Last night, at the American Airlines Arena, Nate Robinson became the first player to win the slam dunk contest three years in a row at the NBA All Star festivites. He won 51% of fans' votes over DeMar DeRozan with a dunk. Here it is:

Robinson noted the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders' involvement, "The best thing [I did], I brought them with me right here, the Cowboys cheerleaders. I asked them if they can help me with a dunk and they did their job, and I did mine... There's a hundred of them and I picked the best four." Still, evenTNT's broadcast team seemed sort of bored by the event and commented how there was little buzz in the crowd.

    FYI, Nate Robinson has not won three slam dunk contests in a row. He won in 2006, 2009, and this year; Gerald Green won in 2007 and Dwight Howard in 2008.
