After winning two other NBA Dunk contests during All-Star weekend (1985, 1990), Wilkins witnessed Howard perform something no other dunk had ever done. Not even Wilkins himself.
During the 2008 NBA Dunk Contest, former Orlando Magic guard Jameer Nelson threw the ball to Howard before jumping just below the free throw line. The kicker: Howard performed this feat while wearing a ‘Superman’ cape, an outfit quirk that Wilkins argued deserved an automatic 10.
