2007 NBA Dunk Contest had been added to post #3. Back when Dwight Howard was still seen as an under-appreciated performer.

2008 has been added. Remembered best for Gerald's cupcake and Dwight's Superman, but Jamario wasn't too shabby either.

2009 - added to post #3. Year of the dreaded Nate Robinson step-up dunk.

2011 NBA Slam Dunk Contest has been added to post #4. I believe it is unfortunate that it may be best remembered for Blake Griffin's car dunk. It offered much, much more.

2012 has been added, but the quality is rough, both in terms of visual clarity and dunk performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u36wehXwY4w

2013 is has also been added.

Pretty great article on Vince Carter's 2000 performance: http://www.cbssports.com/nba/feature...anity-was-born

"Not only did I want the score, but I wanted to wow you," Carter said. "I want to strike fear into the next guy. Just let people know, ‘Yeah, you thought this is what I could do but now you're getting to see it live and it's better than expected.' That's what I'm trying to get out of this."

McGrady needed to know what was about to happen.

"He's like, ‘Cuz, what the hell are you going to do?'" Vince remembers with fondness and glee in his voice. "I was like, ‘Man, just bounce it and step back.'"

Is it safe to say Dwight Howard will never be that guy again?
