Nate’s block of Yao an internet hit

New York Knicks’ guard Nate Robinson, 5’9, authored one of the more memorable plays in NBA history on Monday when he blocked the shot of 7’6 Houston Rockets’ center, Yao Ming. The play, which was shown repeatedly on ESPN (with the network even having two height-adjusted John Andersons, one as tall as Robinson and the other as tall as Yao, trash talking each other on SportsCenter) has become a relative hit on YouTube. There are already 11 videos of the play on the social networking site, with the most viewed one receiving 75,422 hits (and 156 comments).
