Let's count the ways that this is a good day.

First, I just traded David Lee for Travis Outlaw in my fantasy basketball league. I wasn't happy about having to throw in free bone spurs to make the deal happen, but whatever — I'm delighted to add another Blazer to my virtual locker room.

Second, I had a chocolate dip donut from Tim Horton's. Man, so good.

And third, Magic center Dwight Howard, fresh off his first (and rare) triple-double, said Wednesday he has every intention to defend his slam-dunk title in February during All-Star Weekend in Phoenix. Brian Schmitz of the Orlando Sentinel reports:

"'I thought about that [Wednesday], actually,' Howard said. 'Trying to think about what dunks I can do.' [...] Howard said he'll have a new Web site up and running within the next few days, and on it he will ask fans to suggest dunks he can perform. 'I think that will be really cool,' he said."

Dime asks the obvious question — and I'll pose the same one to you — "What dunks would you suggest Superman try this second time around?"

Personally, I'm hoping for more comics-inspired theatrics, but with a villain twist. Like maybe something to do with the "Brotherhood of Evil Mutants". That'd make the Adidas family happy, right?

I'd like to see him try that one he talked about last year where he kisses the rim.

How about a dunk from the free throw line where he first has to MAKE a free throw?

I'm thinking with the recent popularity of the incredable hulk, he needs to emerge from the locker room seconds before his last dunk painted green. staying in character he walks on to the floor, lets out a primal scream and walks to the freethow line.
Now here's the tricky part. He's just going to run up and dunk the ball. But its got to be with the full force of the Hulk. Basically what I'm saying is if the backboard doesn't shatter, or the goal doesn't come down he just needs to start destroying stuff. Then he gets 10's from me.

I'm not impressed in the dunk Dwight did in that picture.. Yeah I would give 10 pts. for his creativity but 0 for the dunk..
He joined the slam dunk contest not the Creativity contest.. He didn't even touched the rim.. The judges were a bunch of fools.. D. Howard is a piece of joke in the slam dunk contest but a great big man.. Lakers all the way..

THen he should dress up as the Joker and have Jameer Nelson (on stepladder) hold a pencil face-out from the backboard, and then, well, you can figure it out.

he better do the superman dunk again and actually DUNK it this time
he should also do a dunk similar where he dunks over a life size cardboard cut out Shaq or maybe see if Shaq would be willing to participate in person

Um ValeriC just so you know the definition of a dunk says nothing about grabbing the rim, it simply states that the ball must be thrown thru with force, and Dwight certainly did that

wear a suit and an obama mask. put john mccains head on the ball. that would get more publicity than anything ever.

it should be like Superman II - he gives up his powers, walks sadly around in a Members Only jacket and gets the crap kicked out of him by the three-point contest winner

someone should be the first to do a 540 double pump.
If Travis Pastrana can do a double backflip on a moto...someone should be able to jump and spin 1 and a 1/2 times around for a dunk (and don't forget to pump). it is do-able...the way these guys jump.

Toss ball in air for a windmill with right hand and receive alley oop from Jameer with left hand = WIN. Thanks Dwight, remember my name when you win the Dunk Contest again. k3nnyda3tard aka k3n12ock

How about if he actually dunks it. Last year his winning dunk was from 2 feet inside the line that he made for himself and he still didnt get close enough to the rim to touch it. Maybe he should try winning a dunk contest by actually dunking the ball, not putting on a show and having the jet tell everybody "its over, its over!"

bounce ball off the scoreboard let it bounce once and then catch it in air and slam the hell out of it any way he can depending on the bounce
