You've got to get used to it. He said you need a great point guard to be a great team. I just take that into consideration that he wants me to be great. They don't call me Nate the Great for nothing. I've got to live up to the name and live up to the expectations that he wants. He's hard on me and I love it.

[The only other team that has matched that feat is Illinois, whose two stars made an impression on Robinson over the summer.] I observed the way Dee and Deron played at the Nike Camp [in Indianapolis], ... They share the ball well; I mean, they average about 13 points apiece and they could both score 20 -- they do what they have to do to help the team.

I wasn't a point guard. I was a killer.

I ran track for my school. I played football, but I didn't play for my high school; I played for a little league team.

I've always been the coach on the team; all my teams, ... Point guard, quarterback ... regardless I was a player-coach.

He'll definitely be a part of our team. He's a quick-as-lightning point guard who can pass and shoot. He's also got a great feel for the game.
