Day 111 of 170: Nate Robinson is Your Dunk Champion

Night two of all star weekend is over, and just what I wanted to see, Nate Robinson wins the dunk competition (while Daequan Cook ousted Jason Kapono for in the Three-Point Shootout and Derrick Rose has mad skillz).

Now props to Robinson for a very creative KryptoNate dunk to win this thing (the green ball and shoes were an especially nice touch), but come-on, how many times can he basically pull off the same dunk and have people go crazy over it?

In case you missed the dunk competition because you were spending some quality sexy time with a significant other last night, JE Skeets ranks the dunks in order of their goodness and gives Dwight 3 of the top 5 dunks of the night. Or, if you’re quick, you can watch the whole thing on Youtube:
