Seattle native Nate Robinson won the Slam Dunk contest at this year’s NBA All Star Weekend in Phoenix. He beat last years winner Dwight Howard.

After his dunks, little Nate shouted out “That’s the way we do it in the 206!” 206 is Seattle’s area code. 

As I have said here on Sports Inner City Online, their are many players in the NBA from the Seattle area like Robinson, Brandon Roy, Jamal Crawford, Rodney Crawford, Spencer Hawes, Jason Terry, Marcus Williams, Aaron Brooks and even the D-League leading scorer, Will Conroy who will be in the NBA real soon.

And their is a young fella on Louisville, Terrence Williams from Seattle who will for sure be in the NBA in a year or two.

And their is a young dude on the University Of Washington Huskies, Isiah Thomas who is also from the Seattle area who also will be in the NBA as well as the U-Dub’s big center John Brockman.

Congraulations to the New York Knick’s and Seattle’s resident Nate Robinson for winning the 2009 NBA Slam Dunk Contest.     Gordon Curvey
