Two things about Nate Robinson's attempt to steal the jump ball away from the Raptors here.
Nate Robinson’s new (illegal) jump ball equalizer
Nate Robinson thinks he can outsmart Rudy Gay on a jump ball. Nope.
1. That’s illegal. Jump ball participants cannot take possession of the ball, only tip it. That’s why Gay didn’t just jump up and catch the ball.
2. Nate Robinson might actually be able to beat a lot of NBA guys on a jump ball. Not Rudy Gay, who can soar. But a lot of guys. Despite being 5'2.
