The reason why Howard was selected is also very simple and crude. He is a rare center dunk champion in NBA history!

The God of Basketball, Dr. J, Human Movie Essence, Black Mamba, and Warcraft. The 2017 Slam Dunk Contest will be judged by five of them. Three legends and two current players, but everyone knows that Kobe and Howard have basically made reservations in advance.

Two spots in the Hall of Fame.

At the same time, NBA officials also specifically noted in the report that these five people also have three irreplaceable hard conditions:

1. At least one slam dunk title. Among the five, only Dr. J is not the NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion, but he is the 1976 ABA Slam Dunk Contest champion and is the undoubted first-generation super dunk player.

2 Top-level actual dunkers have demonstrated their dunking skills in actual NBA competitions and have a large number of high-quality actual dunks.

3 Undoubted league superstars at the peak of their careers. To put it simply, he was guaranteed to be selected to the All-NBA First Team once and was an eight-time All-Star.

Being selected for a period of time means that this player was the strongest player at the same position at the peak of his career, and was one of the strongest among the five positions in the NBA.

And being an All-Star for eight times means that he can maintain his dominance for a long time in the cruel NBA league, rather than being a short-lived meteor player.

In the history of the NBA, there are only these 5 people who can perfectly meet the above three conditions.

No wonder when the list of judges was announced, many fans believed that this was the most valuable session in NBA history.

The last time the judging panel of a slam dunk contest could come close to being as valuable as this was the 2007 dunk contest.

At that time, in order to build momentum for the dunk contest, the league deployed various resources and relationships, and finally found a list of judges for the dunk contest similar to this one.

The only difference is that in the 2007 Slam Dunk Contest, one of the five judges was "demigod" Vince Carter, and this time it was "Warcraft" Howard.

The other four are basically the same, at most they are 10 years older.

In terms of dominance in the field of dunks, Carter is obviously far superior to Howard, at least two levels higher.

But in terms of personal career honors, Howard also far surpasses Carter, and the height he reached in the league during his heyday was also Howard's advantage.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to call this session the most valuable judging panel in history!

From the participating players to the participating judges, they are almost infinitely closer to perfection. The topic of "The Most Luxurious Slam Dunk Contest in History" has also successfully broken through and attracted the attention of countless people.
