Los Angeles Lakers players called Miami Heat sharpshooter Duncan Robinson “Jimmy Neutron” during the 2020 NBA Finals at Walt Disney World.
The source of this hilarious tidbit? None other than Robinson himself.

The Heat lost to the Lakers in six games in the Finals. Duncan Robinson averaged 12.5 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists in the series while shooting 40.4 percent from the field, 39.1 percent from beyond the arc and a perfect 100.0 percent from the free throw line.
Lakers shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was going at Robinson in Game 6, as KCP was getting irritated by the Heat wing, per Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports.
“You ain’t nothing,” Caldwell-Pope shouted at Robinson with 2:50 left in the half while Miami’s Bam Adebayo was at the free-throw line. Referee James Capers warned Caldwell-Pope to cool it down and he replied, “He’s the one talking sh–. He ain’t getting nothing tonight.”
Robinson finished Game 6 with 10 points on 3-of-8 shooting. The Lakers easily won the contest to take home championship No. 17 in franchise history.
The Heat, despite losing the Finals, have a bright future with All-Stars Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo leading the way, not to mention the club has cap space to sign two max-contract players in 2021. The Heat have been heavily linked to Giannis Antetokounmpo and Victor Oladipo.
Robinson, who is an undrafted player, had his coming out party in the 2020 playoffs at Disney World. The Heat are excited to see how Robinson and Tyler Herro improve their game this offseason.
