Dwight Howard is a center for the Orlando Magic. In the second round of the 2009 NBA dunk contest, Howard had a second hoop brought on to the court and raised to a height of 12 feet. After successfully slamming it in, he earned a 50 and made it to the final round. However, Howard, who won the competition in 2008, failed to defend his championship and lost the title to the New York Knicks' Nate Robinson.
