Man I feel bad for Nate Robinson

[magnifier661]

The interview with him on nba.com tv was depressing. That boy works sooo hard and puts up buckets. He is truly being dissed by the league.

 

[B-Roy]

What did he say/link?

What did he say/link?

Just watch nba tv. You could feel his pain. He was talking about if my nba career is 1 year contracts, then he's gonna do what he's gotta do.

Basically said I want a team that just wants me. I want to feel like I'm wanted, not "ah we didn't get this guy so let's settle for Nate".

 

[magnifier661]

Said he doesn't want to start. Just be a plug off the bench and be at practice early and give 100% all the way.

Man if he came to Portland, I could see him be an instant fan favorite. The dude got a lot of heart

29 years old and 5'8"

prolly had his best season last year though, would have expected the bulls to want him back

I think rose coming back had something to do with it.

He plays south bigger than his size though

Apparently the front office had some interest but Thibs, the coach, is not interested.

You saying he should get a porn star job?

Hahaha

I would be fine with him on the Blazers.

I just don't think we could do it with commitment to the other players. He would definitely be a huge upgrade on this bench

Defensively, Robinson graded as the worst player in the league with at least 300 plays defended, according to Synergy. I don't think he was really quite that bad -- his other data wasn't nearly as negative -- but he certainly wasn't good. Robinson ranked in the top quarter of point guards in steals per minute, but only at a huge cost in missed gambles and fouls. At 5-9, it's fairly easy for opponents to play over the top of him too.

Per Hollinger

The CHI coach is big on defense of course.

 

[THE HCP]

Guys a nutjob. You see him being all loud and crazy on loading docks all over the NBA. I've heard players walk away from talking with him after games and talk about how much they can't stand his ass. When we were on the bus heading back to the hotel in Boston a couple seasons ago, he was zipping back and forth in his car around the team bus just acting like a fool!

At 5-9 I guess you have to have your warp drive gene turned on permanently to survive in the NBA.

Muggsy Bogues helped to sell out the Charlotte arena for years. Jordan should try to duplicate the old Hornets with Nate on the new Hornets.

Why would you feel sorry for a guy, who in a 7-8 year career so far in the NBA, has seen multitudes more money than >80% of average joes will EVER see.
Just because he feels left out?

He can use a few $100 dollar bills to wipe away his tears I'm sure.

 

[jlprk]

Poor little dwarf.

Why don't you pick on someone your own size?

Don't you realize he's got five kids to feed?

LOL

I thought you said it was four.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

We already have a Nate Robinson. Only he's 6'5" and called Will Barton.

Ha. True enough.

Interesting inside information, HCP. I sometimes wonder about players who are good players, don't get in off court trouble, but always seem to have a new team every year (remember Jim Jackson?) Sometimes we hear, often after the fact, that they just did not get along with teammates wherever they were.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Thibs knows you win with defense. Nate plays no defense, so why have him on your team?

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Poor little millionaire.

 

[BlazerBeav]

I hated his on-court antics while he was in college, and they've only gotten worse. I would despise having him on our roster.

 

[BlazerWookee]

He can make a ton of money playing in China. Those little fuckers love watching midgets with mad hops.

 

[KingSpeed]

Nate had good playoff runs with Boston and Chicago. I would love him on our team.

I love that so many people want to sign guys that don't play any defense

Maybe you should reverse your priorities about complying with authority (the Right) vs. getting along with human nature (the Left).
