Los Angeles, (AP) -- The Los Angles Clippers were well represented in the 2009 All-Star Saturday night, as they sent forward Josh Smith and Manu Ginobili to represent the city of LA. Smith was able to capture his 2nd Slam dunk contest title over superstar Lebron James. Smith perhaps had one of the best rounds in Slam dunk history in the 1st round. He began his first dunk at the top of the key, bounced off the floor off the backboard, caught it, and put it through his legs twice earning a roar from the crowd. He followed it up with a kick-pass to himself over his head to dunk his arm through the rim earning another 50. While the final round was a bit anti-climatic, Smith's performance will still go down in history.

However, Ginobili would fall short in the 3-point contest, losing to Jason Terry in final round 22-16, despite winning the first round 24-22. The Argentine was redhot in the first round, hitting all 5 moneyballs. However, he slowed down quite considerably in his final round, allowing the "Jet" to earn the crown.
