Nate Robinson - 2006 NBA Slam Dunk Contest (Champion) 

a man that can make a dunk in between the legs (eastbay) and off two feet that's under 6 ft. is crazy...

he won this because its an athletic feat to be able to even touch half the net at 5'7 (nate may be listed as 5'9 but he's closer to 5'7) the fact that he's able to get so much vertical is astounding. if you're going to criticize it for lack of substance, you should also criticize the MJ dunk from the free throw line that won it. the beauty in MJ's dunk was the amount of air time he got which was another athletic feat bec otherwise, it was simply a one handed dunk, thats it. the beauty here is the sheer athleticism and amazing ability a guy a foot shorter than dunkers is able to display. honestly, it's insane how this guy is able to not only dunk but get enough air time to put the ball through his legs etc.. don't hate, you know you respect that.

Gotta love Andre cheering him on, like he wasn't even tryna win

lol kobe Bryant at 6:45 saying what the fuck

7:53 probably the only time a guy *actually* jumped over someone during a dunk, and the guy didn't need to duck or didn't get his head scraped by the dunker's nutsack.

6:46 Kobe:" WTF!"

Anyone see Shaq, Kobe, and Lebron's fashion choices? you can really tell what year this was even without looking at the title lol.

Charles: If that kid is 5'9 then im skinny😂😂😂😂😂

Bringing out Spudd was class. 16:15 "Give it up Houston" no one claps.

That's some bullshit Iggy got robbed

I Never been so impatient until this

6:45 Kobe said "what the fuck".

Jumping over a 5’8 gets you a 50, but jumping over a 7’5 gets you 47.

insane how high he can jump

"I'm not sure they're going to give him a lot of points, for jumping over another short guy."

8:40 why was Nate looking into my soul

His sheer level of athleticism and ability to do fancy dunks is insane.

andre igoudala got robbed, he should've won that year, and it was sad cause he thought he did and even the judges said he shouldve and the crowd started to boo when nate won

1:02 ''we both think you ugly ?''

Its amazing how humans can lift off like Nate or anyone shorter, impressive.

Great dunks, but idk man. I have a lot of respect for someone so short who can do the things Nate can do, but he had way too many attempts for the crowd to keep their energy level up.

Nates Effort always been 💯! One of the strongest NBA players ever especially for a guard salute Nate Robinson

14:00 AI: "We got Robbed!!!"

I TOLD YOU MOM. JORDANS MAKE YOU FLY

Nephew had an Amazing NBA career some of the most memorable exhibitions of skill and athleticism in NBA history !!!

The best dunk that Nate did to me was when he jumped over Spud Webb's head. That was pretty impressive. That elevation and pose in the air was special and he caught the ball at the highest point.

6:46 Kobe: wtf

This video hit one million views while i was watching it

I was on my feet the whole time when watched it live CRAZY BUNNIES!!

Endless attempts. What the hell were the rules this year?

Charles said, if this kid 5'9' I'm skinny lmfao 😂😂😂😂

Iggy might have got robbed, but I love the last nate Robinson dunk, even though it took him several tries. God Bless.

My inspiration!

damn nice dunks for someone his size

Iguodala was robbed by Robinson's 100 attempts.

This man was amazing also a great ball player all around loved him on my Knicks we didn't have alot lol

6:47 Kobe Bryant is like wtf?

6:45 Kobe said wtf haha

Spud Webb with the b-e-a-utiful assist coming in fresh off the bench haha 7:10

15:02 " the 1986 slam JUNK"

Even watching this now it I still react like the first time I saw it. Mind blowing shit

He Is Amazing

I’m here after he just got knocked out

Feelings turn into crying while seeing Kobe back😥❤️

Shaq and T.O. dressed like wise guys 😂😂😂😂😂

He ia my inspiration

nate robinson the goat man to get up like that at 5'9 everyone gotta show him respect

Kobes like "wtf? I thought Nate was gunna wear a cape man "

Rip Kobe

Robbed, Robbed, Robbed, Robbed, Robbed! AI GOT ROBBED so freaking bad. Glad he a champion and Finals MVP now

Whos here after Jake knock him down? 😂

This man has some serious hops. Keep in mind he’s only 5’9😨

6:45 Kobe like wtf😂😂😂

cry for Kobe, RIP..

P diddy in the corner wisperin' to Nate " time to be strong, don't stop now straight to the top now..."

Who was searching for rip Kobe...✋

i miss my manz Nate, he was about it fr

iggy should have won for sure. nate missed too many dunks and some werent that great.

Nate is like a fucking human frog mannnn keep up the good work bro

My reaction watching a dwarf slam dunk 6:46

Craziest bounce ever. While some 6'1" dudes barely dunk, this guy won a slam dunk contest.

nate robinson is 5'8" looks like the same height as spud webb 5'7"... thats crazy hops..

It's funny to think that he's still taller than Tom Cruise

7:39 Turkleton approves

Im 6'2 and cant even dunk the damn thing

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Nate. But his 5'9 + his vertical are the reason he won this dunk, I mean, a score of 49 for a 360? Iggy should have won this dunk contest.

Should take 1 point off for every missed dunk. Kill's the mystique of dunk

nate robinson is not the only small slammer. There is Spud Webb (5'7)

Kobe at 6:46 Lol

3:07 The old guy is bill russell 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

He can’t get Depressed he play for the Knicks😂😂😂

I feel bad for the player when they keep missing the dunks. It must be very embarrassing, but I know every dunk they’re doing is extremely hard, especially for Nate

Nate Took PEDs and he was allowed to dunk in games by opposing players. He was a fan favorite and considered a draw for ticket sales. Any Good Defensive player could easily stop him, but he was given a pass. Then he died, by getting punched in the face. RIP.

Let’s give him 50 goes at it & still rate it the same as if he did it 1st time! Stolen from igy pathetic rules..

This must look like the most incredible dunking show in the world without all the misses.

What’s the song at the end

man can fly

TURK!

how many friggin tries did you got 2006?

a decade ago today

RIP Kobe 🙏🏽

the announcers made this funny. "He was a step to slow," "Yeah, like ben johnson on steroids" lol

Ty Lou and rip Hamilton sitting there looking like the Youngbloodz haha

Look at those hops doe

did kobe said WTF 6:46

they got all the Ogs on that arena.

Kobe at 6:47 " what the fuck?!"

How long did it take him

What shoes are those?

damn he had those hops

Nice slam dunk Nate Robinson 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀💎💵

DAMMIT TURK

That was a disgrace, the state boxing commission never should have sanctioned that fight

I met Nate Rob while going to school like 6 in the morning and he got arrested for a DUI. I was maybe 16, and we was about the same height…. 5’7 Still , #DunkContest🐐

He won cause he was short, NOT because he was the better dunker!

I forgot how many chances he had to make his dunks. Absolutely ridiculous.

nate nate

nate robinson proove the shorter players can make incredible plays,3 times winner on dunk contest.........WHAT THE!!!

bushhit why they dunk many times to try? they shud have 2:00 mins try or 3 tries only

6:47 Kobe - "What the fuck?"
