Using her entire body, Robyn Slain is one of only three women in the U.S. who can spin 10 basketballs at the same time!

Spinning Spectacle

Robyn is not just your average mom and she's not your typical athlete.

With patience and skill, Robyn mesmerizes audiences with her dribbling, juggling, and spinning tricks on the court. But Robyn isn’t new to basketball.

She played in college at Southwest Baptist University in Missouri. Since then, Robyn has wowed crowds during halftime shows for several NBA teams, including the Magic, Hornets, Cavs, Pacers, and Rockets.

She’s been featured twice on ESPN's Top 10 plays of the day for her performances. Robyn has also performed at WNBA games, college games, and both the men’s and women’s Final Four.
