That's like asking why Ronnie Coleman is so ripped.
Just like Ronnie, Nate Robinson wakes up early everyday, spends hours at the gym, hours on the court and then when game time comes he can show his 40 inch vertical off. Every athlete is good for a couple reasons. The biggest reason being that they train until tears come out of their eyes. They go to extreme limits, but it's all worth it. And this why Nate Robinson can jump so high. Because he works out and trains and he can jump high. No one gave him that ability, he earned it. Anyone at 5'9" could jump that high if they worked at it, but not everyone at 5'9" has the mental capability to handle all of that training. You need to be determined and hardhead to achieve something like this. How he got to jump that high is only 25% physical, 75% mental but how he does it is more physical then mental. I hope that answers your question.

because he has really strong legs, because the mechanics of his jumps are very efficient, and perhaps most importantly, he was born with a very high-proportion of fast-twitch muscle in his legs, which means he is genetically predisposed to jump higher than someone with the same strength and mechanics. this is because his muscles expend their energy faster, imparting mroe upward force

He probaly does some intensive training. Constantly working those muscles helps him jump with a greater force. It also helps that he is very little and doesn't have much weight to force upwards.
