Top 10 Small Athletes: #10 Nate Robinson 31

Posted: September 25, 2009, 2:15 PM ; Updated: September 25, 2009, 4:36 PM

For anyone who is 5' 9", there are two ways you can dunk a basketball:

1. Get a dunk hoop and lower it to 8' 6", or

2. Dream about it.

That's why Nate Robinson's high-flying feats are so amazing. "Krypto-Nate" stole the show at the 2009 Slam Dunk Competition. Among his dunks was a leap over Superman himself, 2008 champ Dwight Howard.

Of course, Robinson is more than just a dunker, he's a sixth man supreme. Providing instant offense off the bench for the Knicks, Robinson averaged 17.2 points. Among sixth men, only Jason Terry scored more.

And Robinson wasn't always just a basketball player. At the University of Washington, he was a defensive back for the Huskies football team.

hey what about football

I totally agree with GoofyPitcher. Wes Welker is the best TE in the game and he is very small.

Wes Welker has got 2 be #1. Hes 5 foot 9 and is amazing in every single game. Plus he plays WR and height really helps in that position unlike Pedroia who plays 2b in baseball. He caught more passes last year then Larry fitz, Calvin Johnson, and his teammate Randy Moss last year! The guy is a freak!

how does height matter in baseball.

No way Dustin Pedroia shouldn't be on that list.Why does it matter if you're short to play baseball?
