Nate Robinson is My Boy

OK. I admit it. I am a huge Nate Robinson fan. There are three reasons for this.

1. He's small (for an NBA player).


2. He's a Knick (until Isaiah trades him).


3. He's an incredibly talented player.

He also just got suspended for 10 games for his role in the Garden Brawl. Which is fine. He was on the court, he got in a fight with another player (J.R. Smith) and that's not what the NBA is about (yet). Both were suspended for ten games, which is appropriate. The problem is this description in the Times.

The Knicks’ Nate Robinson, who escalated the fight by grabbing J.R. Smith and spinning him into the front row of the stands, received a 10-game suspension.

Picture that scene in your mind (Nate Robinson gives up about a foot on J.R. Smith). Got it? Now watch the video (it's on YouTube now). That's not what happened.

Apparently the Times has decided that they hate the Knicks. Not just the team and the players and the coaches, managers, and owners, they also apparently have a great disdain for the announcers.
