NBA stars react to Nate Robinson getting knocked out: ‘I wanna fight Jake Paul’

Nate Robinson suffered a vicious knockout at the hands of Jake Paul on Saturday, and NBA stars couldn’t help but react to their fallen brother.

Robinson — who before the match said he was fighting for his brothers in the NBA — was beat handily and in humiliating fashion by the YouTube star. The three-time NBA Dunk Contest champion suffered two knockdowns in the first round alone before suffering another knockdown and eventual KO in the second.
