How Nate Robinson Became The NBA's Most Iconic Little Guy 

Nate Robinson is extremely underrated. He was a beast for the Bulls.

Nate Robinson was my grandma’s favorite player. She used to watch him on the Knicks and I loved him as a Celtic. Even with her dementia she forgot family names, but remembered Nate Robinson fr.

Nate really made everyone who was shorter than 5'10 feel like they could go to the NBA

Earl boykins to me the most underrated little hoopers ever and he doesn’t get talk about enough shortest player to dunk in game and shortest to get 30+

Glad to see Nate out and about much love to Seattle's finest

As a 5’8” cat, Nate made me feel like I could go to the league! Love this one ☝️

Super Underrated. He has to be one of the most athletic basketball players in NBA history.

Look at Miko and rashad being nice to each other...👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Man growing up in Seattle I played Rotary basketball with Nate's brother Chicken since like 2nd grade. We used to always look up to Nate even tho he was smaller 😂 he was a superhero. Still is man. Love and respect to the legend. WE KNEW he was THAT guy!

I'm 6'6" and I wish I had a ounce of Nate Rob's jumping ability/dunk package. #salute

Gil must of made mccants and miko sit next to each other 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭

Nate is one of my all time favorite players. So much heart.

S/o Nate he definitely made me feel like I can make the league back in the day! Always heart over height….it ain’t the dog in the fight, but the fight in the dog my guy 💪🏾

bruh this is my #1 pod fashooooo

Gil's Arena is so good, that an hour show feels like 30 mins.

Damn that’s crazy, imagine how many players end up trash because they’re coach told them stop shooting

As a Knicks fan, I loved Nate and he was the first player I can remember whose treatment by a coach you could tell was foul. He was first dissed by Larry Brown and later by Dantoni. Instead of freeing him to be the creative unstoppable scorer they wanted to make him be something else and did not show him the love and respect he deserved!

I remember when he was in Denver and him and ty Lawson went off in LA and he was rocking the gamma 12's🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is one of the best sit down and Chopup episodes. I did not want It to finish..Respect to Nate.

Bring State Of Nate back that was one of my favorite RU-vid shows when I was in high school nate was a monster frfr

Love the admiration y’all have for y’all’s kids

I respect this dude more than alot of dudes I watched play the game.

Exactly what nate said... these new gen fans, especially from 2015+, only care about PPG. You can play zero defense but score 25+. Don't matter how you get it, as long as you're scoring you'll be a god in their books

Why it look like they visiting Nate from a rehab center 😂😂

Damm Nate dog is hard! Love his passion ❤️. That's what players now are missing. The love and fire. Nate was 🔥 when he checked in . All love man.

Surprising but not surprising. They all had great input into the conversation and made for a great conversation from a player we don’t hear enough from

I’m mad they didn’t bring up when Nate & McCants played in the Big 3 and Nate hit game winner then grabbed McCants mask 🤣

This was already my favorite pod but yall got Nate on this joint it's UP. Salute ✌🏿🖤🌅

UDUB legend by being a stud CB in football and starting over JR Brandon Roy. My pops loves his dad Jacque like a god as he won a Rose Bowl and Orange Bowl for UDUB in 82 and 84. Legends!

Little man with the heart of a Lion. Shout out to Nate 💪🏽

Bro never should’ve fought Jake Paul. Hell forever be a meme.

Always was a fan of Nate and amazing interview. I’m happy to see him doing good.

THESE PODCAST ARE IMPORTANT!!! Its great to hear the stories behind the game, and to hear them break down the game it makes the talking heads irrelevant!!! "Old Media" styled sports shows feat talking heads are over!!!

Nate Robinson Legendary This podacst is Legendary...Authentic

NATE ROB !! Idc what happened in that boxing match he took a risk 99% of us won't even think about doing cause of what happened to him. All it take is one punch but I respect that he even stuck his neck out there no risk it no biscuit!!

If you're from Seattle, you know exactly what Nate is sayin about the SE CD beef 😅

Damn I loved hearing Nate n Brandon talk about their little battle. Not the biggest names but the ones who know, know that them two were real entertaining players and elite buckets getters

Gil’s Arena sliding up on 300k subs! 🔥

Nate was a good interview he should be on a podcast

Man Nate a real one and I love this pod

I was just googling this dude because he was everywhere, the Jake Paul fight happen and I didn't see him anymore. Good to see he doing well.

Good to see people give Nate his flowers and actually remember him for what he did on the court!

Nate was super awesome baller...fun to watch...especially with Knicks

This was another Good one! Dope show! 🔥🔥🔥

Nate was always one of my favorite players even from his NY days! When the Bulls got him I was so excited (I’m from the Chi and a diehard Bulls fan). He has so many great plays on that team! Chicago loved him! I was mad when they don’t keep him! He kept us afloat and he was really good in the playoffs! That starting lineup of him, Jimmie, Taj, and Noah was nice defensively! Then we had Rip and Lu coming off the bench. Then Rose came back the next season and they let him go and I was too mad! I remember during that time he was in Chicago my baby brother was on the basketball team at his high school and I was working at a university in financial aid and admissions. So I was real cool with the bball team and the football team for the college and the coaches. I went to the bball coach and told him able my brother and asked him did he have any tips for him. First thing the coach asked was how tall is he. My baby brother was under 5’5” at the time and I’m 5’7” so I told the coach he’s shorter than me and the coach was like if he doesn’t have height he penalty won’t get any looks but he gave me a little advice for him. I Rod my baby brother but I added don’t let your height stop. Your heart is what matters most and I tops him look at Nate Robinson. My brother used that and made his IG and FB makes HeartOverHeight. He didn’t go to far but that boy was a dog on the court. They were trying to fool him hard but he got every time and earned the respect of his teammates and the rivals. One time they fouled him so hard my mom was about to run on the court and I had to hold her back lol. Nate is one of the greats in my book!

Nate is one of my favorite players Eva! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Great Episode, Love & Blessings!!!

Best pod I be listening to this shit at work fr🤣

Greatest basketball podcast out, no doubt 💯

Great episode 💯💯

man i need a gils arena x jeff teague podcast collab 2 of the best doing it rn

I like how it’s just about basketball and not the fight with him and Jake Paul

His year with the Bulls when he helped to beat the Nets in the playoffs was one of my favorite seasons ever as a Bulls fan

I remember nate was cooking in the clutch in playoffs back then in Chicago

It’s crazy how coaches can literally help propel or derail a career. I had no idea he walked on, but good on his coach recognizing his skill and effort and signing him the next year. Had the EXACT same situation my freshman year and I was killing our scholarship players. But we had an assistant who played high D1 and HATED walk-ons. Used to brag about hazing and bullying them. He convinced my coach to not give me a full scholarship and only a partial. And did that every year. I basically gave up on a real basketball career and was just on the team until I graduated (though I continued to kill everyday). It did pay off somewhat because outside ppl fucked with me and got me overseas…but no matter how good I did my 3 seasons abroad, I kept losing big contracts to players who had a more decorated college career than me…even when the coach or owner would acknowledge I was better. They said at the end of the day they have to fill seats, and fans follow popularity, not skill. Ended up retiring after my 3rd season because it was an uphill battle

This is one of my favorite players of all time that Bulls playoffs run Nate was *COLD*

Nate is the fuck’n man..Definitely was one of them!!

CAN'T WAIT TO BUY AN NBA TEAM IN 2028....GIL AND CREW ARE MY FIRST COACHING HIRES....WE WINNING A CHIP IN THE FIRST 3YRS.... LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN 2028...✌🏾👑😎🤑🏆🏆🏆
