I think Nate Robinson just broke a new record

Sat Nov 19, 2005 4:37 pm

Today Nate had one block and i think he is the youngest player ever under 5-10 to do one :lol: . I thought i had to post this with all the discussions about Lebron's new records,ha.

Sat Nov 19, 2005 4:42 pm

Well done Nate, who did he block

Sat Nov 19, 2005 4:52 pm

watch earl boyking records,he alredy did a block this year!
http://www.nba.com/playerfile/earl_boykins/?nav=page
his record is,2 vs. Minnesota 11/04/04

Sun Nov 20, 2005 12:25 am

He was talking about "youngest player under 5-10" not "player under 5-10" to have a block .

Sun Nov 20, 2005 2:52 am

:o :shock: holy shit earl had 12 blaocks last year

Sun Nov 20, 2005 4:00 am

I hope Nate get's the ROY award this year..

Sun Nov 20, 2005 4:14 am

frye has a better chance.

Based on? Just biasedness, his shortness or because you think he's cute?

Sun Nov 20, 2005 5:30 am

biasedness I doubt , in another thread he says hes a raptor fan . Channing Frye is the Knicks best Rookie , and right now it looks like he is an EARLY canidate for ROY , even though I doubt he'll get it.

Sun Nov 20, 2005 7:21 am

if the knicks insert him into the starting line up Frye has a serious chance of winning ROY. He could easily average 25/10 with the way he is playing.

I almost sure Frye will be the starting center by the start of next year, if not before because Antonio Davis wont last much longer with the knicks.

you mean starting PF? Curry is the starting C right now..
putting frye @ PF would be a good move, then push him to C when curry gets into foul trouble. But I'm not sure if curry and frye games can work together, i don't think brown has put both of them on the floor at the same time yet..

Sun Nov 20, 2005 8:50 am

Just to let you all know, Muggsy Bogues had 39 career blocks... maybe more impressive! :)

Curry would move to pf. If Davis is traded i think New York would be using a similar system like the one the bulls usually used to have chandler and curry in the court.

Sun Nov 20, 2005 11:57 am

Davis isn't going to get traded hes a huge expiring contract . This year both Penny and Davis are Free Agents .

Sun Nov 20, 2005 12:01 pm

Congratulations to him although Nate is over-hyped just cause he can dunk and is quick on the floor. Give him an average point guard height of say 6-1 to 6-2 and he'd be half as loved/popular as he is now.

The Knicks will lose like 28+ million in cap space but will still be over the cap and they dont even have Shaq, now thats sad.

Sun Nov 20, 2005 1:02 pm

I am almost sure Davis will be traded by the start one next season. Denver might be his new home. And i think Nate could be having even better stats if he was in another team. I mean, it is not so nice to player under Marbury and Crawford and the knicks are already thinking of adding another pg.

Thats because Nate plays in a similar rhythm as Starbury and Crawford. There all shoot first pass second guards now though Marbury use to be the opposite.

Nate cant control an offense, he could have 10 assists per night but there's a difference between someone thats a good point guard and someone that just has big assist numbers(ala DPOY debates). Yeah I admire Nate for being so small and being able to dunk :roll: and play in the league, but lets be realistic here he isnt any better than Marbury and is probably equal if not a tad batter than Crawford..plus Jamal is a natural SG in the first place.

Its the reason why the Nuggets start Miller over Boykins, Dre may not be as quick or as exciting as Boykins but he has much more mature point guard skills...I dont even like Dre(lost us D-Mile and had a flop of a season) but common sense says you start him over Earl Boykins 99% of the time. I love Boyk as a person and an player but he's no Muggsy nor is Nate.

That's a foul. :roll:

I really dislike Nate Robinson, overhyped as fuck and he hasn't really done anything spectacular yet. People like him because he's small and can jump.
Pretty funny too that when he gets a block you guys are like 'wow, he's 5-10 and he blocks someone' and all of a sudden forget it's the same Nate you overhype because he can jump so high.

streetballaz1, I hope you don't really live in LA, because I seriously doubt you'd survive there given your english might even be worse than your photoshop skills..

Sun Nov 20, 2005 10:30 pm

He's a score first midget. I mean, if he was 6'2'', 6'3'', he would just be another player in the Steve Francis mold. I mean, small people like him because he's small. That's about it. Like they have that much in common with a mega athletic, super skilled black man who's built like a brick.

yep- boykins is a good change of pace type player to bring off the bench. most of the time he's just looking for his own shots. his height basically makes it 5-4 for the defense.

Most pgs are bigger but can't dunk the ball as Robinson. Besides he adds a lot of pressure and intensity to the game, not to mention speed. I believe Nate will have a very good career because of all that and if he can improve his shooting.

About Boykins, he is a really efficient player mostly because he is a great ft shooter and also because he is one of the faster players of the league. Because of that i think he is a player he can start without problems in some teams.

robinson is also a good rebounder for his size.
