Nate Robinson – The Dunk Contest Winner
Reporting from Dallas – Nate Robinson will give fans a little extra.
He has vaulted over 6-foot-11 Dwight Howard and donned a great-green New York Knicks uniform with green shoes as part of his All-Star dunk contest routines.
Therefore it needs to have come as not surprising when he grabbed a couple blue pompons at a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Saturday night inside American Airlines Center and thrust them to the air to celebrate his final dunk.
Robinson’s pass over backboard for a double-pump reverse dunk helped the 5-foot-9 dynamo defend his title and become the first three-time dunk contest champion right after edging Toronto’s DeMar DeRozan with 51% of fan voting via text messaging and the Internet.
