6'11" - howard's height
12' 6" - sticker placement on backboard
d. howard had enough hang time to throw one down and use his off-hand to bring it up and slap the sticker on, so it's not as easy as it seems - even if he is a big man.
he already asked the nba to raise the rim to 12' last year for the dunk contest but they said no, so what's a big man to do?
