3 Time Champ
Dallas, TX – New York’s Nate Robinson is the NBA’s first three-time slam dunk champion.
Robinson barely won another title, garnering 51 percent of the fan vote to hold off Toronto rookie DeMar DeRozan, who advanced to the final round after getting a perfect score of 50 on his second dunk of the first round.
The final dunk for the 5-foot-9 Robinson came when he threw the ball off the backboard, grabbed it and turned midair for a two-handed backward slam.
Robinson was joined on the court for the final round by several Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, though they weren’t used as props for any of his dunks. But he did celebrate his final slam by grabbing a pair of silver and blue pompoms from one of them and waving them in the air.
