Nate Robinson is finding out rather quickly that playing basketball overseas is a little different than playing in the NBA.
For one, the competition isn’t as great, which Robinson likely learned during his debut for Hapoel Tel Aviv. The 31-year-old journeyman played in just two games for the NBA’s New Orleans Pelicans earlier this season but splashed in 25 points during his debut in Israel.
And secondly, there’s always a chance your interview in the park could be crashed by a crazy, shirtless bicyclist. Don’t believe us? Check out the video below, which shows Robinson dealing with a trash-talking hoops enthusiast.
The guy who interrupted Robinson claims to be a baller himself. And some Internet chatter suggests that might be the case. It’s hard to imagine the dude giving Robinson a run for his money on the court, though. Robinson is a former NBA player and a three-time slam dunk champion. The other guy seems like a chatterbox who doesn’t enjoy wearing clothes.
Maybe Robinson shouldn’t have been so quick to give up on his NFL dreams, though this could be a fun ride if nothing else.
