While he never entered the NBA’s annual slam dunk contest as a member of the Boston Celtics, Nate Robinson was, in the estimation of many, one of the best dunkers to ever play for the Celtics.
Nate Rob’s hops often went over like his sense of humor did with teammates: Both would have either your jaw on the floor or your brow furrowed deeply. In one classic combination of the two, Robinson dunked on his teammate of the moment, Shaquille O’Neal, while both were donning the green and white.
The Big Aristotle seemed to take it in stride, but if you have not yet seen this historic flush, take a look at the clip embedded below.
For good measure, Nate recreates the same dunk seven years later on a film set.
