All-Star Saturday night has superhero feel
In the comic books Superman is always able to foil the plans of Lex Luther and come out victorious in the end, Saturday night in Phoenix Lex Luther came away with the victory.
Nate "Lex Luthor" Robinson was able to dethrone the defending slam dunk champion Dwight "Superman" Howard in tonight's NBA Dunk Contest. Howard came out strong putting up two perfect scores in the first round of competition including dunking on a 12 foot goal just after he put on his superman cape which he did the year before.
"It is all about having fun," Howard said. "Hey, he won fair and square. The fans loved it. We tried to put on a good show. That's what it is all about at All-Star weekend. It doesn't matter who wins or loses."
Going into the final round Nate Robinson sported a kryptonite green uniform and shoes which was able to help him jump over the seven foot Superman to seal the win for the contest.
"I asked him yesterday in the elevator," Robinson said. "He was like, 'Hey, I'll do it.' I thought he was joking."
Robinson is a two time winner of the competition winning this year and in 2006.
