    Done. And while you're at it, don't forget to vote for the Rockets Power Dancers, too: :D

    ... The Clippers, BTW, are super lame. I think they're the only team in their that, according to that bracket, has kept the same picture for every round. That's so weaksauce. They deserve to lose for their shameful lack of creativity! Go Houston!

    No one is asking if it was an "actual" 22 game win streak, unlike the Superman "Dunk".

    Haha, he could have easily missed that. He said it himself that he wanted to dunk it from as far as he can...That was so overhyped, but that birthday cake dunk was fantastic. Too bad the judges didn't know what they saw.

    Currently 66% to 35% in favour of the 22.

    And no, that isn't a typo... 101%!!



    35% for the non-dunk??? God damn.

    Does this mean that people with short attention spans really don't have short attention spans?

    22 nights of happiness >>>>>>>>> 5-minute excitement

    BTW, I think the "Superman DUNK" is legitimate, great performance by D Howard.

    I voted for the streak. But if the Rockets don't win in the first round, then 5 years from now fans will remember the dunk more than the streak.

    I think a lot of NBA players can draped themselves in Superman suit and dunk like Howard. Gerald green could have done that too. BUT 22 wins is only achieved/bettered by one other team and no more in history.

    maybe it was 65.5--rounded-->66
    and 34.5--rounded-->35
    100 101

    as far as teh contest, 22 wins in a row is a lot more impressive than Dwight's "dunk"

    Whoa, was this survery taken only in Florida? Even then, I don't see how people can be so irrational as to pick a single dunk over the second longest winning streak in NBA history. I don't even think the Superman dunk was Dwight's best of the night.

    Clutchfans have some nice discussions (whether it was a dunk or not) here in that evening:

    http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=142744

    Go to post #558 and see what I wrote.

    You can have your own definition of "SLAM DUNK" and keep on feeling good about it.

    I'm not sure, but I think we go up against Mutumbo's finger wag next round.

    Damn

    that dunk was sooo overrated.

    I dont care whether he threw it in or not...the dunk itself was only good because he wore the Superman attire.

    if he did that dunk in his normal gear w/out all the hoopla it would be a massive yawner...

    I laughed at Kenny Smith going on about "He's not a real man - he's a video game"

    BS Kenny. He's a real man, just with a nice imagination and good at generating some real hype about himself.

    Yep , we get the finger wag next round.


    No way that the 22 game win streak loses to the "Superman Drop-In"
