Orlando Magic superstar Dwight Howard put on an amazing show for the second year in a row at the 2008 Sprite NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest. The difference from last year is that this time in New Orleans, Dwight Howard walked away as the slam dunk champion. Last year Howard jumped 12′6″ and slapped a sticker of his face on the backboard and received decent but not great scores from the historic judges panel of Michael “Air” Jordan, Dominique “Human Highlight Film” Wilkins, Julius “Dr. J” Erving, Darryl “Chocolate Thunder” Dawkins, and Kobe Bryant. Howard lost and vowed to dunk on everyone for the second half of last season while his team created a little spoof video called “The Sticker Dunk Controversy” supporting the 6′11″ 270lb phenom.

This year’s skills contests actually brought back excitement to the festivities that have been losing steam over the last few years. Utah Jazz point guard Deron Williams set a new record in beating 2-time defending champion Dwayne Wade in the Skills Competition. Jason Kapono of the Toronto Raptors tied Mark Price’s single round record of 25 points and successfully defended his Foot Locker Three-Point Shootout title. The all-star game itself was won by the underdog Eastern Conference and the MVP trophy went to the current face of the NBA, LeBron James who almost had a triple-double.

The slam dunk area of all-star weekend has become “yawn inspiring” over the years as the rules have changed and seemingly all dunks have been seen before. Last year Gerald Green, then of the Boston Celtics, defeated Howard and 5′9″ defending champion Nate Robinson. This year Green, now of the Minnesota Timberwolves (came over as part of the Kevin Garnett trade), completed a dunk where he placed a cupcake on the rim, lit a candle, and then slammed the ball while blowing the candle out. It wasn’t enough as Howard completed the top two dunks and others that were just out of this world. The announcers made reference that two of the dunks should be regarded as all-time “top 5″ dunks. In one, Howard threw the ball off of the back of the backboard and came around to the front in the air and dunked it. Another one he bounced the ball off the floor, tapped it with his left hand into the backboard in mid-air, and dunked it with his right.

Those amazing dunks will not be the image people will have of this contest when looking back. The lasting memory will be of former #1 overall draft pick Dwight Howard donning a cape, taking his jersey off (exposing a Superman jersey below), and flying through the air so high that he had to throw the ball down through the hoop. Dwight Howard jumps so high that he can almost literally “kiss the rim” and on this dunk he was “flying” as the announcers were saying. Dwight Howard may have revived one of the favorite parts of the NBA All-Star weekend by his amazing performance. There has never been a big man that can jump as well as Howard and some of the dunks he did, he may be the only person in the world capable of doing them. It will be interesting to see what Superman has planned for next year when he has to defend his title.

Spanky, I believe your claim that Bich Nga exists. Your post inspired me to share a couple photos I took while I was in Changsha (Hunan Province), China in 2001. Coffee or shoes, anyone?

Yes, I prefer my Do Do to be fun.

I didn’t go into the above store. I was a bit apprehensive that I wouldn’t know how to make proper use of the products they sold.

Go to Arthurhungry.com and check out this story:

Some people think Pho Shizzle could be a fake. I’ll give you the arthur hungry guarantee that Pho Bich Nga does in fact exist. It’s in Vancouver, on Kingsway, and I took the picture myself! We didn’t actually try it though as we were there at like 4pm in between meals. That will be for another day…”

1. Clinton has been complaining that Obama won’t debate her in Wisconsin.  If I remember correctly, it was recently pointed out on Jim Lehrer’s Newshour that they do have TV in Wisconsin. I think there are sufficient materials for Wisconsin people to see what Clinton and Obama are all about.

Verdict: faulty ACME rocket skates.

2.  Clinton claims that Obama plagiarized Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick. Clearly Patrick doesn’t give a shit:

Senator Obama and I are long-time friends and allies. We often share ideas about politics, policy and language,” Patrick said in the statement. “The argument in question, on the value of words in the public square, is one about which he and I have spoken frequently before. Given the recent attacks from Senator Clinton, I applaud him responding in just the way he did.”

Patrick approves. Obama is not fazed, either:

An Obama campaign spokesman said Monday the campaign was “obviously not traumatized” by the discovery of the similarities, ‘which is why we’re not putting out any official statement.’

 Verdict: ACME anvil that floats above you and then hits you on the head when you fall down into the chasm.

“Doh.” 

This is a video of the creation of an Etch A Sketch drawing of Carmelo Anthony. This artist is certainly talented, and you will be astounded at the final product.

I think this skill resonates with us so much because we’ve all held an Etch A Sketch at some point, and most of us just end up making Tron-like random tracks in the toy…. (At least I do….)

Jude Law, Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell will appear as Heath Ledger’s character in unfinished film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, the BBC has learned….
The fantasy film follows a travelling theatre troupe which offers audience members the chance to pass through a magical mirror to alternate dimensions….
Depp, Law, and Farrell are each expected to “become” Ledger’s character in one of these new worlds.

It must be difficult for a director to complete a movie when you lose such a talented actor in the middle of making it–not only emotionally, but professionally. It sounds like the plot of this movie is conducive to this creative move involving Depp, Law, and Farrell as incarnations of Ledger’s character. I imagine this will also serve as the trio’s tribute. I’m betting you’ll get a top-notch performance out of them, whatever the quality of the script.

Students fight back against gossip site

The Cornell University junior was in his dorm between classes when the text message came in from a friend. Check out JuicyCampus.com, it said. The student found his name on the Web site beside a rambling, filthy passage about his sexual exploits, posted by an anonymous student on campus. The young man could only hope the commentary was so ridiculous nobody would believe it.”

Hmmmm….. what’s a good strategy how to strike back against these people out to ruin your name? Maybe you can just flood the site with so much bullshit that no one will know what’s true from false? The readers might think that the post about you is so absurd that there’s no way you could have done said things…. I’d love to see suggestions in the comments.

This is a great idea. Too many people’s laptops get too hot because they don’t get enough air.
