Duncan Robinson is a talented professional American player who currently stars for the Miami Heat of the NBA League.

Robinson had initially failed to make it in the NBA draft. However, his fate completely changed after the Heat gave him an opportunity in the 2018-19 season.

Duncan has appeared in every season for the club since 2018 and is now one of their best shooting guards.

Early Life, Family & Education

On April 22, 1994, Duncan Robinson was born in York, Maine, United States. He was the youngest child of Jeffrey and Elisabeth Robinson.

Before him, his parents had given birth to his sister Marta and a brother named Eli. Duncan’s family moved to North Hampshire when he was a little kid.

His mother, Elisabeth, was a certified medical practitioner and nurse, so she used to work at a hospital in North Hampshire.

She belonged to the same area and had a degree in nursing and arts from the University of Hampshire.

He initially attended Maude H. Trefethen Elementary School, located nearby his residence, until he finished his sixth grade. Even though very few students were in his classroom, he had fun while growing up.

Because of his friendly manners, he could easily catch up with other kids, even the older ones. As a result, he began playing games with them and grew fond of sports over time.

However, football and basketball were among his best sports. He regularly practiced shots on the streets with his friends and at home with his siblings, apart from playing at school. 

He was fully invested in the sport from his teenage years.

Although his mom, Elisabeth, used to be at work most of the time, she managed to be with them whenever needed. His father set up a mini hoop in their living room to cheer him up.

Furthermore, he graduated high school in 2012 but joined the Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire for a year before joining the college in 2013.

Robinson holds a Bachelor’s degree in Sports Management from the University of Michigan.
