He's trying to make a comeback because he's broke.

Kendall Gill redux

He's not making it back to the league. He has too big of personality. He also bounced around because he's 5'9" and a gunner. He was good.
He's probably still good enough, but this is not a rare story. Guys bounce around and fizzle out. He had a good career. -

if i was '5'9"' and playing in the nba id be depressed too.
"The hardest thing in my whole life, of my 34 years in existence on earth, was dealing with 11 years in the NBA of trying to be somebody that [NBA coaches] want me to be," Robinson said.
is he a millennial?
Robinson said that he was looked down on for his behavior. While he enjoyed playing with a little flair or joking around, he felt that he was being punished for his actions. It seemed to him that other people thought the solution to his problem was to be quiet and serious.
he's a millennial. -
I always felt like his height was his biggest issue. He didn’t help himself but teams would have been more willing to put up with him if he was 4 inches taller. He’s out of the league because he got old and stopped producing. He needed every ounce of his athleticism and once he lost even half a step he was going to have trouble at his height.

6'7" with a wingspan can hide a lot of warts.allpurpleallgold said:I always felt like his height was his biggest issue.

5'9" without much of a jumper................ -

What a fucking pussy.

They took my rings they took my Rolex. At this point his games probably better suited for the Cage or Rucker’s.
