Nate Robinson using D-League opportunity to jumpstart potential NBA comeback

Nate Robinson is used to playing and performing well in front of large crowds.

He spent 10 years in the NBA playing in front of nearly 20,000 fans on a nightly basis, and helped sell out arenas in Israel during his short stint there in 2016.

But Tuesday night was a little different than what Robinson was typically used to. Maybe 200 people showed up to watch the 32-year-old as he suited up for the Delaware 87ers in Robinson’s first professional basketball action stateside since October 2015, his first points coming on a corner three as some children in attendance played in a moon bounce just off the court.
