Nate wins the stunk contest


Nate Robinson has become the first person to ever win three NBA Slam Dunk Contest championships. Tonight, Nate the Great won in what might have been the worst Slam Dunk Contest of all time. With no big stars in the lineup, thanks to LeBron saying no, Dwight Howard bailing out, and Dwayne Wade denying, the contest was a huge disappointment. Shannon Brown had huge expectations, but his dunks flat out stunk. He had no creativity and zero originality. Gerald Wallace was equally as boring. At least DeMar DeRozan and Nate showed a little flare, but the dunk contest was so bad that Dwight Howard was laughing from the sidelines at the poorness of the dunks. When Nate brought out the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, I thought things might get a little more interesting, but no, instead the cheerleaders just stood and watched. I love Nate and I'm happy he won, but the only reason he did, was because the competition was so poor. Still though, three wins in the dunk contest is very special and although Nate might not be the best basketball player for winning actual games, he sure knows how to entertain a crowd.
