Nate Robinson is probably the most athletically gifted player in the NBA

[Majestic Pape]

Since we're clearly not putting size into the equation here, he is definitely up there as one of the most athletic NBA players of ALL-TIME.

And despite all of the hate that's been heaped on him, dude can flatout play. He is a very good player and not simply a "sideshow".

Edit: But Eric Bledsoe might have him beat.

 

[RedBull]

Agreed.

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

Lebron don't play in the NBA now?

Nate is literally a foot shorter than Lebron... and weighs 80 lbs less

Nate is faster,more explosive, jumps higher, and is probably about just as strong.

If Nate and LeBron were both 6'8", Nate would be doing some Slamball type shyt. compared to what LeBron is currently doing.

 

[Hammer]

of course he is, dudes like 5'8 and can jump with anyone in the league

 

[O.G.B]

If the Heat could have picked up Nate, they would be almost invincible with that 4 guard rotation! Wonder why all these different teams only keep him around for a year or two though before they release him?

Nate gets cooked on defense lets not act like he would fit perfectly on the heat.

little guys the size of robinson doin near like bron like stuff, yeah i'll give it to robinson erryday.

Oh yeah, that's right Chicago doesn't play top notch defense either. Dude would be a perfect fit for the Heat, plus this isn't the old erratic Nate who was woefully inadequate on the defensive end, he has improved quite a bit.

 

[Reggie]

I've always said if nate was at least 6'0 he would be a star in the league. But even at his height he still gets in done has proven himself a solid NBA player.

 

[beenz]

the fact that lil nate can be so effective despite his height limitation just shows you how skilled he is.

he does'nt get cooked cuz he's not moving his feet and staying in front of his man. he gets cooked, cuz EVERY PG in the NBA can see over and thus easily get their shot off on dude.

He plays for Thibs

He isnt even that bad staying in front of someone, hes actually good at sticking someone. Dude just gets abused by picks and when he gets posted.

 

[J-MIL]

Seeing Nate dunk in person was . That nikka got springs, he really can do it all tho. I'd agree its between Nate and Bledsoe

Ray Allen gets cooked too when he's put on an island, but that team defense would/will mask it.

Nate Robinson doesn't seem to be destroying the Bulls defense though. And it's not like coaches just iso whoever Nate is guarding like Don Nelson used to do to Steve Nash.
