Video: Nate Robinson’s fail

What follows is a testament to the internet age.

Think about fifteen years ago. If Nate Robinson had attempted to jump on Paul Pierce’s back and instead fallen flat on his face, we would have seen it three times. Once, live. Once, in replay on the live telecast. Then maybe again on SportsCenter, if we were lucky.

Now, everything’s better. We can DVR the fall, and rewind our TV, and then rewind it again (and again, and again). Or we can go to Twitter, and almost certainly find a TwitVid of the play. Or we can just take our asses to YouTube and watch the fall over and over, and even immortalize it by spoofing old Michael Jordan commercials.

The possibilities are now endless. And the fall, no matter how many times I watch it, remains spectacular.

    reading the title to this post i was hoping it was going to be that 36o lay up nate took against the pacers which was lucky to catch the side of the back board… celts somehow got the ball back and scored, then nate got a normal left hand lay up on the next play… anyone remember that wild ass spinning have no idea where he was layup in the seond half yesterday? it was terrible… type of thing they just show doc shaking his head… still like nate but man he does some stupid things.

      I remember it exactly. He didn’t even look at the hoop once, and threw it up backwards over his head. The ridiculousness of Nate Robinson.
