Nate Robinson has always prided himself on being a different kind of player. Now, if the only man under six-feet tall to ever win a NBA slam dunk has his way, he could find himself standing alone through eternity.
Robinson, who has played for six (Knicks, Bulls, Nuggets, Thunder, Warriors, Celtics) NBA teams over the course of his eight-year career, recently told NBA.com he would like to play for all 30 of the league's teams before he hangs up his sneakers.
"If I can be the first player to play for every team in the league, I want to do it," Robinson told the website on Wednesday, minutes after helping to spark the Denver Nuggets to their seventh win in eight games.
Since February of 2010, Robinson has played for five teams, none more memorably than the Bulls last season when serving as a replacement for the injured Derrick Rose who led the team to an improbable second-round playoff showing.
According to Basketball Reference, the record for most NBA franchises played for is 12, shared by Chucky Brown, Jim Jackson, Tony Massenburg and Joe Smith.
