There aren’t that many things we consider to be indisputably, universally courageous. Running into a burning building, that’s up there. Plenty of things get offhandedly referred to as brave — eating really spicy food, going out in public in pajamas — but are definitely not. To perform in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest is likely not high on many people’s list of what constitutes as courageous, but it’s a hill I will stubbornly camp out on. Until recently, it was a lonely hill, but when three-time Dunk Contest Champion Nate Robinson joins you on the hill, it’s lonely no longer.
