Mitchell Robinson · In a well-thought-out analysis of 2025’s Eastern Conference Finals, the Indiana Pacers’ all-time leading scorer previewed the series through a boxing analogy, reasoning that New York would counter Indiana’s all-hands-on-deck “jab” approach with “Tyson-like haymakers” of their own. As he entered the highlight reels with tireless rebound chasedowns and ferocious alley-oop jams, one after another, Mitchell Robinson certainly appeared to be on board with said line of thinking. Etching his signature into every game through one well-timed pick-and-roll, the New York Knicks’ always-energetic seventh-year big man does just that, speeding through an unguarded lane through the paint before elevating for a fierce lob throwdown. Enough of a physical specimen that even Indiana’s floor general had to admire, Robinson provided an around-the-box-score spark, even in May 21, 2025’s heartbreaking Game One loss. In 21 minutes time, Robinson concluded with a two-point, eight-rebound, one-assist, one-steal, one-block tally, accompanied by seven “screen assists,” and 16 points created off those picks. · State of Mint
