Nate Robinson marches to the beat of his own drum. That’s why his unique lockout plans aren’t so surprising.

Whereas many NBA players talk of heading overseas to play internationally if the lockout lingers, Robinson has other ideas.

“I might go play football,” Robinson told SLAM on the phone. “Do something that nobody’s tried to do.”

More than a publicity stunt—see: Chad Ochocinco and soccer—there’s no doubting the 27-year-old’s pigskin pedigree.

The son of a college football player, Robinson initially attended the University of Washington on a football scholarship. The 5-9 Seattle, WA, native blossomed into a first round NBA Draft pick, but not before playing one stellar collegiate season at cornerback for the Huskies.

“If I can, I would love to play football a little bit,” says Robinson less than half-jokingly. “I’ve been doing a little bit of training.”
