Nate Robinson is a gimmick and I’m becoming increasingly irritated by his popularity. I watch every Knicks game, and I’ll be the first to admit that the guy can play. He actually won a couple of games for us with his offensive spark. That being said, he is not worth that headache that comes with his skill. Nate is the worst decision maker on the court I have ever seen! I remember plays down the stretch of games where we really needed a good possession to keep us in the game. Rather than coming up the court and working the ball around like a point guard ought to, he would drive recklessly to the hoop in hopes of drawing a foul, which he rarely did…big guys block him all the time! But this is not what people see on Sportscenter. They only watch Nate block Yao Ming (he poked him in the eye!) and throw down thunderous dunks. Only nonchalant, mainstream fans actually think Nate is as good as his Nate “the Great” nickname would suggest. Robinson doesn’t listen to his coaches either. Watching the Celtics game the other day, I was glad to see him walk off the floor at a timeout only to be screamed at by Doc Rivers. So, next time you see Nate, watch him for a longer period of time than just the highlights.
Below is an example of Nate’s daily antics, shakin’ and bakin’ with Will Ferrell. If only he knew when to cut the crap and be serious.
