[edit] A whole section for Slam Dunk Contests?

Is there any real justification for having a whole section devoted to Robinson's slam dunk contest performance? Granted, it's the only professional award he's won, and the way he won it was somewhat controversial (though that's more relevant to the contest rather than the player), but for players, winning an All Star weekend contest is, at best, a minor footnote in a career - after all, Robinson is a professional basketball player, not a professional slam dunk competitor. I don't think it warrants more than a mention in the intro. Ytny (talk) 00:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it's perfectly justified because it actually happened and because it's well-documented, and frankly, it's one of his few accomplishments. If undue weight is an issue, then I'd suggest expanding the article in general. hateless 01:29, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] nate robinson Vertical

nate Robinsons Vertical is at least 48 inches(4 feet) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.197.231.1 (talk) 04:29, 24 February 2007 (UTC).

Fair enough. But you have to cite a reliable source. Currently, our source says 43.5 inches and that's what we're going with. --Ytny (talk) 04:40, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
