Kryptonate Didn't Win, Superman Lost.


This emerald colored sprite is your 2009 Slam Dunk Champ. This doesn't bother me because of the dunks Nate Robinson did. His dunk where he jumped over Dwight Howard in the finals was downright epic, even if he needed to push off Dwight's shoulder and still rubbed his junk on Dwight's head. He's like 5'8 and jumped over a 7 footer...and then he dunked a basketball. I'm 6ft tall and I can barely touch rim with no one in my way.

I also admit that the green jersey to make him Kypto-Nate to Dwight Howard's "Superman" was a nice touch.

The thing is... Dwight Howard should have won, but he did his dunks in the wrong order. For his 2nd dunk in the first round, he brought out a 12 foot hoop, ducked into a phone booth, came out in his Superman cape, and threw in a Jameer Nelson pass off the backboard with ease. Between the theatrics and the actual dunk, this was my favorite dunk of the night. He got a 50 on the dunk, which is a perfect score for those uneducated, but he only needed a 36 to advance.

So this meant that after "KryptoNate" jumped over him, he came back in the finals with the tired, played out, not cool since MJ did it, Dr. J free throw line dunk. This dunk doesn't work well for a 7 footer. It just didn't look that great. I'm just saying, if you come out of the phone booth and dunk on the 12 foot hoop in the Finals, you win, Dwight.

So, because you did your dunks in the wrong order, Superman lost to a sub-6 footer in green shoes.

Oh, and you're gonna need to step it up next year, because LeBron officially called you out during the contest by entering next years competition.
