Dunk Contest winner

For basketball fans, there are certain plays that make us scream out uncontrollably in glee, awe, and astonishment. Kenyon Martin threw a pass straight up into the air; waiting there were the arms of Josh Smith, who proceeded to gracefully maneuver his legs around Martin's head. Then, in a burst of creativity, he pumped the ball before the throw down, reminiscent of Jordan. Josh Smith's dunk was awesome.

But the dunk of the night belonged to Amare Stoudemire, with an assist, no surprise, from Steve Nash. Stoudemire through a perfect pass off of the backboard and onto the unkempt locks of the Canadian point guard. From Nash's head the ball flew into the air, where Stoudemire grabbed it, spun around past 180 degrees and left all who witnessed in shock. However, Josh Smith went retro, putting on a Dominique Wilkins jersey and executing a two-handed windmill from outside of the paint. Lastly, Smith went 360 degrees, switched the ball into his left hand and put the ball through the hoop for the victory.


Josh Smith jumped over Kenyon Martin of the Denver Nuggets and into dunk contest immortality.
