NYTimes: The People's Game: Basketball in China(Very Long)

Trade Moochie for him NOW!

 

He cheated, he set foot on the back of those human wall.





[font size=1]still very impressive though[/font]

 

That was pretty cool but he put his foot on them TWICE. Once when he jumped and a second time to spin the final 180.

 

i hadn't even caught that the 1st time...cheater...

plus there is a clear travelling violation before that...

 

i may be an idiot, but im not as big as the idiot that can't tell a joke from a serious comment.

 

No. Just once that he barely touched the middle man.

What an athletic move. I am sold!!!

 

Umm, I don't know why you guys are so excited about that picture. My grandpa looks like that too when he attempts a lay-up.

Also, didn't someone posted that picture earlier and said that he was a German basektball player?

 

I wonder if that person in the picture is really the one named in the article.

 

Rhoads and O'Neil point to 14-year-old Chen Juangha as the gem who
could turn the tide for his country. O'Neil spent a month with Chen
at his academy last summer and believes that, with the proper
tutoring, the young guard could be a significant contributor for the
2008 Olympic team in the Beijing Games.

''He's very skilled,'' O'Neil says. ''I had a bunch of high school
coaches come and look at him, and they all say he'd be first-team All
State. He's got the shooting ability and the instincts, and he wants
desperately to come to the US to train, but I don't know if they will
let him. Chen would benefit greatly from the first-rate coaching --
and competition -- he would find in America.''

 

Isn't that travel?

 

That kid looks amazing for 14yrs old.... cant wait to see him play!!

 

At first I too thought he might have relied a bit on the human wall, but if you look at it closely. He showed awkwrd motin, no sign going up or stopping just a bit after stepping on the backs of those people.

It's a very fluent motion all the way from the jump to the finish.

The only question is that is he really the guy from the article??

 

I meant "He showed NO..."

why not editing??

 

That was one awesome dunk. In terms of using a human step ladder, there was no change of direction after the dunker's foot touched one of these human step laddre.

Besides, the guy jumped high enough that it is not necessary for him to use anybody else for additional lift.

But the most important question is is the dunker the 14 year old kid? I really don't think so. I think the guy in the picture is more like 6'7" or 6'8".

 

It looks eerily similar to those French guys.

 

I looked at it frame by frame... he did didn't step on anyone... no one under him even twitched.. and his body was in the motion of hitting the basket without any help. If it is him... WHAOOOOOO!!!!

 

i can't see the video clip!

 

He should be in the Matrix.

How come two of the human step ladders are black?

 

that's not the kid! that's Kadour Ziani, who is a French exhibition dunker!

 

Is that dunker chen or not??? Yaofan, can you verify????
