NEW YORK - Former University of Washington star and reigning NBA slam dunk champion Nate Robinson was arrested Tuesday in the Bronx for driving with a suspended license, according to the New York Post.

Police have not said why he was pulled over, but the Post reports Robinson Tweeted on his cell phone during the exchange with the police that he was pulled over for having dark-tinted windows.

"Cops pulled me over cuz my windows were 2 dark (but my windows were down) lol how funny is that," the Post reported he wrote.
