Slam Funk

I tried to watch NBA All-Star Saturday Night but feel asleep almost immediately. Nothing is as compelling as the slam dunk contest. Maybe that's why they save it for last.

I was hoping Dwight Howard wouldn't do the Superman dunk again. It just wouldn't be as compelling. But I heard he did, emerging from a phone booth offcourt. (Now if he'd jumped a standing phone booth and dunked, I would have been impressed.)

I hear Nate Robinson won by dunking over Howard. I would be glad to have a Knicks player as champion, but Robinson has a bit of an attitude and isn't the most coachable player.
