Today, however, was the most lackluster All-Star Saturday in recent memory. I was impressed with Steve [...]

Nate Robinson to defend his Slam Dunk contest crown

January 18, 2010

The 2010 Sprite Slam Dunk contestants were announced today, and Tracy McGrady and Allen Iverson were surprisingly absent. Jokes aside, it will be an exciting crew this year with four legit dunkers.
