Nate Robinson Signed a Baby at a Summer League Game

Just when you thought the act of celebrities autographing other people had died forever, Nate Robinson comes in with a fresh shot of life.

The current free agent was hanging around an NBA Summer League game in Las Vegas between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Charlotte Bobcats (soon to be Hornets) when someone held out a baby for an autograph.

With enough sense to not let an infant go unsigned, Robinson grabbed a Sharpie and went to work, scribbling on the child’s back as the father watched on joyfully.

Would you let Nate Robinson sign your baby? Surveys say “yes.”

While it’s unclear how the exchange went down, we can assume it went something like this:

“Hey, Nate. Can I get your autograph?”

“Sure thing.”

“Um, I don’t have a napkin or anything. Can you sign my kid?”

“You got it."

Still toeing the waters of free agency, there’s not much left for Nate the Great to do besides autograph children. His 2012-13 season with the Chicago Bulls ended with a flurry of explosive scoring and gritty displays of determination, but the minimum contract offer the franchise offered to keep him around has not been—and probably won’t be—accepted.

Other suitors haven’t been quick to pick up Robinson, leaving Nate fans around the NBA begging their teams to pick up the Mighty Mouse of combo guards.

Somebody sign Nate Robinson. He’s a great baby-signer, but you should see him play basketball.
