After the life-or-death video went viral in the United States, it was quickly reposted across the internet in other countries.
As soon as it appeared on foreign websites, it set the internet ablaze.
Whether in the United States, Spain, Italy, or Japan and South Korea,
the video quickly reached number one on the daily view-count charts in each country, all within half an hour.
Although the video featured the local language of Afghanistan as well as English, thoughtful users translated it and added subtitles in their own languages.
You could imagine how stunned ordinary people were when they saw Wang Yi risk his life to save others again and again.
"Oh my God, this is insane. Absolutely insane!"
"Risking his own life, then making blindfolded free throws to gamble with the lives of 22 people—he's a legend!"
"Whoever says Wang Yi's place in history can't surpass Jordan? Those 20 free throws alone are enough to put him above any basketball superstar."
"If basketball stars were ranked in tiers, Wang Yi would be in a league of his own, completely dominating all the others."
But plenty of people also questioned the video.
"Fake. It's obviously fake, definitely something made with special effects."
"You can tell what kind of people Wang Yi's fans are. They'd make a fake video like this just to defend their idol and disgust everyone else."
"Come on, could the person who made this video have even the slightest grasp of common sense? They make something so absurd, and people actually believe it? My God, what's wrong with this world?"
On Shaquille O'Neal and Barkley's show, they naturally discussed the video too.
Shaquille O'Neal asked Barkley, sitting beside him, "Big Mouth, you saw that video of Wang Yi making life-or-death free throws, right? What do you think?"
