From the guy that brought you Shrek and Donkey comes Nate Robinson: Invisible.
After Paul Pierce drilled a mid-range jumper in the Boston Celtics' recent win against Robinson's former team, the New York Knicks, the three-time Slam Dunk Champion came running to no. 34 for that celebratory hug, only to flip over an ignoring teammate's shoulder (check it out at the 0:41 mark).
For a moment there (at the 0:07 mark) I thought Pierce tackled Nate. If Robinson obtained an injury from this occurrence, it would be bad for the Celtics. Outside of Glen Davis, no. 4 is their best contributor off the bench. What the hell was Pierce thinking?
I just don't know why 'The Truth' can't show some love to the little man. I know he's all pumped up about drilling that dagger, matching Amar'e Stoudemire's 39 points with his 32, and escaping Madison Square Garden with a win, but he could've at least acknowledged Nate. But instead of looking over his shoulder to check what was that little green thing that jumped on him, he ran around the court, mocked Knicks fans, only to snub Robinson again. Sure he chest bumped Nate, but man, he barely made eye contact with the little fellow (see the 0:19 mark).
Just can't help feeling sorry for Robinson. I mean, if 9 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists in just 22:48 minutes of action and Slam Dunk titles aren't enough to earn you respect from a security guard and a teammate, I don't know what could?
J.R. Smith: Yo Jared! Wanna piece of me mofo!? Nate Robinson: Well I wanna piece of you Mr. Tattoo! Carmelo Anthony: Wait. So Nate was here all this time? Jared Jeffries: Stop pinching my tits! |
