Nate Robinson Interview at NBA D-League Debut
Theres this basketball move called the nutmeg, where you throw a pass through the opponents leg for the assist. Nate Robinson took that to a new level on Saturday night. Robinson didnt just pass through Walter Tavares legs in a D-League game, he dribbled straight through.
Thats a 5-foot-9 guard going through the legs of a 7-3 center. props to robinson for his innovation. It makes you wonder if he went into the game expecting to do that, if he has thought about it and was just waiting for the right opportunity, if he saw Tavares stance in-game and saw an opportunity, or if it was just one of those spur-of-the-moment things.
Either way, pretty genius.
Robinsons looking for a way back into the league after being waived by the Nuggets last year. And apparently that way is through Tavares legs. The question you have is if Isaiah Thomas, also 5-9, will pull this off next.
