Pacquiao-Solis Match, click here to watch
The beauty of sports rely sometimes on unexpected and extraordinary plays. The fight of David and Goliath is always beloved for it inspires many to understand that it is not always the big that wins.
In all kinds of sports there are upsets. It sometimes boggles the minds of the spectators. Yes, people watch knowing that they will see something special in every game.
There is a basketball player in China , a 7′6″ center of the Houston Rockets, who improves his game from year to year, his name is Yao Ming. And there is a NBA’s 2006 slamdunk champion who is playing in New York, his name is Nate Robinson.
Yao Ming can dunk the ball but not as graceful as Nate Robinson. Yao can dominate the posts but Robinson is too small to be even in the paint.
This is a play where Yao could have scored easily but he didn’t. It was not Shaquille O’neal; not even a Ben Wallace nor Dikembe Mutumbo who’s in front of him. It was Nate Robinson.
Robinson blocked Yao’s shot! Yes, it defies logic but the small guy can fly. Watch the video.
