David Robinson: A History of Failure

[Magua]

We keep hearing from the Church of D-Rob that he had no help around him, yet the Spurs still managed to win 50+ games in multiple seasons. So let me get this straight, he was good enough to get one of the top seeds in the West year after year, but he wasn't good enough to beat lower seeded teams?

90-91 (55 wins): lost to GSW in 1st round despite HCA
93-94 (55 wins): lost to Utah in 1st round despite HCA
94-95 (62 wins): lost to Houston in the WCF despite HCA. Finished 0-3 at home in the series.
95-96 (59 wins): lost to Utah in WCSF despite HCA.
96-97: embellished an injury to land #1 pick
99-00 (53 wins): lost to Phoenix despite HCA. To be fair, the true team leader was injured.

David Robinson squandered 285 games of hard work because he couldn't protect his home court. We can only hope he's paid the Spurs back at least some of the money he stole from them over the years.

Shameful.

He was a pussy


Very talented but a pussy

My biggest problem with D-Rob was his relationship with Dennis Rodman... I think they could have won with him, but D-Rob wouldn't have any of his 'shenanigans'. I think if he had just been a professional about it, they could have made the Finals...

This is true. That's a pretty formidable frontcourt but D-Rob's ego just wouldn't make it work.

Shameful.

I haven't done any research to support this. But it seemed like he always missed crucial free throws.

I see the David Stern mandated LOB, but where are their Bronze medals? They both should be honored to have lead their team to an Olympic medal. Many true HOFers never did that.

Do you any pics of those medals they earned through blood sweat and tears, or do i have to google it? :downspin:

[Leetonidas]

That said I can't really disagree David did fail in the playoffs :depressed

[Fpoonsie]

:lol

[midnightpulp]

Not only that, but lets really get down knee deep in this shit. David Robinson was the sole reason the Dream Team was ever created. That motherfuccer went overseas and totally embarrassed our country by brining home some bronze shit. He was so bad, Congress made the decision to send our pros to the Olympics just to show that we can compete against 3rd world countries. We didnt even need the pros, we just needed a leader for that team, which David couldnt do. I guess God didnt bless America then, huh David.

You wanna know something else? Like dumb asses, we entrusted another Spur to lead our boys against 3rd world countries. Guess what came out of that? Yup, another embarrassing ass bronze medal, and the Redeem Team was born. Yup, the bronze medal brothers sure did fuck our country over good. Whats ironic about the entire situation is, it took Laker superstars to lead the Dream Team and the Redeem Team and bring home the gold. Yet, they have the nerves to call those two assholes leaders.

Lol. The AIDS ridden body of Magic Johnson didn't lead shit in '92. He made the team on his name and because he was something of a diplomat for American basketball. Barkley was far and away the best player on that team. As for Kobe "I didn't do shit the entire Olympics outside of a 4 point play" Bryant, what exactly did he lead the team in besides shot attempts?

Oh, you must be referring to the example Kobe set for his teammates with that vaunted "Doberman Defense." From a Lakers fanboy:

"USA Rolls Over Angola and How I'm Not a Fan of Olympic Kobe"

I'm not a big fan of Olympic Kobe. In fact, I'm very close to saying that Olympic Kobe might be... this is tough to say especially as a nine-year Lakers season ticket holder... Olympic Kobe might be overrated.

We heard last summer how much of an influence Kobe had on Team USA. Players raved about his tenacity and training regimen in practice. We especially heard (and continue to hear constantly) about his defensive intensity and that he dove for a lose ball in the first minute of the Tournament of the Americas last summer in Vegas. Kobe was supposed to bring a type of swagger and confidence that Team USA has lacked over the past six years. He was to dominate Team USA on their way to the gold.

So far he's shooting an atrocious 1-15 from beyond the arc against Angola and China. And instead of driving the lane and establishing some sort of offensive rhythm with a few easy hoops, Kobe simply passed off many uncontested layups and dunks.

Plus his defense has been worse. Instead of breaking out a "not while I'm on the floor" lock-down defense that was hyped last summer, Kobe's been sagging heavily off his man and cheating in the passing lanes (a lazy defense in my opinion). This may work in the NBA but not against teams like Spain, Germany and Argentina where players 1-12 can hit outside J's with consistency. And the few times Kobe did choose to man-up the ball-handler, he was too close and got beat off the dribble. Basically he underestimated his opponent's skill with the ball.

Fernandez worked his ass in the Gold Medal game.

:cry B-B-But he hit a 4 point play :cry

Was he on the team? If so, he was a 1st round casualty. That's it and that's allPERIOD. :downspin:

[dbreiden83080]

As beloved as D-Rob is here i don't think it's unfair to say he was one of the most talented players ever who didn't have all the passion for the game to go with that talent. Not saying he didn't have passion but he didn't bleed the game.. Robinson was more talented than Duncan but Duncan wanted it more than he did..

Just like what Pau did to Kobe.

Kobe couldn't get into the playoffs without Phil Jackson.

Kobe couldn't get out of the first round without Daddy. Once Pau came, all of that changed.

Pau is the real leader.
