Dwight Howard who believes that with out creativity one cannot succeed in the Slam Dunk Competition, added spice to his performance and mesmerized the spectators. Howard indeed impressed everyone by dominating in both the rounds of competition. He scored 50 in his first round dunks and received more than 78% votes from the fans in his finals. Howard did two beautiful dunks in different rounds that are unthinkable by the others. He knew very well that people do not wish to see the repetitive dunks but want some thing different and spicy.

Howard said he had inspired by Andre Iguodala for the first dunk, in which he tossed the ball to himself with his right hand to the back of the backboard and caught it with his left hand and remaining at the back of the glass threw it down the basket. Later Howard revealed that he was practicing it for two years. In the finals he made another class dunk by tossing the ball from the left wing and caught it with his left hand on right side and threw it down with his right hand. Though it was an extremely difficult dunk, Howard made it look easy with his practice. He did the Superman dunk in between the two spectacular dunks.
