[Mel_13]

Wow, this is unexpected and fantastic!:toast

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Hahah... illegal offense

[whottt]

Holy shit!

[whottt]

i thought timvp didnt exist

He doesn't, unless he wants you to join a fantasy football league or something, then you get a pm, but if you don't pm him back in time, it's like he stops existing...or maybe it's you that does.

I can't quite tell which one it is.

[whottt]

Hey can someone record David's quad double game for me today...just for me to view later naturally, no illegal trading involved.

I haven't seen that game since I was saw it person...

[DPG21920]

Whotttttttttttt is going to explode.


Holy shit!

:hat

[urunobili]

I haven't seen that game since I was saw it person...

Show off...

[whottt]

After watching that I'd like to drop a big FU on Linda Cohn for saying the Clippers played no D in that game, a few years ago. They defended David the way everyone else did...maybe more so.


What's funny is that out of David's entire career...I've never seem him look tired like he did at the end of that game :lol.

[whottt]

spursdotcom rocks for providing this.


Thanks, you have no idea how long Spurs fans have been wanting to see this...

[DPG21920]

I have posted some porn for Whottt

That is awesome. Great footage of an incredible player.

Thanks spursdotcom!

thanx

[TDMVPDPOY]

saw the clip

lol demolution man dennis the worm rodman, was pretty ripped there also....

terry cummings wow he looked like he could be a ball handler in that clip

[alamo50]

Why did it take so long?!?!



First dunk of the game at the end of the 3rd when Big Dave already had 40+ points, "for all you O'Neal fans"!

SUWEET!!!!

[EricB]

Now thats how a play by play guy should sound...

Just watching that, its amazing the team won 50 games with those players and that coach.

Just shocking.

[whottt]

Just shocking.

55 games...they had a better record than the Jazz did, and the Jazz had Stockton, Malone, Hornacek, Tom Chambers...that's 3 HOF'ers(Chambers is a HOF level player) and an All Star there...not to mention a HOF coach.

Yet David is some kind of weak bitch because he can't beat them when Rodman is more worried about getting into Madonna's pants than showing up for games, TC is playing on one knee, Willie is playing on one foot, and Drob has an all time great PG combo of Sleepy Floyd(in his last season on his absolutely laaaaast legs) and Vinny Del Negro....

And oh yeah...he's got a rookie head coach on top of it.

Like I say...David's crime was not failing to win a title with that team, it was carrying that lump of crap into the post season.

I've seen Hakeem, Shaq and can see Wilt and Kareem, fail to make the playoffs with much much much better teams.

[Horry For 3!]

That was sweet :)

[DPG21920]

I miss that guy. I always loved how fast he got to the rim off of a pump fake or drive.

[EricB]

and john lucas was the coach.

Don't forget Negele Knight in the PG combo. Tarkanian quit "supposedly" because they wouldn't get a "quality point guard" :lol

The drek that McCombs and Bass put around him was criminal...

But hey, I was young and didn't know any better to be pissed off about it at the time :lol

The Spurs brass got away with it because David could cover up any weaknesses...

No rebounding? Dave wins a rebounding title(he needed Rodman to cover that weakness like he needed a hole in the head)


Need scoring? Dave wins a scoring title.

Need D? Dave puts up 4 and a half blocks and 2 and a half steals per game.

No PG? No problem...Dave averages 4.8 assists per game...while he leads the league in scoring.


In fact the only thing David Robinson could not do...was the be the guy knocking down the perimeter shots that pulled the extra defenders off of him while he was simultaneously in the paint. It's physically impossible...even for David Robinson.

Dale Ellis can do it!!! Oh wait, he needs David to set a screen for him to get open.

Person can do it!!! eh....

[Mark in Austin]

Clearly it took some effort to match up all the scouting video with the radio play-by-play. Thanks to the Spurs for doing this. What a treasure.

[whottt]

Dale Ellis can do it!!! Oh wait, he needs David to set a screen for him to get open.

It's a little known fact that Dale Ellis actually died in 1991 and his corpse continued to play basketball for a handful of years afterwards.




Person can do it!!! eh....

Actually, Chuck Person could do it....he's the one guy David played with that actully could, unfortuntely it takes more than one guy.

Other than that...Bruce Bowen was more of a legitimate perimeter threat than Vinny, or AJ or most of the guys Drob played with other than Elliott.

When Kobe tried to double Tim off of Bruce...Bruce dropped 27 points on his ass and it was never attempted again.

[ambchang]

Fantastic find, spursdotcom, I have longing to see this.

BTW, those were some pretty tough shots, long jumpers, drives, turnarounds, David did it all, and was doubled/tripled most of that time.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great video

Thanks!!!!

[duncan228]

Robinson's quad-double game is airing on ESPN Classic at 5pm (CST) and on NBA TV at 7:30pm (CST) today.

Double check the times where you are in case I'm off. :)

[baseline bum]

Thank you spursdotcom for the single greatest post in the history of Spurstalk. :tu

I have been wanting to see this for 15 years now.

[xellos88330]

Loved the video. Never seen it before and always wondered about it. Props to the fans that were at that game cheering on the Admiral.

[Phenomanul]

Exactly. I'm in shock that I can finally watch this game. I listened to it on the radio (it wasn't televised at all) and ever since that day I've tried to find the footage. I gave up a few years ago when I was told that it just didn't exist.

This is like the holy grail of Spurs fandom.

:worthy:

[Spurminator]

Thank you for this. Great stuff. DRob was a freak of nature.

[sa_kid20]

Man this is great! I had only seen a youtube video of this game but it was only like 2:30 long and didn't have any commentary or anything. This really shows just how awesome David was that game and having Jay Howard on the call is also great!

[The Truth #6]

Goosebumps.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

My list of "things to see before I die" just got another checkmark on it.

Thanks spursdotcom!!

[Brazil]

Great Vid ! Damn.

2 things really amazing for me: 1- he scored 71 points with only 2 dunks it means 67 points on JS, lay ups and FTs and 2- How humble is this guy !! He begun to celebrate a little after his last JS.

[spursdotcom]

Our broadcasting dept. really helped in getting us this footage, we're very happy to be able to bring it to life on the web.

great post, I can't stand when people say DRob didn't care about winning.

That video is awesome, they threw everything at DRob after he scored 30 they were triple teaming him regularly.

[ChumpDumper]

Thanks you so much for posting this piece of NBA history.

A couple of very minor technical quibbles.

Is the original 4:3 aspect ratio is stretched to 16:9 or is it cropped to fit a 16:9 frame? I just don't like it when it's stretched. I call that fattyvision.

I'd like an option to run it fullscreen on my tv so I can tell my girlfriend who all the other people are (she always asks during these vintage games).

Again, thanks to everyone who helped put this together.

[Libri]

DRob narrowly beating Shaq for the scoring title in the last game of the season is similar to how Gervin won the scoring title in the 1977-78 season. Gervin scored 63 points in the last game of the season and beat David Thompson. Gervin won the title by averaging 27.22 ppg. Thompson finished with an average of 27.15 ppg.

[completely deck]

Awesome video

[20Underrated]

I've NEVER heard the home team's fans cheer for a visitor like that before.

[Phenomanul]

BTW does anybody know how we can save the video from that link to our hard-drive?

I'm pretty sure you have to have a certain type(s) of media player to do that. My cousin told me about saving youtube videos before and that his media player gave him the option.

Bad












































ASS

[Danny.Zhu]

Hey guys, why can't I see the video? I can just saw a picture.

[tomtom]

Wow that was sick, wish I could've seen him play. Did he have 3pt range?? Also how was Rodman while he was here

[Phenomanul]

Or win a championship without Tim Duncan on his team.

Lame :td

[silverblackfan]

Awesome footage! That show made my day. David looked worn out, but still huge.

[EricB]

Or win a championship without Tim Duncan on his team.


WOW, I haven't seen that line of suckitude in about 11 years.

Congrats for that fucktard.

[whottt]

Wow that was sick, wish I could've seen him play.
Watch Amare play offense, and Dwight Howard play defense(only Drob wasn't quite as good of a rebounder)...and be sure to speed both of them up in your head while you are doing it.



Did he have 3pt range?

Compared to who?

Could be yes.


Also how was Rodman while he was here

He won 2 rebounding titles but he was a headcase that no one on the Spurs could handle....his second rebounding title was kind of bogus because he only played in like 45 games or something, that was the year the Spurs had the best record in the NBA.

The year Drob won the scoring title and Rodman won the rebounding title was the first time in NBA history that had happened with 2 different players on the same team(Wilt Chamberlain did both however and maybe somebody else way back there as well...


Either Rodman didn't care about playing D or else the Spurs coaches didn't ask him to play D, because he didn't play much D...he just rebounded the ball like a mofo...he didn't score much at all either. Part of the problem was that the Spurs played him alot at PF(because he actually could defend them to an extent) when he was really wasn't the size of a PF...basically they asked him to rebound and David to do everything else...which was pretty stupid and I'm not entirely sure Rodman deserves all the blame for that....because they pretty much asked David to do everything inside for pretty much all of his career...outside of the first couple of years with Terry Cmmings(who was asked to carry some of the rebounding and scoring load, not the defensive load).

Eventually extremely bad blood developed between David(and everyone else) and Dennis...so Dennis was traded...the season after he was traded, David lead the NBA in rebounds, I think to prove a point.

[NRHector]

Even the crowd was cheering for him, that was classy from the clippers fan

[ajh18]

So it's incorrect? Or...

Nothing "incorrect" about it, but your comment seemed to imply that you were diminishing David's ability and/or accomplishments in a thread meant as a tribute to him. And if that's what you were intending, well, yeah, then you're demonstrating an unbelievable level of "suckitude" by attempting to demean David.

Tim is great. He's the most skilled Spur of all time. But David in his prime was something incredibly special too, an absolutely unprecedented athlete, and he carried some terrible Spurs teams deep in the playoffs year after year. When he finally got another true star next to him in Tim, he won it all. And both of them were classy enough players and MEN to make the partnership work and avoid the drama of a situation like the Kobe/Shaq circus.

[NRHector]

So it's incorrect? Or...David Robinson played in an era where the elite teams had more than one superstar. He did not have any other superstar at that time playing with him, the spurs were not an elite team yet. You might be correct but is not fair to make that assumption.

[ManuTP9]

I enjoyed that.

[gospursgojas]

Rodman was a beast on the boards but that all he did. He did absolutly nothing else productive (getting tossed every other game or so isn't productive)

I remember there were times when he went to the free throw line and he would literaly just throw the ball at the basket. He made it no secret he didn't care if he made it or not. Probably bc he already knew he couldn't hit a shot that wasn't a dunk or a put back to save his life.

I was 12 or so when he played for the spurs and I never missed a game. I hated that dave had scrubs all around him and sean.

Neagle knight?
Sleepy floyd?
Llyod daniels?
Vernon maxwell pt 2?
Even crowd favs like 'toine carr and dale ellis were trash

[whottt]

What's funny about that dunk comment is I believe the season Drob lead the NBA in scoring was the first time in his career he didn't lead the league in dunks...might have been the year before though.

I don't think Antoine Carr was trash...I don't really even think Rodman was trash. The bigmen were not the problem, especially not when they had TC healthy....it was definitely the perimeter game that always hurt the Spurs. Especially against the teams that knew how to play defense in the post season like the Rockets and Jazz.

You weren't going to hurt those teams inside, they would put as many bodies inside as it took to shut it down...that's why the Jazz could dismantle any dominant inside team but get their clocks cleaned by teams like the Mavericks and Kings.

Same thing that usually decides whether or not the Spurs win a title now..when we've got the Stephen Jackson's and Mario Elie's and Steve Kerr's and Jaren Jackson's stepping up we don't lose...when we've got the Terry Porter's and Smitty's and Hedo's(when he played for us)...we don't.


The Spurs have had a bigman that could draw double teams for going 20 straight years now.......that means somebody is missing open shots when it matters....

[EricB]

I never said he wasn't. But there's a difference between being a great player, and an all-time great. It's debatable whether Robinson is an all-time great. And the poster I responded to was making it seem like he was the greatest player of all-time. It was more of a reality check than anything.

He's one of the top centers to ever play this game.

Look at some of the things he's done.

Just because a guy doesn't win a ring with trash like Robinson was saddled with doesn't make Robinson a non "great"

Get the fuck out of here with that shit.

Yeah Carr was a 20 point a game guy in Sacramento when they acquired him in I think the summer of 92.

the Cummings injury in the summer of 92 as well is still an injury that haunts Robinson, I mean Terry Cummings was a borderline ALLSTAR. I think it was 91 he scored 60 the night they announced the all stars and they left him off the team.

The back court as was said was always crap.

[baseline bum]

After looking at the src, here's a way to at least see it in the full size of the browser...

The back court as was said was always crap.

The best team was the 89-90 team, that team might be as talented as some of the Spurs championship teams, it's just they were too young...if they'd just been able to keep that team intact they would have won an NBA title. Hell I think if they hadn't traded Maurice Cheeks they might have won it that year...you trade a seasoned tough nosed vet for a second year player at pretty much the toughest postion in the league....that inexperience is likely to bite you in the ass, because Magic Johnson's(and even Tony Parker's) don't grow on trees

But after that year they got rid of Brikowski, Wingate, who was Bruce Bowen before Bruce Bowen was Bruce Bowen got accused of those rapes and missed most of the season...that was basically the toughness of the team right there.

Willie was never as good as he was as a rookie then his feet and shins got screwed up, then TC wrecked his knee etc.

I remember though, after the 89-90 season, everyone pretty much felt it was just a matter of time till they were the champions...I remember when they played the Pistons in the pre-season in 90 everyone said it was finals preview....

there is zero debate on whether dave is an all time great.

Zero.

Who debates this? Seriously.

There are debates on dave vs hakeem, dave vs shaq, dave vs dwight howard.

But dave is without question or debate an all time great center and player of the game

Like I said I was really young around that era of spursdom.

Young enough to truly believe that the spurs had a chance with the likes of vinny and jr reid suiting up with david.

Those teams broke a young boys heart so many times.

[MI21]

I've emailed the Spurs, well, tried to, numerous times about obtaining a copy of this game. I've been told it doesn't exist. Obviously not :tu

But hold up, it's being broadcast on ESPN classic in the states? The full game? I simply have to get my hands on a recorded copy or whatever of the full game. I must have it.

If anyone can help please PM me! :)

(please please please please please!)

[newacc]

David's success with non-Tim Duncan Spurs teams was amazing. Yeah, he never won a championship but who was going to win a championship on those teams? Those Spurs casts were so bad, it's amazing David took them as far as they went.

Nowadays, players demand trades out of teams that bad.

Look at the other legends and who they ran with:

Shaquille O'Neal had an elite superstar at the time with Penny (for those that don't remember Penny took the league by storm for a few years). Hakeem Olajuwon played with probably the best collection of talent, role players, and cohesiveness ever (young Robert Horry, young Sam Cassell, prime Kenny Smith, just after prime Clyde and Otis Thorpe). Michael Jordan had a Scottie Pippen who was able to carry the Bulls to the semi-finals and even push the Knicks when MJ went out. Malone had the same hall of fame point guard, hall of fame coach, and sharp shooting 2 guard for years and could never get the job done. Kemp and Gary Payton collborated in their primes and couldn't either.

David Robinson had what? Sean Elliott? Elliott was a nice sidekick but was never made of the material championship combos are. He definitely falls way short of any Penny/D-Wade/Pippen/Kobe partner in crime.

When David finally got a legit superstar, he got his titles.

To make light of David Robinson and question his legendary status is as ignorant as it gets. The guy could average 25-12-5-4-2 (points-rebounds-assists-blocks-steals) all while shooting 50%+ fgs and 75% from the line.

Who the hell else is going to give you those numbers on any modern day team?

[alamo50]

I think they just have us waiting for The Admirable DVD collection.

[bigbendbruisebrother]

This is one of those events where you can remember exactly where you were at the time it was happening. I was driving down Congress Av in Austin and when I got home, I sat in the driveway listening in awe.

Where the hell is Jay Howard these days anyway?

[Spurs Brazil]

I think they just have us waiting for The Admirable DVD collection.

That would be fantastic.

[Fpoonsie]

*fap fap fap*

Seriously, though, this was simply a joy to behold. As many others have mentioned already, I've been waiting to see this game for YEARS. Thanks, sdc. :tu

[ulosturedge]

Wow that was sick, wish I could've seen him play. Did he have 3pt range?? Also how was Rodman while he was here


lol no he averaged like three 3pointers a season. They every once in a blue moon ran a play where he would roll out to the top of the arc and take a three. Or he would just shoot a three when he was really feeling it. Ala the 3 point shot i'm sure you are referring to in this game. He couldn't miss that night. Even the clippers coach said they started throwing double and even the occasional triple team on him all night and it didn't matter lol.

As for Rodman he was pretty much a rollercoaster ride the two seasons he played with the Spurs. When he had his good games he was a good spark and motivator to the team, but when he had some bad games he became a distraction and a disease to the team. He started giving up on the team in the playoffs. We needed him and he pretty much dissappeared in the last couple of playoff games and then we got eliminated. I think it was a combination of him playing shitty and him at some point stop believing in the team. Either way it was apparently obvious that he wasn't right for the team anymore.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Wow, this is like the long lost Zapruder film of Spurs basketball... :wow

[smrattler]

Holy shit! I never thought I'd see such rare footage showing Lloyd Daniels starting at SG!

[MoSpur]

Thanks for the footage spursdotcom.

[ambchang]

Wait? There's a debate about Hakeem and David Robinson or Shaq and David? It's quite clear both players are better than Robinson.

Wait? There's a debate about Hakeem and David Robinson or Shaq and David and you don't know about it? It's quite clear you don't know what you are talking about.

[Col. Sam Daniels]

Watch every point of David's 71.

:toast


Your now my favorite post @ ST :tu

[Jose Ole]

Jay Howard... from downtown... BANG! Hearing the play by play at point 71 takes me way back!

[Admiral]

I am so freakin' excited to finally get to see this! Like others, I did not even know this footage existed. Phenomenal! Thanks so much for posting this, spursdotcom! :)

I just realized something. David had 24 points at halftime, which means that David scored 47 points in the second half. That is just incredible!

[sanman53]

Finally! I remember staying up watching CNN Headline Sports (because it seemed like ESPN never showed the Spurs highlights) and this was the leading story. We didn't have a computer or internet so I would stay up on school nights and record the stats of D-Rob and the Spurs on my Street and Smiths schedule. I still have my S&S where I wrote in large, bold letters, "Robinson scores 71 beats Shaq for scoring title!" I'm not sure if I was more happy he scored 71, or beat Shaq for the scoring title???

(PS: I enjoyed the Jack Haley sighting too!)

[Blackjack]

I finally got to see it.:elephant

The guy had around 50 before his first dunk.:wow

[senorglory]

1) David will always have this, and those that would forget (non-Spurs fans) the Admiral, will need to explain away this individual game and season accomplishment to over-look Robinson when talking about the best ever.

2) That the Spurs pulled together to make this happen, and screw Oneal out of the scoring championship, makes it priceless.

[senorglory]

Even the crowd was cheering for him, that was classy from the clippers fan

I don't see how you could have attended a Clippers game back then (or now), unless you were a fan of basketball/the NBA in general.

[spursdotcom]

nice bump :toast

[HarlemHeat37]

It's actually amazing that Robinson was one of the few that had a 70-point game and one of the few that had a quad-double..he did BOTH..unreal..

Clearly it took some effort to match up all the scouting video with the radio play-by-play. Thanks to the Spurs for doing this. What a treasure.

Radio: "Here comes the three at the buzzer. It’s no good. One half is in the books. It won’t make any highlight films. 37 though for the Spurs, 35 for the Clippers. Spurs lead the game. David Robinson with 24 points in the half. This is Spurs basketball."

Radio: "David, Slam Dunk! His first dunk of the game, Shaquille Oneal fans."

lol.

Awesome..... Man, I wish D-Rob and Timmy never aged and could just play together on the Spurs forever. That would be the life.

And then he scored 9 pts in game 1 vs Utah of the 94 playoffs
