Nate Robinson wants to beat LeBron James in this season's Slam Dunk Contest.

"It's a definite only if LeBron does it," Robinson said.

Last season, James expressed interest in competing for the slam dunk title in 2010.

"To be in that dunk contest with LeBron, I think that would be awesome," Robinson said. "I just want to win. Beating him would be better than anything."

Alan Hahn also asked Robinson about Stephon Marbury's recent criticism of the Knicks. In response, Robinson lowered his eyes to the ground and shook his head, seemingly more sad than angry. "We're praying for him," Robinson said.
