More on this storyline
Today, after a successful transplant in February, Robinson is back on his feet, speaking with gratitude, faith, and a renewed sense of purpose. “I’m good. I’m working, getting better. I’m enjoying life, I got a second chance and I’m trying to take everything slow. I’m enjoying my children and just living,” he told Saar Shoham from Sport5. That second chance has changed his perspective in profound ways. “Life looks different now. When you get a second chance at life, you want to do things the right way. I want to live a long life, enjoy watching my kids grow up, be a grandpa one day. Now I enjoy the job where I can go out and do things.” -via BasketNews / April 12, 2025
Tony Allen: A lot of people don’t know this, but I backed up Rondo as a point guard. Nate Robinson was also a point guard, but he was playing around too much. Doc Rivers told him, “Man, you will never play another game in a Celtics uniform.” Damn. He played too much. Nate Robinson was that type of guy, man—listen. Nate Robinson was the type of dude who, if you left something in the locker room, he’d take your outfit and put it up on the board. Right there—where the matchups, the opponent’s plays, and the game diagrams were. And right underneath it, he’d write: “Who the hell wore this?” with an arrow pointing at the outfit. Guys would go get their shots up, come back, and see their outfit on display. By the time they got to their locker, they’d be looking around like, “Man, what the hell?” -via YouTube / February 25, 2025
