\n\"Cliff<\/img>Sad news<\/a> is coming out today from both the\u00a0Survivor\u00a0<\/em>and the NBA community.<\/p>\n

Early today, it was confirmed that Cliff Robinson, known as Uncle Cliffy and for being a star for the Portland Trail Blazers, died at the age of 53. While his athletic achievements are well-known, his television run on\u00a0Survivor: Cagayan\u00a0<\/em>proved to be rather entertaining in its own right. He served as one of the first great rivals to\u00a0Survivor\u00a0<\/em>legend Tony Vlachos, who felt as though he needed to eliminate him in order to establish further control of some of his allies. Cliff was larger-than-life and charismatic, and that made him a threat to go far into the game<\/a>. He was voted out before the merge, which remains a shame since he could\u2019ve done so much damage after the fact.<\/p>\n

We spoke to Cliff after his time on the show, and it was fascinating to hear him speak with such clarity about how he wanted to app<\/a>roach being out there, knowing that he was a big-name athlete who would probably be recognized:<\/p>\n

The game is constantly evolving and changing. You have the big game, and then you have the small game, and then you have the smaller game. Going in I wanted to help my tribe win challenges, put people at ease when it comes to my height and being a professional athlete. I was able to establish those two things, but I wasn\u2019t able to play that last card I wanted to play, which is \u2018you want to take me to the end, because who would want to vote for me?\u2019<\/p>\n

There are tributes aplenty already out there for Cliff, but we\u2019ll remember him for being an entertaining part of that season and overall, a gregarious guy who didn\u2019t just want to be defined by his playing career in the NBA. He had a thrill for adventure; if he didn\u2019t, he would have never opted to be a part of a season of\u00a0Survivor\u00a0<\/em>in the first place.<\/p>\n

Our thoughts go out to everyone who loved and cared about Cliff during this difficult time. (Photo: CBS.)<\/p>\n
