NBA: Robinson donates money to relief fund
Sept. 13, 2005
By Justin Breen / Post-Tribune staff writer
“Big Dog” has written a big check.
Robinson’s agent, Charles Tucker, said the Roosevelt and Purdue graduate donated at least $25,000 for victims of Hurricane Katrina on Friday.
Tucker said Robinson also donated at least $15,000 worth of clothes to the Red Cross. Some of that clothing belonged to Robinson’s mother, Christine Bridgeman, who passed away last spring.
“He bought some clothes and gave away some of his mother’s clothes,” Tucker said.
Robinson, who is a free agent after winning his first NBA championship with the San Antonio Spurs, has yet to find a new team.
Tucker said the Spurs, as well as the Miami Heat, have called him.
“We’re trying to see what those teams are going to do,” Tucker said. “Hopefully, he’ll sign in the next couple of weeks.”
==================================
I don't like the fact that he's also talking to the Heat. We'll probably sign another swingman and I'd prefer that he be young but I'd sign Robinson just to keep him away from a contender like Miami. That guy has killed us his whole career.
He won a ring with us and has claimed he wants to return. I say sign him up and keep him in cold storage. If he complains we can always cut him loose later.
