Great play by Nate Robinson, I couldn't see the foul, but there definitely could have been one. It doesn't take anything away from the Rockets win though lol.
Heck of a play by Nate on that. I saw it on SC and they replayed it countless times. To Yao's defense...he didn't really jump. Regardless, there's 2 feet difference in height between those two, so that's still a spectaculary block and amazing display of leaping ability and timing by Nate.
HAHA ! When my homie told that to me in school... Depression of school dissapeared and I had a smile on my face... ;D SICKKKK ;D BTW Shaddy, that clip really fits with that topic. ;D
On the Yao Ming - Nate play, was the block itself clean, and the foul afterwards? <div class="quote_poster">Schaddy Wrote</div><div class="quote_post"> Who'd have thought that a poster involving Yao and Nate would end up looking like that </div> lol the Knicks lost by 14 in that game, Nate is estatic. I guess something else must have made him happy.

If called, it would have been a ticky tack foul, especially considering the foul was AFTER he blocked Yao.

<div class="quote_poster">Answer_AI03 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">thats the difference between yao and shaq. that would never happen to shaq.</div> What is the difference? that Nate has blocked Yao? Well I'm sure plenty of players have blocked Shaq that are under 6'6. Those kind of things don't define a player, it is the entire career of thousands of shots that really defines them. Although we like to sum up a person to one play.
I kind of hated Nate Robinson since last year's dunk contest. The guy just won the dunk contest against Iggy because he was so short. They liked his dunk more because he was short. Thats my opinion though. Also, on that play I give him props for the block but he fouled Yao as well. Good play though.

He hit Yao in the face after he blocked the shot. Didn't notice that until I just watching the clip again. It was clean until he followed all the way through. 5'8 blocking 7'5, incredible having a 21 inch advantage in height. It's the equalvalent to the time Tyrone Bogues blocked Patrick Ewing a long long long long time ago lol.
