Game Recap: Nate Robinson and Meredeith Vieira 5, Flint Tropics 2

by Seth on Feb 27, 2008 9:54 AM EST in Videos

Skip to about 3:45 for the opening tip.

In a dazzling exhibition of sharp guard play, Nate Robinson led his team to an exciting 5-2 victory over Will Ferrell and Woody Harrelson. Game notes:

I would do anything to have that Robinson jersey with "Today" on the front.
Vieira is like an undersized Jamal Crawford with better defensive instincts.
Nate doesn't do his full ball-around-the-waist routine on his free throw attempt. That's why he missed it.
We've heard about the Tim Donaghy scandal, but Bennett Salvatore let Vieira attempt two technical free throws. Something isn't right there.
Even against a sizable Tropics frontcourt, Eddy Curry got zero minutes.
UPDATE: I'm surprised nobody started a "Fire Isiah" chant in the crowd.

That's all for now. Real game coming later tonight. Peace.

(Tip of the hat to Will Brinson at the Fanhouse)

Nice find...

Great stuff. Riveting action. I kept expecting Nate Robinson to do something crazy, like whip a fastball pass to Meredith, but nope... this is the new, non-showboating Nate. A good sign of his maturity.

And man was I disappointed in Woody Harrellson. I won't be able to watch "White Men Can't Jump" anymore. Though, to be fair, it's hard to play basketball on carpet....
