03.11.08 D-LEAGUER DOES DWIGHT HOWARD’S DUNKS
Brent Petway of the Idaho Stampede, whom you may know better as the NBA Development League Dunk Contest Champion (or… not at all), has not only challenged Dwight Howard to a dunk contest, he showed that a mere mortal in a backwater state playing for a minor league team can perform the miraculous feats of athleticism we saw at the NBA's dunk contest. Of course, when Howard did his dunks, thousands of people burst into thunderous applause, and a panel of NBA greats held aloft signs that read "10" while today's brightest basketball stars fell over themselves in disbelief.
This is pretty much the same thing, except it's five people in an otherwise empty arena clapping politely.

D-LEAGUER DOES DWIGHT HOWARD’S DUNKS
The sad thing is, this took place at halftime of one of Boise's games.
+1 Tim. I lolled on that one.
Maybe if our guy Brent put as much practice into his mid-range game and defense as he did in copying Howard's dunks, he might get a chance to participate in the NBA's version of the game.
Needs more cupcakes.
I saw no Dwight Howard, from two feet, from the free throw line, superman cape dunk. What a pussy. Plus he looks like he has downs. He should be in the "3rd grade reading level development leauge".
Wait. Wait.
There is a D-League All-Star Game? Hasn't this inclusion business gone on long enough? I just seems contradictory.
@ swany, of course this is a D-League all-star game…haven’t you read any of Simmons’ articles???
Why the fuck would I read that shit?
Brent Petway found Harold Minors ideas intriguing and subscribed to his newsletter.
Who are Brent Petway and Harold Minors?
This guy thinks he's NBA level?
Puh-lease, I bet he only has 2 illegitimate kids.
I remember when the dunk contest was cool, it was 1986….
If I saw this guy in a Superman cape, I would politely direct him to the short bus' bus stop.
Someone needs to splice various Dikembe Mutombo reactions at dunk contests into this video. Then you'd have something.
He really went nuts over that dude in the vest.
Hey, yesterday I played along to a whole Yo-Yo Ma Cd, do I need to make a video calling out Yo Yo Ma for a damn Violin Throwdown!
No just kidding, only pussies play the violin. But on a more serious note, this is bull, and right up there with my Yo Yo Ma example. I almost hope Dwight takes him up on it, but I fear for the fabric of the space-time continuum if he is forced to develop Dunks that are EVEN MORE SICK than what he displayed at the recent Dunk Contest.
Missed High Five at 3:21
That makes the whole clip.
White boy shakes his hand then goes in for a failed pound. Best part of the video by far.
i didnt watch the whole thing. I kind of guessed that then end of the video would be dude putting his gray coveralls back on after being summoned to the cafeteria by the principal. And dont forget the sawdust stuff…..one of the eighth graders threw up her tuna casserole all over the floor.
was i right?
