So, here's a little more recent basketball history:

This past weekend was the weekend of the all-star competitions and the all-star game. On Saturday night Nate Robinson (5' 8") and Dwight Howard (6' 11") went head to head in the final round of the slam dunk contest. In the end Nate Robinson won jumping over Dwight Howard for his final dunk. Talk about an impressive vertical! If you missed this amazing event I highly suggest searching for it on youtube.
