Dawkins delivers on Howard dunk names
By DwightHowardClub.com | February 20, 2008
Darryl Dawkins a.k.a. Chocolate Thunder was one of the lucky judges in the 2008 NBA Dunk Contest. He has become halfway famous for “naming” dunks. Check out the comments he had about D. Howard!
“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?
