Nate, Late Night

Nate Robinson appeared on the "The Late Show with David Letterman" last night, dunking over Biff Henderson, Letterman's stage manager. If I were Nate, I'd be a bit wary about turning into a circus act, but I have to give it to him: he's a natural showman and really does seem to thrive in the limelight. Since Nate seems intent on always being on, I can at least find some comfort in the fact that he didn't hurt himself and, in the three or four minutes he bantered with Letterman, came off better than, say, a contestant in Letterman's "Stupid Human Tricks" segment, and, thank God, Joaquin Phoenix.
