Nate Robinson: Ballin in Westchester
Apr 28, 2008 NBA
This may or may not be at all interesting, but I got what I thought was an interesting text message from a buddy tonight:
Just finished playing two hours of pickup with Nate Robinson. Dude can jump.
He followed that up with:
We play in Westchester. I talked with him for a little while. He liked me because I was a ‘hustlah’. He really can jump outrageously high. He gets into the club just so everyone can watch him.
The buddy is a public high school teacher and coach in the Hudson Valley. Robinson is a pretty compelling personality in the NBA — remember the fight with Melo?
The guy has a serious case of little man syndrome, and New York may not be the best place for him to try and keep his emotions in check for his career.
But at least Isiah is out of the picture now. That can only be helpful.
