Part 2 left off with Fred Jones claiming the dunk title off of Jason Richardson in 2004....
The final part of this mailday series sees Josh Smith claiming the 2005 dunk title before Nate Robinson dominated the dunk contest taking three titles in 2006, 2009 and 2010, interrupted only by Gerald Green in 2007 and the almighty Dwight in 2008.
Nate Robinson 2006, 2009 and 2010 dunk champ - no other team or personal NBA accolades.
An inspirational dunker for sure, but sorry to say, imo, one of the most overrated dunkers in the history of the event!
05-06 UD Reflections - Future Reflections RC /1499 - Reflections is definitely up there in terms of my favourite looking sets, that mirror reflection is pretty unique.
2005-06 SP Signature Edition RC / 499 - the pic makes the card, just screams Nate Robinson! ...and almost an ebay 1/1!
2006-07 SP Game Used Edition - Authentic Fabrics Gold / 100 - card is kind of meh, but the gold versions aren't as easy to come across as you'd might think....
Gerald Green - 2007 Dunk Champ - No other NBA team or personal accoldaes. For those of you who don't know, Gerald basically had half of his ring finger amputated as a kid which means he has trouble palming the ball and thus relies on cuffing the ball, two handed dunks or windmills...

2005-06 Upper Deck Trilogy Rookie Premiere RC /999 - I'm a sucker for anything acetate, these are chunky boys more like the 'glass' cards. Really nice in hand.
2005-06 SP Signature Edition - Scripts for Success Auto / 200 - as some of the more hardcore gamers amongst us might say, 'G G' indeed!
Josh Smith 2005 NBA Dunk Champ - and all rookie team berth and made the 09-10 NBA All Defensive 2nd Team
Josh SMith's Dunks - 2005 Slam Dunk Championship
2012-13 Panini Spirit of the Game - bit of a trowaway insert, but just liked the picture of J-Smoove taking flight in the Hawks jersey, which certainly captures the spirit of the game.
2007-08 Topps Stadium Club 1st Day Issue /1999 - Sign me up for any first day issue featuring any sort of holofoil. Love the concept, love the finish and love the pic of him cocking that arm back for a big finish on the home court. Nicer, cleaner looking card than many more expenseive modern ones imo.
2004-05 Upper Deck Trilogy RC - Rookie Premiere Level 2 /999 - Again, chunky acetate and sweet loking cards...definitely among my favourite looking RCs.
2006-07 Topps Triple Threads Emerald /199 - nothing that special about these, but the rainbow base set chase does appeal to the crazy desire to start and not finish and other quest!
2012-13 Totally Certified Memorabilia - Totally Red Prime /49 (game worn) - If only he was wearing a red Hawks uniform.... Thick card and a thicker patch, NOICE!
2004-05 SP Signature Edition Authentic Signatures - Rookie Auto (on card) - So nice I bought it twice, actually I probably have 4 or 5 of thse now - lol Should do a group shot one of these days. Wow - they look flawles in hand but the ol' scanner really butchered that second card!
2008-09 Upper Deck Radiance - Inked auto /99 - Radiance is a great looking productand Inked has some really nice potential conceptually, but this card doesn't seem to mesh. Still, not goign to complain about an auto /99.
2004-05 SP Authentic - Rookie Authentics Auto /1499 - well designed an incorproates that big on card auto perfectly.
Well that'll doozer for another mailday, nothing high end, but a bit of variety for the mailday thread. It;s always godo to see what people have lyign about, so thanks for having a look, a read and big props if you happen to leave a comment too!
