Manu Ginobili snatches a bat out of mid-air. 

Said Ginobili: "When you can't dunk anymore, you have to find a way to make it into the news. So that's what I did. I grabbed a bat. I didn’t think it was a big deal."

Added Spurs coach Greg Popovich: "He never ceases to amaze me and he just did it again. The legend grows. It's incredible on Halloween night. You would call someone a liar if they told you that story."

Of course, he gets rabies shots after, which is very painful.

BEFORE THERE WAS YAO...

...there were Wang Zhi Zhi and Bateer Menk. 

They were part of the original Great Wall of China (with Gong Xiao Bin). 

These two  went on to undistinguished NBA careers (although they did chew up their Asian competitors) while Gong is now a coach in the Chinese Basketball League.
