Dwight Howard Wishes to Throw it Down

By Chris Mottram
We can all agree on one thing: Dwight Howard was robbed at last year’s dunk contest. Gerald Green stole that title from him, and now Howard wants redemption.
[quote="Orlando Sentinel"]“Dwight Howard says he’d like to compete in the slam-dunk competition during all-star weekend in February in New Orleans. ... ‘I’ll be back if they’ll have me,’ Howard said. ... Howard was upset after last season’s slam-dunk competition in Las Vegas, feeling the judges didn’t reward him for his creative “sticker dunk.”[/quote]
In case you forgot about the “sticker dunk,” he’s a little refresher:

He planted that sticker with his mug on it 12-feet-six-inches above the hardwood, while also grabbing an alley oop and dunking it cleanly. Not surprising from a man who can kiss the rim.
If he does return, he’s gonna have some stiff competition in the form of Wizards rookie Nick Young.
