Nate Robinson

I'm never going to retire from the NBA

I'm not retired, man. I'm never going to retire from the NBA. Just leave that there.

I would have been one of the greatest cornerbacks in NFL history

I'm not going to say Deion because Deion was such a great coach, but I would have been somewhere underneath primetime. I would have been right there at the primetime and playing the way that I play. I see myself as being one of the greatest corners to ever play the game.

I consider myself one of the greatest bench players in basketball history

I just knew that, all right, Nate, you're never going to be able to start. You're not going to be a starting point guard in this league, but we're going to make the best of it, and you're going to be one of the best players that ever come off the bench. And I think I did that, and I consider myself one of the greatest players that ever come off the bench to play the game of basketball.

If coaches had let me be myself, I could have scored 20+ points in a single quarter every night

I jokingly tell them, I was like, I can do that [score 23 straight points] every night if you give me the opportunity. This is not just something that just happens. Like, I can score like this and play this way if you guys really believe and let me be myself.

Nobody in the NBA could have stopped me on the night I dropped 45 points on Steve Blake

I would say my career high against Steve Blake. Steve Blake, I think that I had my career high at 45. I don't think nobody could have held me that night.
