What a great trade! We are lucky to have the Big Dog.

Most here know I don't post on everything I read, but I had to post here.

Great interview by Dawg...it shows that he's the grown up. Saying all the right things when Milwaukee tried to dump everything on him like it was his fault. That was class.

Again, no big surprises in that piece, as Robinson has said and done all the right things since landing in the ATL this summer.

Now, he is backing up his preseason words with his play on the court.

willingness to help the young guys:

"Has the experience with Ray Allen affected how you will approach that role of taking rookies under your wing in the future?

GR: That’s my job. It’s all veteran’s job to pass along what they know, their knowledge of the game to the younger guys. Whatever I can do to help… Like right now, I try to talk to Jason Terry a lot, Dion Glover, Ira Newble, just trying to help them better their game, being more selective about things, what they do on the court."

That is the type of veteran leadership we need to get to the next level.

He said that he didn't always feel that way, that just doing his thing to the best of his abilities was enough, but he realized that there was more to offer, and I am glad he is doing it here.

Definately MIL's loss....
