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.

Pulling pranks a messy business

Posted: Tuesday, December 6 at 03:36 am ET by Nate Robinson

Life can be tough as a rookie sometimes because your teammates get to pick on you a little bit. After I hit the game-winner against the 76ers, I had to go home in a wrinkled suit. They tied my suit up with tape, and put my shoes somewhere. They did a whole bunch of stuff. It was really wrinkled, and I had to wear it home.

After the Miami game, some guys put some cream cheese in my shoes. One of the vets put it in the bottom of my shoes and I couldn’t get it out so I just left it in there. I had to go on the plane back to New York with cream cheese in my shoes and socks.

If I had to pick one, I’d say the cream cheese was probably better to deal with because it didn’t mess up my suit. But I’m hoping they’re done.

I don’t know yet who’s been getting me with the pranks. Since I don’t know, I’m going to have to get back everyone on my team! But I have some suspicions. Matt Barnes is No. 1. Barnes and Eddy Curry. Those are my two suspects right now. I think they might be behind the suit prank, too.

I’m not sure what my full revenge will be yet, but I did get Barnes a couple days ago by putting itching powder in his practice gear. I got it in his socks, his shorts, his spandex, everywhere. When they get me, I’ve got to get them back!

Nate, Keep up the good play man. Im here in Afghanistan so I have only seen you guys plsy once. Im diehard Knick fan and regardless of you record Im still a fan. Hey they pranks will end, you guys sound like us over here pulling pranks. Keep your head up, someone in Afghanistan is rooting for you. I should be home for good in January and Im going to get my NBA package turned on to watch every game

Just don't do any of the pranks you, Chicken and AJ used to pull on each other.

Nate, keep up the good work! I'm A Celts fan from NY and the Knicks haven't won the big dance since the year I was born but you seem to give me a little more reason to shift teams. Don't worry about the pranks, they are all in good fun and later you will be doing the same things to another rookie. It's part of paying dues. Keep ya head up tough guy!

Nate,
Try to be honored to be acknowledged by your teammates, pranks or praise. You are still the TOP DAWG on any court, admired & loved by all! Keep kicking it on the court and making the Husky program shine. Best wished on the rest of your career!

Nate,
You and Channing are the future. I am big knick fan -way back. I would like to see David Lee play some more. I would like to see Stef gone. I think he is holding back the team. Keep hustling, I voted you on the All-Star-

P.S. Dunk on Shaq when Miami comes to town
