Former NBA slam dunk champion Nate Robinson has shared a heartbreaking update on his health battle with kidney failure. Robinson, 39, revealed that he desperately needs a kidney transplant and fears he "won't have long to live" without one.

A Decade-Long Struggle

Robinson's battle with kidney issues began much earlier than most fans realized. Though he first publicly disclosed his diagnosis of renal kidney failure in 2022, Robinson has been privately fighting the condition for the past four years.

Dialysis treatment has become a lifeline for Robinson, managing his condition and allowing him to live a somewhat normal life. However, the process is far from easy. Robinson endures dialysis sessions for four hours, three days a week, and the treatment comes with a harsh side effect: frequent and painful vomiting, sometimes requiring hospitalization.

Living for Today While Hoping for a Brighter Future

Despite the daunting  health update, Nate Robinson remains remarkably positive. He prioritizes spending time with loved ones and enjoying the good days when he feels healthy enough to play basketball, a sport that brought him so much success.

A Legacy Beyond the Court

Robinson's story transcends his impressive NBA career, which included three Slam Dunk Contest victories. He now serves as an inspiration, demonstrating resilience and courage in the face of a life-threatening illness.

Robinson's greatest challenge lies in finding a compatible kidney donor. He is actively seeking a donor and his story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of organ donation.
