Guys like this don't come often... The nba needs guys like this

Yeah, the NBA definitely needs more scripture and playoff-choking legacies.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Yeah, the NBA definitely needs more scripture and playoff-choking legacies.

More Garnetts would be better, no?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Yeah, the NBA definitely needs more scripture and playoff-choking legacies.

50 went 23/11/3/2 in the Houston series that he is widely criticized for. Olajuwon just went 35/13/5/4.

He was outplayed certainly but its not like he just choked and rolled over. Bass and co never gave DRob the supporting casts that the current regime provides. Houston rolled out Olajuwon/Drexler/Horry/Cassell. Spurs rolled out Robinson/Elliott/Rodman/Del Negro.

[DeadlyDynasty]

How many times did a D-Rob led team lose with HCA?

[Sean Cagney]

Yeah, the NBA definitely needs more scripture and playoff-choking legacies.
First ballot HOF player, MVP, 2 time champ and 2 time olympic Champ = Legend... I would say most would take that.
How many times did a D-Rob led team lose with HCA?

Team game, he could not do it with the help he had around him. I guess Charles Smith a few times and Avery Johnson or Del Negro etc. were just so much help! I know he head Elliott but outside of that not much at all.

What did Kirby do with no help? Missed the playoffs or first round exit with a later seed, atleast D Rob and little help got them not only in the playoffs but a high seed.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Yeah, team was good enough ti consistently win 50-55 games, but he couldn't break through a grab bag WC ever. Great player, though. He's the NBA's Tony Romo. Hopefully TR can piggyback for a couple rings in his twilight too

[boutons_deux]

the nba needs families that produce guys like this.

Except for the part about making the playoffs and winning games. Much like teams now winning 50 games in the East it was not nearly as difficult to get above 50 wins in that western conference.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Dude...come on now.

[JR3]

Wow... Drob thread and all the haters come out.... Still mad?

[DeadlyDynasty]

Wow... Drob thread and all the haters come out.... Still mad?
Crofl, what would people be mad about?...other than him devaluing his fans' merch with bible verses, of course

[HI-FI]

Yeah, the NBA definitely needs more scripture and playoff-choking legacies.

I'd love to have another D Rob. Real talk, I would rather root for a DROb than a Rapist who coattails. Before you say bullshit, I started liking the Spurs around DRob's time, even though I was a Lakers kid growing up and Lakers were starting to win championships again.

The comparison made below about Tony Romo is interesting, I think both don't have that missing thing that makes them truly elite, but they're very close and having good players around you always helps.

[hater]

nigga retired too early.

he could have easily played and dominated for 3 or 4 more years. Spurs shurely would have repeat. but oh well. gotta respect the decisions.

[gilmor]

So fucking cool... I can't believe I am hearing to the one player I love most..

This guy got so much humility.

Thanks man!

exactly. nobody was stopping hakeem that year, but hakeem did not in any way shut down robinson. that shit is a myth. just like he didn't shut down shaq in the finals. he just played better

are u serious? he was on fumes his last season. defensively he was great help, but this was in no way the same mr robinson..

[ElNono]

are u serious? he was on fumes his last season. defensively he was great help, but this was in no way the same mr robinson..

His back was also flaring up every other game... he pretty much warrior'ed out those '03 playoffs...

[2centsworth]

Carver academy and his college scholarship program are pretty cool too.

[TXstbobcat]

David Robinson is the main reason that I stated watching the spurs when I was growing up. He is a class act and we were lucky to have him as a spur for life.

[ducks]

the nba needs families that produce guys like this.

tough to do with both parents working because of the high cost of insurance these days

[ducks]

had spurs had a team david robinson would have lots of titles
vinny delgo was on the team for heaven sake
big dog or carr
sean was great for a couple of years but still no teir one star
then their was the point guard postion aj who could not make an outside shot if his life depended on it
then lets talk about the crazy coaches he had

[tmtcsc]

David Robinson was a taller Dwight Howard with more athleticism, skills and humility.

[ducks]

david robonson and howard do not belong in the same sentence every

[JR3]

[GoodOdor]

Could never look at him the same after Hakeem sodomized him on national TV tbh.....still, a nice guy.

[T Park]

this thread is more examples of why this forum is a laughing stock now.

Freaking pathetic.

[lefty]

Great player, nice guy, and the reason I became a Spurs fan


But he was a pussy, admit the truth Spur fans



I like pussies

[TheGoldStandard]

Robinson was a terrific player, he was what Kevin Garnett was to the Timberwolves and in the end his loyalty gave him 2 titles and countless runs. Truth is no matter how many good or solid Spurs teams there were nobody was going to Usurp Chicago during their runs and Houston was stacked.

[Sean Cagney]

Could never look at him the same after Hakeem sodomized him on national TV tbh.....still, a nice guy.

Regardless still a great player, not just a nice guy but a first ballot HOF player and better than ANY C out there today! Give us another D ROB! I would take it.

[Budkin]

The Admiral is the reason I'm a Spurs fan. Loved his attitude and his game. 2003 is still my favorite title.

[tenbeersbold]

Drob founded a capital investment group w/ a former Goldman Sachs investment banker

IDGAF what tiny percentage they give to "charity"

Vulture biz like this is exactly what is WRONG w/ the US economy

And anyone involved in it is the ENEMY...

WTH do you think everything costs so damn much ?!?

So these do nothing companies can continue to create ever larger windfalls and returns for their elite investors

You've got an entire nation counting on ever rising home values as a source of retirement income

WTF kinda fiscal sanity is that?!?


Rant off ;)

To be fair he did much better than Kobe when he was the lone star. Stick a Shaq/Pau and Duncan next to them they ended up with amazingly good careers.

[scanry]

Unlike Tim, David never had winners like Kerr, Horry, Manu, Barry, Tony & Bowen.

David on the other hand had born losers on his team tbh.

This is what people fail to realize. Spurs had Elliott and Rodman as their best player next to Robinson in his prime. And the drop was considerable after that.

Robinson had his best success when he had Cummings for those two years before Cummings injured himself severely in a pickup game. Robinson rookie year, Spurs lost two 3OT games to Portland at Portland (the eventually WC champs), honestly the Spurs should have beat them. Pair Robinson with Duncan in the prime of his career, and he would have had multiple championships, like 4 or 5.

And for the Hakeem series, people fail to mention that the Dream totally did the same thing to Shaq the next series. Even Shaq said that Hakeem took his ass to school. He just played out of his mind during that playoff run.

Because some choose not to worship the ground D-Rob walks on?

You whiny, obese jeeb

Can I see your papers?

[JR3]

Come get them yourself cool guy. Let me know when in Salt Lake.

[CaptainLate]

More Garnetts would be better, no?

Sure...under the condition he was politically incorrect, since people like DRob and Pop are not.

[TacoCabanaFajitas]

No, because every thread devolves into trolling and petty insults. For every 1 sentence of basketball discussion, you get 4 that are almost exclusively shit talking. You don't like D-Rob? Awesome. But the attempt at humor and subsequent off-color jokes to tear him down are unnecessary. If you were actually funny it would be different, but the sarcasm/backhanded compliments come off as douchey and not humorous

You can't be serious.

Pussies don't play with nerve damage and a back so bad they can barely walk or stand up straight after a game. Pussies retire early.

Pussies don't put up with cheapskate bullshit owners that don't get them any help while carrying a team of NBDL level talent into the playoffs year after year. Pussies hold out, demand a trade, and / or badmouth their teammates in the press.

Pussies don't battle Shaq one on one for years. Pussies call in sick or play hack a shaq.

Pussies don't take a beating like Hakeem gave David in the '95 playoffs and acknowledge they were outplayed. Pussies make excuses.


Robinson had his (limited) shortcomings as a player, but as a man, teammate, ambassador for the game, and face of San Antonio on the global stage, there was nobody better.

Couldn't have said it better....are we really bashing David Robinson now?

Wow...

[kjhip1]

Drob is the epitome of what you would call a professional. He's donated so much to the city of San Antonio. Heck I remember when he put that new court outside the boys and girls club. Regardless if you thought he didn't show up in certain situations over the years, he still treated the game and those who played in it with respect. While u have some detailing their careers and asking how in the world they're sons can follow what they did, you have drob thanking everyone who helped him along the way. The man had class and served his country. What a role model to look up to in this day and age. Haters gonna hate I guess. Awesome interview! Thanks for the vid!

trust me, he would have done duncan the same way in his prime. olajuwon killed everybody 2 years straight in the playoffs. noone could hold that man one on one.
