Nate Robinson Leads NBA Dunk Contestants Online Sportsbook. Online sportsbook odds will be on the board for the NBA Slam Dunk contest next month in Dallas and defending champion Nate Robinson will be one of the contestants. Robinson will be trying to become the first three-time winner vs. the slam dunk odds at the sportsbook.
Online sportsbook has Robinson as a leading contender to win the Slam Dunk contest again. He will be joined on the sportsbook odds board by Charlotte’s Gerald Wallace and the Lakers Shannon Brown. The other player in the contest will be the winner of a dunk-off between the Clippers’ Eric Gordon and Toronto’s DeMar DeRozan. The dunk-off will be held at the half of the rookie game between the rookies and the sophomores.
The field for the Slam Dunk contest is definitely a disappointment to many at the online sportsbook. LeBron James was considering participating but he has decided against it. That puts the focus on Robinson and it could also put the focus on Shannon Brown. He has gotten a lot of support from his teammates, fans and Orlando center Dwight Howard who was the sportsbook winner in 2008. Howard was the runner-up last season to Robinson. Brown has gotten a lot of attention for his dunks that can be seen on YouTube. His head coach Phil Jackson is all in favor of Brown being in the contest. “I hope he makes it,” Jackson said. “It would be good for him.” Brown is likely to be a popular choice at the online sportsbook along with Robinson who is the defending champ.
The Slam Dunk contest still gets attention at the sportsbook but it is nowhere near as popular as it once was. There simply doesn’t seem to be a lot more the players can do. Brown makes a lot of sense as an entrant since he has been getting views on YouTube for his dunking. The Slam Dunk contest is just one of four things available to gamblers at the online sportsbook during the NBA All-Star break. The NBA-All Star game gets most of the attention at the online sportsbook but there is also the rookie-sophomore game and the three-point contest in addition to the dunk contest. Many people forget all about the rookie game but it has proven to be interesting to watch and wager on at the online sportsbook in recent seasons.
