Nate Robinson jumps over Biff on Letterman, Video. Nate Robinson is just a freak. I know jumping over Biff is not the same as dunking on Dwight Howard, but this is pretty cool. We also learn, via this clip, that he gave the slam dunk money to his Mom and Dad. What a good kid. Hat [...]

Video: Nate Robinson Dunks Over Dwight Howard in Slam Dunk Competition

I'm pretty sure this is the dunk that gave Nate Robinson the edge over Dwight Howard in the Slam Dunk Competition at All-Star Weekend. I mean I thought Adrian Wilson and Joey Gathright were freaks of nature with their ridiculous verticle leaps. That was until I saw tiny 5'9" Nate Robinson hurdle 6'11" Dwight Howard. Witness crazy athleticism:

New Class Action Suit Accuses Thomas and Knicks' Owner of Creating Hostile Basketball Environment

Tue, 02 Oct 2007 22:48:35 -0500

Superfans Woody Allen and Spike Lee join fans' rights activist Melvin Fink in charging Knicks management with "Enron-level" malfeasance, causing "undue pain, anguish and, per Woody, unacceptable levels of ennui" For Woody Allen, the breaking point came during a mid-season game against the Washington Wizards. The Knicks were mounting a late game run to pull within three points, but instead of a racing pulse, Woody could barely stifle a yawn and fight the urge to race home for a glass of warm Ovaltine. "When Marbury dribbled into traffic and threw up an ill-advised finger roll, normally I'd want to see him beaten senseless with one of his $15 sneakers. My blood would be boiling. I mean, literally boiling. In fact, I once badly scalded two opticians sitting in Row Three when little Nate Robinson airballed a slam dunk. I'd be gripped by total, irrational rage, like an old Jew from Miami sending back a cold bowl of oatmeal. But all I felt was…intense indifference. If I wanted indifference I'd still be having once-a-month sex with Mia." For Spike Lee it was the time his old nemesis Reggie Miller came back to the Garden as a member of the Pacers' broadcast team. "For years, Reggie coming into town would get me all juiced. I hated the motherfucker. Hated. H-a-t-e-d. This time, I was almost happy to see the skinny, big eared bastard. I couldn't understand why. It was then that I realized that something was radically wrong. I just felt, I don't know…uncomfortable. Disoriented. Like coming home and finding out the locks have been changed and your wife is upstairs with a man that looks a lot like Isiah Thomas."
