This blog is about a little guy who plays with a lot of heart, Nate Robinson. Nate is a 5'8 profesional basketball player in the NBA who plays for the New York Knicks. Despite the talent that New York posses (but does not execute properly), Nate is arguably the best player on the team and recently he has been doing an excellent job proving so.
Nate Robinson is our Modern day Spud Webb standing well under 6 foot and still able to compete with the world's greastest basketball players. His recent string of success was sparked off All Star weekend after he brought home the Slam dunk championship de-throwning the great Dwight Howard but jumping over super man(Howard) dressed in all all green symbolizing Kryptonite (superman's weekness). It was amazing! Since then, in his last 5 of 7 games he has averaged over 30 points a game and is shooting 51% from the field. If this 5'8 point guard from Washington still hasn't amazed you with those numbers i have one more piece of information; he did all this coming off the bench every night! Talk about a supporting role.
Another notable achievement Nate has done was participate and win the 2006 dunk contest. This has nothing to do with his recent success since the all star break this year but i have included a link where u can see him perform some incredible dunks, including jumping over hall of famer Spud Webb, who i mentioned ealier that Nate's game most resembles. He knows how to put on a show.
P.S for all those Knick fans out there (which is probably no one in class) you willl be happy to know if you havne't already seen it on sports center that Marbury has finally been bought out his contract and will no longer continue to f**k the knicks over with his bat attitude, bad chemistry, over paid salary that pushes the cap and all the other distractions he brought to the team. Amazing player, please dont get me wrong, but we just dont need you in New York. So long Stephone.

I must agree with you, Nate Robinson is the MAN!!!!! I mean he is 5ft 8 and wont the NBA dunk contest, enough said. Just winning wasn't enough, Nate had to jump over superman himself to finish off the contest. He has also been on a roll ever since the break! Give it up for high flying little man Nate Robinson!
