Thought he had some injuries and was mostly cap fodder for the trade. I think he is a free agent again this year.

Forget Mar-BU-LI, this kid could tear up China and be a marketing superstar with his game.

Nate was special for sure but his personality and style of play was always fun to watch.

A kid playing a mans game. In China it could be great for him!

Pretty sure he had knee surgery. Nice try though.



I prefer Robinson to Douglas at this point.

He is not benched he is hurt and has been since the trade. I think if he was healthy he could help them a lot in this series.

Nate played 19 minutes in the season finale and has been one of the 12 active players during the playoffs. He is available to play.

The Thunder should obviously fire their coach.

Hey man why are bringing facts into this? Nevermind the fact he was on the bench in uniform clowning around as the Thunder were winning! He was moving well. I actually wouldn't mind having him back. He's still an explosive player. I think he could still help teams as an energizer off the bench.

He had surgery on March 4 and was expected to be out 4-6 weeks. Does 19 minutes coming back from an injury make you ready to play for a new team in the playoffs?

Didn't one of the NY media complain he'd stink up the whole Garden regularly before a game? Then there's this.....

I'm sure Nate could be fun. Certainly a freak athlete with special skills. Perhaps he will mature before he breaks his neck.

so you think he should go the NFL route? Better suited for pads? Or maybe he suffers from too many concusssions already?

Nate was a cornerback... he played the defensive side of the ball...

You imply cornerbacks don't get concussions? Or that it's possible he made some tackles with his helmet?

Nate is another player overrated by Knick fans who will end up being a journeyman fringe rotation guy for the rest of his career.

that video is great!

He should be a Globetrotter! If he was 6'5 and a little more focused he would be the best player on the planet.

He reminds me of my Miniature Pincher, a great dog, way too much personality, hyper, athletic, loyal and wants to please. We love the little guy who is 7 now but we will never get this breed again. All my friends think he is the greatest dog but they don't have to live with him. Come to think of it, we don't either! But we do.

So we balance the trade deficit by shipping all the pseudo-mentally unstable short players to China? This smacks of a subtle racism against little people. Maybe AI should be in China too? Send Avery Johnson over to coach?
