Nate deserved it. His first dunk looked good he was one of the top two there. His second dunk I think got points for being creative. He has to use his size tohis advantage. A guy under six foot jumping off anothers players back was just good show, which is half the scoring. I think most can agree a guy of his size doing his third dunk, looked impressive. His last dunk was just on another level though. It really took away from Howard's twelve foot dunk. I realize he place his hand on Howard's back but the air he got was amazing.

At 3:28, he does a dunk behind the free throw line and at 5:15 he goes through his legs after jumping a foot in front of the free throw line.

Pretty impressive video, but only the replays are worth watching since the cameraman has a bad angle on the first dunks.

There are plenty of guys that can't cut in the league and are great dunkers. See Harold Miner

What would be more impressive a little if these guys didn't run the length of the floor before taking off at the FT line. I've seen a HS players do this in games after first getting the ball at mid-ct.

Nah, I think this is the real reason for All-Star Weekend in Turkey. Start at 42 seconds

ETA: I think the player reactions from 2:12 to 2:44 are pretty great. Does anyone know who that is?
