Mitchell Robinson’s not just hooping for the city right now—he’s playing for something way bigger. With the Knicks heading into a tough Game 1 against the Pacers, the big man dropped a heartfelt note that stopped Knicks Twitter in its tracks. No stats, no flex, just raw emotion and a glimpse into what’s really fueling his grind this postseason.
“As we making history in this playoffs push. Not a day goes by when I don’t think about you. I know you up there watching me on the big stage defending thee city of NEW YORK like you told me in high school ‘give em hell’. Mama thank you for everything, watching over me, getting me healthy to pursue this dream I’ve been chasing my whole life. I love and miss you.”
That’s not just a caption—it’s a mission statement. Robinson’s been through it with injuries, rotations, and all the noise about his offense. But what never gets talked about enough? His defensive presence and how much he means to New York’s interior. When he’s locked in, the paint is a no-fly zone.
