Career
After going undrafted in the 2006 NBA draft, Robinson had a short stint with the Los Angeles Clippers during their preseason before embarking on his professional journey in France with CSP Limoges. He then signed with the Polish team Śląsk Wrocław for the 2007–08 campaign.
In 2008, Robinson moved to Italy to play for Prima Veroli in the LegADue, renewing his contract for a second year in 2009. By February 2010, he transferred to Reyer Venezia Mestre, but his time there was cut short after a week due to injury.
Robinson joined the Erie BayHawks of the NBA D-League in November 2010. The following January, he inked a deal with Italian squad Trenkwalder Reggio Emilia, where he extended his stay twice before parting ways in September 2012 as he recovered from forearm surgery sustained in a car accident.
In December 2012, he signed with Germany’s Skyliners Frankfurt, re-upping for another season in July 2013 but departing by October. Soon after, Robinson joined Israeli side Barak Netanya, finishing the season there.
Robinson secured a one-year contract with Italian club Pallacanestro Varese in July 2014 but left midway through the season in January 2015 to join Germany’s Brose Baskets for the remainder of that year.
August 2015 saw him sign with Italy’s Auxilium CUS Torino, though he exited after eight appearances. In January 2016, he moved to Slovenia to play for Union Olimpija for the rest of that season.
His final professional engagement was with Italian team Tezenis Verona during the 2016–17 season. Robinson announced his retirement from professional basketball in December 2017.
