New York Knicks' Nate Robinson 3-time dunk champion

Nate Robinson becomes the NBA’s first three-time slam dunk champion, and that’s just enough for him. The New York Knicks basketballer says he’s done with the marquee event of Saturday night’s All-Star festivities.

“No, no, no, no, no. I don’t think I can bear that anymore. I’m just happy with this third one,” he said. “This is the last one.”

Nate Robinson barely won another title, garnering 51 percent of the fan vote to hold off Toronto rookie DeMar DeRozan in a largely forgettable dunk contest.

DeRozan advanced to the final round after getting a perfect score of 50 on his second dunk of the first round.

After bringing several Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders on the court with him, Robinson’s final dunk came when he threw the ball off the backboard, grabbed it and turned midair for a two-handed backward slam.
