazing. Sad how he never truly lived up to his potential.

as close as we'll ever get to michael b jordan playing superman

Greatest dunk contest of all time to be honest. This was unbelievable. I’ll never forget watching it live

Dwight Howard is the best in slam dunk contest

even being as tall as he is... this is top 5 all time dunks. he was parallel in that one dunk.

1:39 “the kids? Nigga me, this shits crazy” 💀💀😂😂 wtf

I miss Kobe .. i still can't believe he is dead.

Lowkey one of the greatest dunk contest performances of all time

因T1灌籃大賽過來重溫Howard以前的灌籃大賽🔥

I am see you again kobe!😭

3:55 Kobe ♥♥

Welcome to Taiwan legend

Tell me why he was singing Indiana Jones themesong

Dwight Howard's Superman is the best lay up i have ever seen

The Superman dunk is iconic probably the greatest moment in dunk contest history (yes not Jordan)

真高興Howard 來台灣 這屆真的是很有創意的秀

Imagine if he never got injured

These were good times for the NBA... Kobe, Dirk, Nash, Shaq, Ray Allen, Yao Ming, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Parker, Manu and upcoming young stars LeBron, Wade, Melo, Bosh, Paul, Dwight...

Still better than 2022 dunk contest

Incredible, my favorite dunk contest performance ever

1:39 “the kids? Nigga, me!” 😂😂 that’s what it sound like he said lmao

I always wonder where the ball came from at 3:44 until I realize his teammate from the background threw the ball to him, lol. God Bless.

smiling with tears looking at Kobe

If your here in 2021 your a true legend

Damn Kyle Lowry in a memphis warm up good times good times

"Let's go home! Okay let's go home." "He got a body like Superman I swear!" "OHHHHHHHH!!!" Judges don't even censor their thoughts for this man lol

This definitely has to be a top 3 perfomance.

These dunks were better than what we see today in the dunk contest

Go Lakers, 2019-2020!!! Welcome back, Dwight! 💜💛

This solo perfromance is way better than a bunch of players from the past decade and now

So this is how Kagami learned the Meteor Jam...

Just came here to refresh my eyes from what happened to the 2022 Nba Dunk Contest. 😅

Rest in Paradise Kobe :(

Who is here after watching 2022 dunk contest bullshit?

I like when he threw the 10 on the table like that @ 4:06, lol. God Bless.

Anyone else come here to experience what it felt like when the dunk contest was actually exciting?

“We’ve never had a guy in the nba this tall that could jump like this.” Wilt Chamberlain had a 48 inch vertical.

prime dwight was off the charts athletic. easy to forget these days.

Dwight was ridiculously nasty here

damnnnnnn this is going to be 20 years old in 4 years!

Who would’ve known he would be the mvp a dozen years later

R.I.P KOBE 😢😭

thank you for the improved quality

R.I.P. Kobe!!

Kobe R.I.P ❤🕊

Kobe vc é foda... Jamais vai ser esquecido. Fez parte da minha adolescência Respeito eterno

This is what we needed in 2022

Back when dunk contest makes a smile on your face

4:13 Kuroko: "KAGAMI! ignito pass!" Kagami: "HYAAAAA!"

So glad Superman can touch down Taiwan!

I remember this day so well

Kobe 🙏💜💛✌️

HE THREW IT THROUGH!!! - Magic Johnson's vocabulary

i miss the entertainment back in that time in NBA

Dam RIP Kobe I love you man

Here after 2022 dunk contest 😔
