Robinson is trying to prove the doubters wrong.
It's Thomas Robinson's fourth year in the NBA, and we're yet to see any regular-season evidence that he can be close to the player scouts thought be'd become when he heard his name called fifth in the 2012 NBA draft. Instead, Robinson has lingered around the league, playing stints with the Kings, Rockets, Trail Blazers and 76ers while also even acting as a member of the Nuggets for a day last year before Denver waived him.
It's been a rough NBA life for Robinson, but it appears, through some acts of self-awareness, he's not trying to change that with the Nets.
