The New York Knicks have had an admirable season so far and are the fifth-best team in the East right now with a 41-30 record.
While certain players like Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle have received the most attention, the team is filled with multiple talented athletes who are making success possible and giving fans something to be excited about.
Mitchell Robinson is averaging 7.5 points and 9.1 rebounds a game on 68.8% from the field.
He has started in 48 of his 49 games this year and you would think he’d be happy with his role within the team.
But apparently, that isn’t the case.
Bleacher Report posted images from Robinson’s social media account, where he complained about being “Tired asf of just being out there for cardio.”

There is no doubt that Robinson has been part of the team’s victorious season but it’s also clear that he’s not the most important part of the Knicks.
He obviously wants a bigger role within the team, but will he get it?
Robinson’s displeasure isn’t the first time that a player has been unhappy with what head coach Tom Thibodeau has done.
Multiple stars, especially Kemba Walker, have experienced what it’s like to not get enough time or a big enough role because of Thibodeau’s plans.
What does the future hold for Robinson?
Will he remain with the Knicks in the offseason and be a part of their lineup in the new season?
Or will he be shipped away to a team that will make him feel as valuable as he wants?
Maybe Robinson will feel differently if the Knicks find great success in the postseason.
Winning a lot has a tendency to make people happier.
