Celtics alum Nate Robinson on how he became the NBA’s most iconic little guy
Former Boston Celtics floor general Nate Robinson opened up about his journey from being a little-known multi-sport athlete from the Pacific Northwest to becoming one of the most iconic figures in the NBA in his prime years on an episode of fellow former NBAer Gilbert Arenas‘ “Gil’s Arena” podcast.
From his roots in Seattle to his unconventional path to the NBA, Robinson shared insights into his life, the challenges he faced as a shorter player in a sport dominated by length and height and the stereotypes associated with being a “little guy” in the NBA, as well as the impact he made on the wider basketball community over the years.
Discussing the basketball scene in his hometown, Robinson shed light on the rivalry between Seattle and Tacoma hoopers many from outside the region may not even be aware of.
