    After watching Nate for over 15 years, I'm still amazed every time I see him beside other NBA players. It's amazing what he accomplished at his height.

    • @salomo7934

      Just as a player not only his height imo. And better then 60% of the pgs in the nba right now. He earned a comeback.

      Look how jacked he is even at 35 and retired. That’s years and years and years of hard work and dedication in the weight room, and outworking the competition. Even though James Johnson is taller, he still looks small compared to Nate.

    • @azskater09
      @azskater09 Před 4 lety +5

      I’ve never understood why people say that Nate Robinson doesn’t look like an NBA player. Yeah, he’s short for the NBA, but if you ask random people on the street to guess which one is a professional athlete, most people would choose Nate Robinson. Dude has the muscle of a NFL player.

    I refereed James Johnson in HS quite a few summers ago. I was like who is this kid from Cheyenne,WY? Very respectable and humble young man. He had a bad 1st half and was upset. I said a couple words to him. Encouraging words. Like shake off this 1st half. You know how good you are, just regroup. He started the 2nd half by scoring like the 1st 16 points with a couple of dunks, 3s, and dribble drives, block shots, steals in like 3 minutes. After the game he came up to me and said ref thanks for talking to me. I've liked him ever since. Side note I met his brother a couple years back refereeing some basketball. You would not know it by looking at these dudes that they are some bad ass fighters. Well trained and humble.
