Nate Robinson hasn't played in an NBA game since he was waived by the New Orleans Pelicans in late October, and a subsequent tryout in China didn't result in a gig overseas. If the 11-year NBA veteran's got anything to say about it, though, a lack of interest in his services as a basketball player doesn't necessarily mean his career as a professional athlete is over. [ Join a Yahoo Daily Fantasy Basketball contest today ] In a video Wednesday Thursday by The Lead Sports , Robinson announced his intentions to change venues and pursue a career in the NFL. That, of course, sounds crazy, as Robinson is less than three months away from his 32nd birthday, hasn't played football in 11 or 12 years, and was last listed at 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds. That said, Nate saying he's interested in changing lanes isn't exactly the same as many other longtime NBA pros doing so. Before embarking on an NBA career that would see him suit up for the New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, Chicago Bulls, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers and Pelicans, Robinson was a standout high school football player in his native Seattle, totaling more than 1,700 combined rushing and receiving yards with 21 total touchdowns during his senior season at Rainier High School en route to being named Washington's Class AAA Player of the Year by the Seattle Times . Robinson went to the University of Washington in 2002 on a football scholarship, planning to walk onto the Huskies' basketball team as well. He played in all 13 UW football games as a true freshman, making six starts at cornerback. After that one season, though, he decided to quit football to focus on basketball , a decision that paid off when he became a first-round pick in the 2005 NBA draft. "In my mind, I've seen one athlete that can do this," says Robinson's former coach at Washington, Rick Neuheisel, in the video. "And that's Nate Robinson." Continue to Article
