Nate Robinson Salute at line... 

Post#1 » by knicks2k9 » Thu Jan 29, 2009 3:11 am

Best story of the night: Anybody remember seeing Nate Robinson go to the free throw line on Friday night and salute the crowd? Turns out he'd been playing Call of Duty online and was telling people that he plays for the Knicks. When this was met with disbelief, he vowed to give a salute at the free throw line in his next game to prove his identity to everybody. Sure enough, any COD players watching the Knicks face the Grizzlies got a salute from their teammate. Somehow, that story is all you need to understand Nate Robinson's persona..

Can anybody confirm this?

Yep, Nate is still saluting. One hopes that the refs take it as a sign of respect from him, and don't pick up it is tied to CoD:W@W. Well, short of that, one hopes it does teach Nate some manners :-P
