Yea I saw it on Sports Center this morning. Thta is crazy that he even tried to do it.

Yeah I saw it on Sportscenter too.

I didn't know it was Robinson, but when I saw it I thought to myself (I bet that is Nate Robinson LOL).

He had a crazy dunk in the Dunk Contest a year or so ago.

There is a difference between Yao and Robinson. Yao is tall with no hops. Robinson is short with MAD HOPS!!!

Imagine if Robinson was 6'6" or 6'8"...... (with the same jumping ability).

Thanks
Mike

 

[Quincy8Douby]

dont think that would be possible though... he would be bigger and heavier, so it wouldn't be as easy for him to jump... but man 5'9 with those hops is sick.

 

[randallcards]

thats nuts!!

 

[champb21]

it is nuts that such a little guy. i look up to that now little people can beat taller people in basketball. lol

 

[Stang81]

Yeah I didn't think about being taller = more weight LOL.

He has hops though for sure!! I wonder if he did the high jump in highschool.

Thanks
Mike

well I mean he was originally scouted to Washington U for football... he was a RB, but guess decided to take up basketball and was good.

 

[BigDAlcala]

I guess they're gonna have to start booking Nate as a center.

lol i like how yao pretended to be hurt.I think he was just embaressed.

 

[Quincy8Douby]

Well I think anyone would be embarrased being blocked by someone nearly 2 feet shorter than you.

 

[lafastbreak]

lmao now thats what you call embarresing

 

[17jeremy]

Well I think anyone would be embarrased being blocked by someone nearly 2 feet shorter than you.

yea but he should'nt play hurt makes him look like a wimp.Although he is one.

 

[Quincy8Douby]

nah but seriously, if you watch the end of the dunk, nate's hands come down and hit yao in the face... watch carefully. He really did get hit... but not sure how hard it was.

 

[17jeremy]

oh yeah i saw it your right you have to watch carefuly though to see it.Im sure that would'nt really hurt a 7 foot man though but thanks for pointing that out i didn't see that.His elbow kinda smacks him a bit.
