Video: Nate Robinson's Kryptonite Dunk Over Dwight Howard
FanHouse —
by Brett Pollakoff Filed under: NBA All-Star Game, NBA VideosPHOENIX -- Here it is in all of its HD glory: the so-called "Kryptonite dunk" that got Nate Robinson this year's Slam Dunk title. After seeing it in person, and now watching the TNT feed for the first time, I wanted to tell Reggie Miller to be quiet (a little less politely) because all he's doing is hating. Nate may have gotten a little boost by placing his hand on Dwight's shoulder, but honestly, he would have gotten to the rim either way. Video: Nate Robinson's Kryptonite Dunk ...

Video: Nate Robinson Proves He is the Kryptonite to Dwight Howard’s Superman
Midwest Sports Fans —
In the ultimate Big Man v Little Man battle on Saturday night, diminutive Nate Robinson defeated defending Slam Dunk champion Dwight Howard in the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest.
The winning dunk was pretty incredible. Check out the video of Nate Robinson jumping over Dwight Howard to take the 2009 Slam Dunk content title:
But Nate Robinson was far from the only player who came up with impressive dunks on Saturday night. Dwight Howard proved his freakishness yet again by pulling out a taller basket and making clever use of a phone booth as a prop. Here is the video: ...

Weekly Wrap-Up: All-Star Edition

With the way I keep being out of town for weekends, maybe I should just call this the “Whenever I Feel Like It Wrap-Up.” Oh well. Anyway, as usual the Weekly Wrap-Up is your source for all the happenings and tidbits from the previous week in the NBA, all in rambling bullet-point form. - First, I have to address the Marion/O’Neal trade that went down last week. I was really down on this one for the Heat when I first read about it, but I’ve come around a bit now, especially after we learned Jamario Moon and Marcus Banks would be switching places as well. Miami gets out from the terrible Banks contract, and they bring in a true center to a roster desperately in need of size ...

I really do wonder why we still refer to this time of the year as the “offseason”.
Yes, I know that there are a lot of bandwagon fans out there who won’t check their team’s roster until they buy a program on opening day. For the rest of us, this is no time to be “off” at all.
With a flurry of rumors swarming the Raider franchise like a flock of reporters stalking A-Rod’s apartment, this so-called “offseason” is going to be hectic.
Here are just a few of the issues we’ll be tracking here at JBB. Stay ...

All Around the Net, by Michael Pueschel Superman Was Robbed First let me say that Dwight Howard was robbed of his third slam dunk contest title. If you didn’t see it, the Knicks’ Nate Robinson (he's all of 5’9) won for a dunk in which he jumped over the 6’11 Howard. I’ll give him this: it was pretty creative that he dressed all in green to be the kryptonite to Howard’s Superman. However, Howard had at least 2 dunks that were far far better than ...
"Kryptonate Grounded"....sort of
That NBA Lottery Pick —
I think there were a bunch of newly-crowned Nate Robinson fans after his performance of Krypto-Nate to Dwight Howard’s version of “Superman,” in the 2008 NBA Slam Dunk Contest. Well, the NBA decided to cash in on this phenomenon by creating a version of Nate Robinson t-shirt that was green and had on the back Robinson’s number four and “Kryptonate” on the back. However only the strongest force in the world could stop such a diabolical scheme and I am not talking Paris Hilton drunk at a night club. DC comics decided to put the hold on the shirt due to the potential copyright ...

Not Entirely Un-Nasty
ESPN.com - TrueHoop —
The playoffs are like the regular season, but with shorter rotations, more intense strategy and, typically, more physicality. Teams get sick of each other, and they get cranky. Try it in your pickup game -- keep the same two teams six or seven games in a row, and you'll be amazed at how the testiness ramps up. Someone shoving you in the hip while you attempt a jumper is something you play through once. The fifth time, though, you'll be using your mouth for sure to make sure it stops. At dinner the other night, one topic was the fact that these Finals have not really been about bitterness. We have seen more cool heads and less naked chippiness. ...
NBA Withdrawal – 10 Players Poised to Dominate Another Sport
Heels on Hardwood —
Shaq’s new reality show became the inspiration for this installment of “Listmania”. If you didn’t catch the first episode of Shaq v/s, Lang Whitaker over at Slam did a solid job of recapping it. With the premise being Shaq challenging other athletes at their own sport, I decided to take a look at the NBA and see which players would dominate another sport aside from Basketball.
Steve Nash – Soccer
This one was a no-brainer. His passion for the game has been well documented, and he happens to be quite crafty with his feet as seen in the video and head as displayed at ...

Whatever your favorite school calls their "Madness," it probably consists of some funny skits, songs, and some impressive high flying dunks. Well I can almost guarantee you that your school did not have what the fans saw at Pepperdine's "Orange and Blue Madness" on Friday night. Nate Robinson has won NBA Dunk Contests by jumping over Spud Webb in 2006 ...
