Dunk 4: The final dunk looked like it was originally planned for the 12-foot hoop, which Howard was not allowed to use. Nelson stuck a miniature suction cupped hoop onto the bottom right of the backboard and then placed the ball in it. Coming from the right baseline, Howard jogged over, grabbed the ball and did a windmill dunk to seal the victory.

Dunk 3: Next, Howard provided more originality as he bounced the ball off the ground with one hand, the punched it off the glass with his left hand and while still in the air, he grabbed the deflecting ball with his right hand and nailed the jam.

Dunk 2: This was perhaps the most memorable dunk of the night. Howard pulled his shirt off to reveal the Superman “S”, and then Orlando Magic teammate Jameer Nelson placed a Superman cape on his back. Dwight then ran around the court for a minute with his arms extended, pretending to be the superhero. Nelson stood behind the hoop, as Dwight took off from just two feet inside the free throw line. While in the air, Nelson threw Howard the ball, and with arms and legs extended (nearly parallel to the ground), Howard caught it cleanly and was up so high that he literally chucked the ball into the hoop instead of dunking it.

Dunk 1: Howard got things going with a bang, tallying a perfect 50 points with his first dunk. Standing out of bounds behind the backboard , Howard through the ball gently off the back of the glass, grabbed it with two hands, wind-milled the ball and threw it down with his left hand, while still having his head on the backside of the backboard.

‘See, the thing is, for people who never dunked before, you don’t have to touch the rim to dunk the ball. People were saying that it wasn’t a dunk because I didn’t touch the rim – you know, a lot of dunks I do during the season I don’t ever touch the rim, it’s just the fact that I put it in. And I wanted it to have the effect that it’s impossible what I did, so that’s why I threw it in like that.’

[...]

Yeah, but you see thing was, I wanted to throw it in. That way it would have looked a lot more cooler, and people would have been like, there’s no way that somebody could possibly do that but Superman.’

I love this guy!!!!!!!

“Dwight is the closest thing to young Darryl Dawkins,” laughed Dawkins, 51, a community ambassador for the New Jersey Nets who lives in Allentown, Pa. “I’m a big fan. He has a little showmanship to him. He came out there dancing — and most 7-footers can’t dance. They’re too awkward.”

So here are a couple of the names he gave our man’s dunks

• He called Howard’s Superman dunk, “The Supersonic Death Defying, Lead Flying, Underdog Dunk.”
• He called the tipping the ball against the glass with his left hand and then dunking it down with his right the “The Tap and Trap Dunk. “
• He called the first dunk, which was the head behind the backboard dunk “The Walk Away From Love Dunk.”

You guys have any other creative names?
