Mitchell Robinson in action for the New York Knicks
The Knicks center has an incredible 19 dogs
Robinson loves country music star Morgan Wallen
He also has a passion for big trucks
Earlier this month at Madison Square Garden, the unwavering rebounder proved his worth by stopping superstar Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs.
However, Robinson appreciates the great outdoors, country music, fishing, large trucks, and having pets away from the bustle of the Big Apple.
Robinson disclosed to the New York Post, “I have 19 dogs.”
Robinson began with eight rottweilers, Kodak being the oldest. Since then, the pack has expanded to include more puppies.
The 25-year-old also has a golden retriever and a labrador.
The Knicks center housed sugar gliders, a possum-like animal, as pets in addition to canines, but his cats devoured them.
The Pensacola, Florida, native is an accomplished fisherman who has a penchant for capturing redfish from boats.
“I cook them,” he declared.
“I grill my fish, yeah.”
Robinson also has a fondness for large vehicles and country music artist Morgan Wallen.
Robinson said, “You would know that if you follow my TikTоk.”
Robinson chose White Plains over Manhattan as his place to live in New York because he loves the great outdoors.
He remarked, “[New York] is just too fast-paced for me.”
Simply said, I’m not into it. Too much is crammed in. I enjoy having room.
Robinson, who was selected in the 2018 NBA Draft by the Knicks, also owns a home in Louisiana, where he maintains a lot of his animals.
