Nate who?

Nate Robinson. I'm in my second season as a guard for the New York Knicks.

I was a first-round draft pick out of the University of Washington, where I helped take the Huskies to the Sweet 16.

It’s been a long road from high school. No one wanted to give me a chance in hoops at first – don’t know if they thought I was too small or what – but they underestimated me. I even went to Washington on a football scholarship before convincing Coach Romar I could make an impact on the hardwood. Now I'm gonna be the next big thing in the NBA -- even though I'm 5-foot-9.

Summer time ... time to improve my game

Posted: Thursday, May 31 at 12:01 am ET by Nate Robinson

I learned a lot about my game this season, made some improvements, and have a good idea of how I can get better.

I was way more poised this season and had a better understanding of the game. I didn’t force things, but learned to let the game come to me. That’s something I’m going to work on more in the future.

Things looking up for Knicks

Posted: Tuesday, May 15 at 07:59 pm ET by Nate Robinson

In looking back at our season, I think there is a lot of reason for optimism. I think the team chemistry was there. I’d give us a  C or C+. Toward the end of the season a couple of guys got hurt. Jamal Crawford was out. Quentin Richardson was out. David Lee was out. Steve Francis was out. We had a lot of guys with injuries and the young guys stepped up.

I don’t believe in bad or good luck, but we got hit by injuries. With me, Mardy Collins and those guys, we had to step up. With all those guys hurt, that’s 60 points a night gone right there. But that just happens, that’s the way the world goes.

Kobe, not Dirk, should be MVP

Posted: Tuesday, May 1 at 08:58 pm ET by Nate Robinson

It’s time to make my picks for NBA awards, so let’s get right to it.

There has been a lot of buzz about Dirk Nowitzki for MVP this season, but I would have to go with Kobe Bryant. He’s had an unbelievable season, scoring at least 50 points 10 times! The Lakers have had a lot of injury problems, but they still made the playoffs, and it's all because of Kobe.

I think Steve Nash has had a great year and I think it would be cool if he won it for a third straight year, but I think Kobe should be the pick.
