I just thought I would start a thread so we could talk about this weekends festivities.
Tonight was the Celeb Game and the Rookie Challange, I figure we will be talking more about the dunk contest tomorrow night
(Side note in case someone didnt see, Marion to Toronto and J. Oneal to Miami)

Howard should have saved the 12 foot rim for the end. That was insane.

I thought it looked much closer to 11 feet. They showed one angle where the rim looked lower than the top of the square on the real goal.
EDIT: Just re-watched the video and the rim looked like it was at the top of the square which is 11' 6". It may have been the angles and the goal really could have been 12 feet. Either way it's impressive.

Howard knew very well he could easily dunk on a 12 foot rim, or he wouldn't have asked for it. He certainly had plenty of clearence, whatever the actual height of that rim was he could have gotten it from almost a foot higher.
