Nate Robinson is unlike any other player in the NBA. This player is the shortest in the NBA, but he is one of the most fearless players. He is 1.75m tall. “In NBA, he looks like a fourth-grader among a group of high school students,” according to The Atlantic.

How can he compete (競爭) with them? Robinson makes up(彌補) for this with his ability to jump. Without moving forwards or backwards, he can jump up to 110cm. However, confidence helps him more. “People talk about my height all the time, but I don’t really feel smaller than anyone else,” said Robinson. “I always think I’m on fire (充滿激情的).” No matter who you are or what you’ve won, he’s going to come at you. With that spirit, he has won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest(灌籃大賽) three times. Also, he has made many wonderful blocks (蓋帽).

Chicago Bulls played Miami Heat on May 10, 2013. LeBron James, the 2.03-meter-tall player from Miami Heat, went to shoot. But Robinson blocked him. He also blocked Shaquille O’Neal in Cleveland Cavaliers and even Yao Ming in Houston Rockets.

Nate Robinson is a hero. He has given many basketball fans hope. Maybe one day, you can also block big guys like LeBron James!
