Inside three-time NBA dunk champion Nate Robinson's silent battle -- and the fight for his life

Ex-Knick Robinson's kidney transplant successful
Ex-NBA guard Nate Robinson had a successful kidney transplant Friday at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle.
Nate Robinson has a new kidney.
The ex-NBA guard received the new organ during an hourslong transplant surgery that began Friday morning at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle.
Robinson, who began the day surrounded by friends and family, received his new kidney from a live donor.
As ESPN chronicled in the summer of 2024, Robinson first learned nearly 20 years ago, when he was playing for the New York Knicks, that his kidneys weren't functioning properly and that he would one day need a transplant.
Then, in 2021, Robinson learned that his kidneys were failing, and he began receiving weekly dialysis treatments at a Seattle clinic, where, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, he would sit in a chair from 5:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. while a tube pumped fluids in and out of his arm.
Robinson had assumed, initially, that he would automatically be placed on a waiting list for a kidney, and he struggled to navigate his way through the process.
In the fall of 2022, Robinson first went public about undergoing treatment for kidney failure, but it wasn't until two years later, in the spring of 2024, that he announced that he needed a donor.
Soon after, Robinson told ESPN last year, the University of Washington -- his alma mater -- was inundated with offers from people willing to donate their kidney.
Last fall, Robinson underwent a series of procedures, including a colonoscopy, as the number of donors were whittled down to find an ideal match.
Before the procedure began Friday, Robinson posted on his Instagram, saying, in part, "I'm here to celebrate and thank the LORD for all he has done in my life, today is the day I get my new kidney, thank you to all the people that sent prayers and texted my phone giving me encouragement (and) love!!!"
From 2005 through 2016, Robinson played 11 seasons in the NBA with eight different teams. He averaged 11 points per game, including 17.2 in 2008-09, his final season with the Knicks, and he won the slam dunk contest in 2006, 2009 and 2010.

Hell yeah - first thing I read today when I got home.
Continued health recovery, Nate.

When I was replying, I was thinking of one of our long-term patients at work. He's in his early-70s now. Back in his early to mid-60s he had kidney cancer, and one kidney was removed. That was his first surgery in his lifetime, and he was fairly nervous. I sat with him for awhile and gave him a pep talk prior to him heading off to his surgery at the hospital that day. Co-staff was transporting him there. Told him that modern medicine's the truth, and mentioned to him the various surgeries that myself, friends & family have had over the years. Got him smiling. He knew he wasn't alone in getting his health concern addressed.
Some years later a smaller amount of cancer was detected in the other kidney and he had a "walnut-sized" (not almond) portion removed from that one. We were concerned his health would decline moving forward, and he'd need regular dialysis or something similar.
He's had the regular follow-ups with the cancer agency over the years and fortunately he's in good health now. Thankfully no further issues.
I've known the guy for just over 20 years.
Always good to hear cases like his. Cancer is a such a bitch
This didn't age well
