Nasty Nate

Nate Robinson is maturing into a consistently solid NBA player. Yea I said it. Early in his career it would be safe to say he drove Knick fans crazy more than he made them happy. As of late he has been a bright spot for New York. This month he has been averaging 23.6 points per game, 5 rebounds, and 5.2 assists all in his 5-9 180 lbs frame. During his last 5 games he had been averaging LeBron James type numbers (30 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists) including this 41 point performance. Robinson completely took over the game in the second half scoring 32 of his 41 points on 11-18 shooting. After winning a very entertaining dunk contest during all-star weekend, Robinson has used that momentum to elevate his game and try leading the Knicks back to the playoffs for the first time since the 2003-2004 season.
