NEW YORK, Jan. 18 (UPI) -- New York's Nate Robinson is returning to the field to defend his dunk contest title at next month's NBA All-Star weekend in Dallas.
Robinson, a 5-foot-9, fourth-year pro, won last year's slam dunk contest, adding that to his 2006 title. Four players, including Michael Jordan, have won the contest twice but no one owns three NBA dunk championships.
