Just got an e-mail:

  • Nate Robinson
  • Dwight Howard
  • Gerald Green
  • Tyrus Thomas

I'm going to write it a different way:

  • Nate Robinson
  • Gerald Green
  • Tyrus Thomas
  • Dwight Howard?

Dwight Howard would be a very powerful candidate to win an event they should invent called "posterizing in traffic." But this event? With the rules and the judges? It's gymnastics. The most macho gymnastics of all time, but gymnastics all the same. Have you seen the world's best gymnasts? They're tiny, nimble, and creative. The only gymnasts that are 6-11 are the ones that are standing on the shoulders of other gymnasts.



I know Larry Nance could dunk, and he was pretty tall. I'm just saying, my money is on everybody else.



You can see career dunk highlights of all four on NBA.com.
