Despite never earning a full-time starting role, point guard Nate Robinson’s NBA career is full of memorable moments. He’s a three-time Slam Dunk Contest champion, he’s dropped 40-plus points on three occasions, and he — at 5-foot-9 — once stuffed 7-foot-6 center Yao Ming at the basket.
But his absolute favorite NBA memory is a no-brainer from his rookie year.
“My game-winning shot over Allen Iverson,” Robinson told Boston.com. “That one probably takes the cake.”
With the score tied and the clock winding down in overtime of a regular-season game between the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers, former Knicks point guard Stephon Marbury dribbled the ball down the court and dished it to Robinson, who hoisted a three-point attempt as time expired.
