Nate Robinson K & A

Joshua Valdez: All right, let’s go. So how did you adjust to life after basketball?

Nate Robinson: Dude, honestly, it’s just “Dad,” bro. I mean, it’s part of life. Simply, you know, you don’t play more in the NBA, and life is life. Enjoying my children grow up, I have two children in college. I have a daughter who is in high school in high school and I have a 10-year-old who just started, so it’s nine, but it’s just started the third class. So everything is going. I’m lucky.

Joshua Valdez: Amazing. And you did a lot of external endeavors after retirement. What was your favorite so far?

Nate Robinson: I mean, doing fun content and, you know, performances appear, they appear. I create sneakers with marks called Eklz from China. They help me and let me be creative with the making of sneakers, color, creating boxes. Just all, man. Stopping the child’s hospital, seeing children who are on dialysis who deal with kidney failure, like I did. That was great. Just spend time with family and friends. Life was good, man. You know, just trying to have fun and stay busy. I hope I can enter kids for training and training, I learn how hard it is to work and grind and get where you want to come in life. So life was great.

Joshua Valdez: You want to be a youth level coach, or more?

Nate Robinson: Youth, High School, Faculty, Professional One Day. It all depends; You have to start your journey somewhere, but I definitely want to start with young people. Start Training Aau and do such things. I think it would be pretty fun to work when the time is coming.

I know my daughter will graduate in a couple of years. She is already independent, so there are a few more years in high school. He was ready that he was now a task. I spent a lot of time with my boys. One of my sons play football at the University of Memphis, and my second son is in the Junior Faculty in Northern Idahu playing basketball. So I think we made a pretty decent job from you, raising and trained them. Now I have to nanem my love and attention to my daughter and try to be one of the best players in the world one day. It’s a plan.

Joshua Valdez: I got you. And how was basketball in Israel and Venezuela compared to the NBA?

Nate Robinson: Comparison? I just think it’s a beautiful game in different countries because you can see you play in real time and not just stressed or things that say on TV. A beautiful thing about fans in different countries like Israel and Venezuela and Spain and wherever you play abroad is that their fans literally die fans of sports and teams that support. I played for that in Israel called Hapoel Tel Aviv, and the fans came to the airport when I landed. The fans cheer up and shouted the entire game, beat the drums and just celebrated their team. It was a different vibration, man.

I wish NBA fans did something more. You know, they’re a little too cool in America. You know what I’m saying? Fans want to enjoy the game. But abroad, it means everything to them. Like, you know, their team is part of their life. They greet us as a real family and it shows how much love and passions they have for the game. It makes you harder and makes you a hug and enjoy them come into play as you are looking at how you play. So you want to play hard, you want to win for your team. It did so much sweetie to be able to play for it and easy to play for them because they want to win. They want you to play hard, want you to win. It was an incredible, incredible experience.

Joshua Valdez: Do Feeling like fans are more passionate than in the United States?

Nate Robinson: Yes, for sure. Sure.

Joshua Valdez: It makes sense. When we talk about the side of the United States, how do you see a competition in Dunka NBA now compared to when you participated?

Nate Robinson: I mean, they have a better cooking, like more creativity on Dunks. But with us, when we played, we had more quarrels. We were showman. It’s a little different now. You know, now it’s like … What can anyone do to work before it can return the competition during life? That was the hardest thing. I think they need to add more Dunkers. Four dunkers is not enough. Like, back when we played, it’s almost like 10 Dunkers. Dunk competition probably took too long for the weekend, but we want to see more Dunkers, brother. We want to see perhaps in a way that can bring dunkers from the streets that are influences and things because their Dunks are better than real NBA players. So we need to understand the team type of work, like bringing someone to help you create a dunk so you can do together or something. I don’t know, they had to understand something.

Joshua Valdez: Do you feel like guys are more worried about competing during the time?

Nate Robinson: I mean, just do it where it’s not so cool now. I don’t know why, I don’t know where she went wrong. But back in the day, doing a contest during the dunk, it stamped who you are and what you are trying to get to the table. Like, come on, man, you had guys like Michael Jordan, a competition during her while he was young. Like LeBron (James), he should have done it. Guys love I MorantSion (Williamson), why don’t you do what you are meant?

You know what I’m saying? It doesn’t make sense. Like, come on, me. You should do that novice year. Zion, you should do that novice year. Come on, bro. The best of the best. Blake Griffin, me. I mean, Tracy McGRadi, Vince Carter, Michael Jordan, Jason Richardson, Desmond Mason, Steve Francis, Baron Davis, Dominique Wilkins, everyone has done. They were Dunkers, and they did it a competition during the time. So many guys blessed the curtail competition and still became a player that they were today. He didn’t interfere. Even if they didn’t win, they did it yet.

Guys are so worried about loss or looking bad or whatever the case may. Back in the day, we didn’t have mobile phones to record everything, and people didn’t have the internet so they could continue and talk and tell whatever they want to say. Then nothing meant nothing to us. We just did it, you know, for fans. We did it for yourself, the seal “I am one of the greatest athletes ever ever walking the countries.” Like, it was an agreement. That was the matter then. They are now not interested in them now.

Joshua Valdez: And going out of it, what was your favorite moment in your career in general?

Nate Robinson: Oh, man, that’s a great question. Probably just to make up. I was a guy from Seattle that people probably didn’t even know who I am, especially people from the east coast. Because, you know, I played on the west coast. I played in PAC-10 back when, you know, our games gathered around one, you know, 12, 11 hours at night when people slept. So the only way to see us play if we have made a sportscent expiration and our team was on or anything, or in the NCAA tournament.

But I think of me, it’s just an opportunity to put together, my name is called 21. years. I was a little guy, so it was a big deal. You know, 21 of so many big choices they could pick up before me. I’m just blessed to be part of the NBA man.

And then playing, I had a few great moments, like Blocking SHAK (HOWD), blocking Games in Iordon, how to stand by the SUD Webb, abolishing on the webb, blocking LeBron. I had so many great moments, man, but I’m nurturing them all. I don’t have a special biggest moment because I’m all awesome.

Joshua Valdez: Yes, definitely. And for my last question, what advice do you have for players who are not the highest in the world trying to reach the upper level?

Nate Robinson: Dude, never give up, brother. Or everyone. That’s what I did. There was no secret to reach the next level, or even arrive at any level you want to arrive that you were a little guy, brother. You just have to sand and allow what all Naisaiers say they go to one ear and another. Believe in yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself, how can anyone else believe in you? Believe in yourself, put the best foot every time you step in court or anything you do.

And then it’s on top of that, the main thing you need to do is fun. If it’s not fun, you can’t do that, because basketball is just a game. And yes, there are hard moments in play and periods where you have to have stone cold skills and be fierce, solid and strong, but it must be fun. It must be fun in the man with those moments, because the pressure cracks, but great pressure creates diamonds. And you can be a diamond in rough, and you have to get it out of the mud. You must be one of these guys ready to do all the hard things that most guys bigger (will do). They get easier way to league because they are high, but you need to be willing to do everything and download overtime to move to the next level and be the best to be able to be.

Joshua Valdez: Thank you very much. That was great, I appreciate it.

Nate Robinson: You are welcome.
