If I know anything, it's that mediocre players who happen to play spectacular in must-win playoff games need to capitalize off of the opportunities that are sure to arise. Robinson already set the stage for a "Rob and Big" type reality show.
I can see it now. VH1 picks up the reality show and can call it "Nate and The Baby" or "Baby Nate," something like that. I'm assuming the title "Shrek and Donkey" would be copyright infringement. Point is, any title would be more creative than "The T.O. Show."
Cue the silly synth driven theme music, and start by showing Robinson's cut to the basket and teardrop shot. After he turns around screaming, they pause and flash across the screen "Nate" or "Nate the Great," whatever. Then cut to the shot of Davis slobbering to the title of "Big Baby." Then you get the two of them sitting in the studio explaining how they were once bench warmers to an overachieving playoff team. Then we got out chance....Cut to shot of Robinson in the interview saying, "We're like, we're like, Shrek and Donkey, it's crazy." And then they can show them slapping hands in slow motion.
The premise could involve them doing some "Fear Factor"-esque challenges in competition for playing time. Doc Rivers makes a special appearance, and the last episode can be the serious one where "Big Baby" opens up about how he really feels about KG.
When they're not competing in challenges, Robinson and Davis can live together in a rented mansion, where they throw huge parties with Michael Beasley while they're supposed to be training in the off season. Fellow NBA players show up and hilarity ensues when Davis and Pacers PG Earl Watson find themselves competing for the same woman.
Make this happen VH1. It's time to move on from unsigned wide receivers as reality stars. We want NBA players who play less than 20 minutes a game.
