Top NBA Dunk Contest Winners of All-Time

Back in the 80s, the NBA’s yearly slam dunk contest gave the league popularity that it could only dream of. Unfortunately, the event died out a bit and became a little stale throughout the 90s. As the 21st century rolled around, the league’s athleticism and showmanship came back to the contest once again, allowing it to reach all new heights. As a life-long hardcore fan of the NBA, I have truly enjoyed seeing this event come back into popularity. It is easily the biggest thing I look forward to during each All-Star Weekend. Let’s take a look at who I think are the greatest dunk champions of all-time.

  • Dwight Howard – 2008 Champion

Although “Superman” won only one slam dunk contest, he also gets an assist in Nate Robinson’s 2009 victory. Sadly for Dwight, the fans and judges are usually wowed more by smaller NBA players who are participating. However, Howard is easily the greatest big player to ever bring home the title. Dwight defeated Gerald Green in the finals, and is also one of a handful of players to ever receive a first round perfect score of 100, doing it in both 2008 and 2009.

How to Save Money in Buying Cheap Basketball Goals?

Basketball is a great past time for you and your family so having a basketball hoop on the driveway is not a bad idea. It would make your place more sociable and you can even get rid of those addictive video games that can increase your electric bills. You can also spend more time with your kids and your family. It is a great way to have bonding and rest at the same time. All of this can happen if you would install your backyard or driveway with your own cheap basketball goals. But how do you get the cheapest one and still have the quality? Here are some ways to ponder.

If you’re looking for cheap basketball goals, know first your priority. Do you want to be a professional basketball player or you just want to have a past time? Do you need a professional basketball goal or just a simple goal? You need to know these things because they have different prices. Normally, professional basketball goals are more expensive than ordinary ones. So if you just want to kill time while playing basketball, pick the cheapest one but make sure it is still in good quality.
