[@BroccoliHead7]

How did you know you needed a transplant and that there was something wrong? Like what were some of the beginning symptoms you experienced

[@efrainmendoza7932]

@@BroccoliHead7some symptoms that I had were bowl problems. I was tired all the time. I did not have appetite. And also, felt like I had depression, like sleeping all the time, being sad and not wanting to do anything. I was diagnosed with stage 5, end stage renal failure last year. The doctors will let you know if you qualify for a transplant.

[@ReggieDII]

I’m a KNICKS FAN 4 LIFE and I loved Nate Robinson from Day 1 when we drafted him. I was so mad and hurt when they let “Baby Nate” go he was supposed to be a Knick for the long haul. Nate was my player on 2k before J.R. Smith. I will forever love Nate, I put money on him to win against Jake Paul. And despite the outcome I still rock with him. #holddat

[@cleancomedy]

I just saw the story about Nate Robinson needing a life-saving kidney transplant and it touched me. I just celebrated my ninth year of my kidney transplant which happened to take place on April 5, 2015 Easter Sunday.  I had my transplant at Cleveland Clinic by one of the 20 African-American transplant surgeons in North America, Dr Charles Modlin. I did dialysis for 2 1/2 years once I got on the list in December 2014 it only took me 90 days to get my kidney. I was to suggest a couple of things I got my kidney because of the opioid epidemic and someone had to die so I could live . I got on the high risk transplant list which met the 24 year-old woman died from a heroin overdose also had Hep-C. I did too, thanks to a tattoo in ATL in the 90s. There is a cure for HEP-C, after my transplant it took 10 weeks to test negative for HEP-C. Nate should consider moving to a state with heavy opioid overdose deaths or partner with a hospital in those areas. Gods BEST!

[@thebartertownconglomerate]

[@rickyrosales5415]

The stress of dealing with the humbling loss to Paul could have accelerated the disease. Being humbled in front of world, as a 5'9" NBA 3x Dunk champ. Thats a far fall. God be with you Nate.

[@K_Ken115]

I got a Nate Robinson jersey for my baby girl back in the day. Love Nate ❤️🙏🏾

[@tiemann55]

When Nate was In Chicago , he was amazing ! While D Rose was hurt , he was killing the Lebron Heat team in the playoffs . Not enough help

[@Domo-yo4pz]

He blocked Labron when he played for Chicago 😂😂😂😂. Then scored after the black. I'll never forget that hard ass worker
