Slam Dunk Contest 2012 Video: Paul George Dunks Over Roy Hibbert With Some Help

Paul George brought out two players to assist his dunk, saying he needed one guy to pass and another to jump over. We’ve seen plenty of Slam Dunk Contest participants jump over players, kids and cars, but George decided to up the ante by bringing out 7-foot-2 Roy Hibbert. Chase Budinger jumped over P. Diddy, so George needed to step it up a bit.

It took him a bit of time to get warmed up, but after two misses he finally got over Hibbert. Video of the dunk is below.

Of course, it looks like George used his hand to push off in an effort to clear Hibbert. Understandable, but that and his two failed attempts took a bit of the thunder out of his first dunk.

As a reminder, the fans are doing the voting this year. For more on the process, head over here.
