In addition to bittering a shameful defeat in his debut as a boxer, Nate Robinson had to endure the taunts of his former NBA teammates. Former player for teams such as New York Nicks, Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls, the North American ended up losing tragically last Saturday (28), in Los Angeles, in his challenge against Jake Paul, on the 'Tyson x Jones Jr.' card. After the brutal knockout suffered in the second round, the former slam dunk champion ended up being the target of jokes from his former basketball teammates.

NBA star and great reference in the history of the sport, Stephen Curry showed respect, but didn't fail to take a bite out of Robinson.

“I don’t see lies,” Curry wrote, responding to a message from Nate, stating that it would shock the world.

Hours before his performance last weekend, Robinson had released an image expressing his confidence and desire to properly represent his former teammates and his family. The message ended up serving as fuel for greater provocations.

“Tonight I will fight for my NBA brothers, for athletes around the world and, most importantly, for my children,” he wrote.

After watching his friend faint in the ring, after collapsing with a well-aimed cross to the chin, Stephen still tried to praise Nate's participation in the event.

“Nate is not just another one. I loved the confidence, man”, he concluded.

Nate's not a +1 either…Love the confidence man. Love it.

Denver Nuggets player Nick Young also joked about the situation. Scoring Jake Paul in the publication, the athlete stated that he was 'taking Nate home, exhausted'. After the text, Nick concluded with 'this was not a representation of the NBA family'.
