Nate Robinson Was Being Interviewed When a Shirtless Guy Challenged Him to a 1-On-1 Game

Nate Robinson is a funny dude. He’s great at Twitter and he’s great at sports, but his decisions with both have been questionable to some. He is, after all, the guy who left the NBA to play basketball over in Israel and is now maybe-kind-of-sort-of kicking around the idea of going into the NFL.

He’s well-known for all of this, of course. The man had an amazing NBA career and his first game in Israel a few days ago was great. So, when he sat down for an interview with a TV station over there, it’s no surprise that he was recognized by someone on the street.

That someone — a shirtless cyclist — wasn’t really a fan, though. In fact, he challenged Robinson to a game of one-on-one and promised to “kick [his] ass.”

As previously mentioned, Robinson is funny. Here’s what he said after the guy rode away:

Now that’s an interview! That’s an interview! It’s awesome. That’s the first time ever somebody’s done that. Sick. So cool. The fans are great! How can you be mad at that?

Then, he shrugged, laughed, and said simply, “I’ll bust his ass.”

Sick. So cool.
