His high-flying forays that usually end in an arousing slam dunk is accompanied with a soft jumper. Entered the conscious of many NBA fans at the 2002 NBA All-Star Weekend by capturing the NBA.com Slam Dunk presented by RealOne title and the MVP of the 'got milk?' Rookie Challenge. He then became the only player other than Michael Jordan to win back-to-back dunk contests by repeating the title in 2003.
