He's BLOODY 5'9'' which is about the average Malaysian size...DAMN HE DUNKS LIKE A 6 footer!!! though it can be said that his dunks if performed by taller ppl would be noticed but HEY he's 5 fuckin 9!!! you can see from the pics(He's the BLOODY midget in the middle!!) how short he is and what THE HELL did he dunk!! OVER SPUD WEBB(another former SLAM DUNK winner at 5'7'' EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE) but lets keep it to Nate Robinson..

Moral of the story.. If us short wankers think that we can't play in the NBA coz we're short..we're just fooling ourselves...LOOK AT Nate Robinson and you will see why can't we play..COZ WE"RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH!! that Bloody midget(even though he is taller than me i will call him that due to who he plays with week in week out *wink*) CAN REALLY JUMP!!

Sorry for the Long Ass Post..I'm just too excited
