Last night when I was watching the game recap of the New York Knicks vs. Atlanta Hawks game I couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the broadcast crews call on the Nate Robinson power dunk. The broadcast crew was right in the middle of talking about how Dwight ‘Superman’ Howard was going to win the dunk contest again, then Nate Rob throws down a massive two-handed dunk off an alley-oop. Immediately the call goes something like this:
“I think i’m going to give my vote to Dwight Howard for sure…”
“Whoa…but Nate Robinson’s going to have some KryptoNATE for him!….”
For a guy that’s only listed at 5’9″ tall, it’s soooo ridiculous that Nate can not only get up that high, but that Duhon has enough confidence in Nate’s leaping ability that he can throw a lob pass from the top of the key, beyond the arc. That’s just silly to think about. Here’s the replay of the dunk if you missed it….
