Why is David Robinson so overlooked when discussing GOAT big men?

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Seriously? People even have Dirk over him. With all due respect to Dirk... the day Dirk puts up 71 in a game or a quad double he can be in that discussion.

I think Robinson could be a top 5-6 center of all time. The dude was the most athletic center to ever join the league.. no doubt about it.

With all due respect to Robinson the day he can beat Karl Malone in a playoff series he can be in that discussion.

You mean when Karl wins a title he can be in that discussion?

[Katherine Robinson]

Because he's not even the top 3 in his position, how could he be in discussion for the greatest of both positions? He's a level below the greatest big men

He's the cat's meow.

No, you fucking retard.

[Arcadian]

Is he though? I see most people agreeing that Robinson is a top 6 center. The only reason he doesn't make top 5 is because Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, Hakeem, and Russell exist(ed).

Born loser and one of the fakest "good guys" to ever walk the Earth. His fanbois are even bigger faggots.

[IrisHockey]

You know he's a born loser when he lost to the biggest loser in the history of big men year after year.

Because he had Avery Johnson and Vinny Del Negro as his backcourt during his prime.

I think hes an all time great tbh, its just Spurs fans who down grade him to make Duncan look better. I remember that 99 twin tower team, they were a powerful force

GOAT discussion is rare air. Dave was great, but not GOAT. He simply got outworked by too many other bigs to be a GOAT, and if he's not a GOAT, he's not in the discussion.

[Malik Hairston]

He's arguably one of the 5-7 best regular season players of all-time, tbh..

[lefty]

David is a softie TBH

But to be fair to David, he had never played with another real star until we tanked :lol for Duncan

Was he shit during the playoffs?

The knock on Robinson is that his level of play dropped substantially in the playoffs, which is how he got the "soft" label..

He's similar to KG, tbh, his style of play was easier to game-plan against in the playoffs..to be fair, his supporting casts were usually pretty shitty, like Garnett..

Yep, because Sean Elliott = john Stockton

[Hemotivo]

Robinson was great

W. Anderson, Avery J., Del Negro, JR Reid, C. Smith, ... they suck

[HemisfairArena]

When Hakeem left his battered carcass clutching a regular season MVP trophy on the court in the '95 playoffs,,,,that's when Robinsons stock plummeted,,,,never to be the same again.
