Since next Saturday is David Robinson's birthday, NBA TV will be showing some of his old games that day. They'll run from 6am ET until 1:30pm.

The games they'll be showing are:

6:00 - 1993 First Round vs Blazers - Game 4 (Robinson 20 points, 17 rebounds, 11 assists, 7 blocks)
8:00 - 1996 First Round vs Suns - Game 2 (Robinson 40 points, 21 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 steals)
10:00 - 1999 NBA Finals vs Knicks - Game 5 (Robinson 15 points, 12 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block)
11:30 - 2003 NBA Finals vs Nets - Game 1 (Robinson 14 points, 6 rebounds, 4 blocks)
1:30 - 2003 NBA Finals vs Nets - Game 6 (Robinson 13 points, 17 rebounds, 2 blocks)

They'll show that first game again at 6pm, and it'll be followed by Champions Revealed at 8:00. Don't forget to set your DVRs if you won't be home to watch.

Not the 71-point game? Or his quadruple-double?

Still, thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, I don't know why they won't show either one of those. These are the same ones they showed last year.....it's time for some new stuff.

I think this 71 point game was never broadcast and only videos are from the arena. I know it sounds weird, but back in the 90's there were some games that were not ever televised and I remember listening only on the radio. I know today, in this day and age, that sounds ridiculous but I have just seen a few clips and never seen the whole thing.

Its like the Christine Chubbuck video of her blowing her brains out on live TV, there is a video out there somewhere of it.

Yeah, I remember that. They should at least have his quadruple-double game or some of those games against the Bulls where The Admiral made prime Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen look like scrubs. I remember one of those games being on TNT.

I also remember some of the games broadcast on KSAT 12 at times. Funny you mentioned the Bulls, but I do remember those games and they would show road games here and there. The NBA TV schedules and carriers were weird back then.

Yeah, the Spurs gave the Bulls fits in The Admiral's prime. Athletic centers were kryptonite for the Bulls. In fact, the Spurs had a winning record against the Bulls before The Admiral injured his back. After the Bulls got Dennis Rodman, they went 6-0 against us during their 2nd 3-peat run.

They should have showed the game where David Robinson dropped over 30 plus points on Orlando Shaq in the spring of '94. Watching that game on NBC as a kid made me become a spurs fan.

The funny thing about that one, is that game was on Shaq's birthday. I also wouldn't mind seeing the game where he served Shaq with a triple-double.

No one wanted to watch clippers games back then.

I also remember home games being PPV for like 14 bucks. Can you imagine having to pay to watch home games??

I was a broke ass college student back then and always used to go to Pizza Hut and grab those Spurs Schedules and count on one hand how many games I could watch.

Sucks also because usually it was road games on KSAT against the Blazers or SuperSonics and you had to stay up way late. East Coast road games against like the Knicks and Bulls all happened early, done by like 7 here.

i am in my mid 20s and i remember doing this...my family only subscribed to "basic cable" so we didn't really have any games. we would have to go to friends houses to watch playoffs games...suchs but in a way brought us together to watch games with friends

I was at that game....but I'm fat and missed his dunk bc I was in line for ice cream. I saw it on the small TV's the Alamodome had by the concession stands.

Don't judge me, HEB just came out with Creamy Creations and it was a big deal and everyone wanted some.

IIRC, they was originally scheduled to he broadcast on NBC, but got cancelled late. Too bad because this would've definitely helped his overall legacy had people been able to watch that game.

He was, but you could tell from Day 1 he didn't want to be there. He was a team wrecker at times and his shameless missing point blank shots so he could get that extra rebound and shot drove me nuts.
He would do that multiple times every game. Then throw his towel at Pop's face for good measure.

man i miss the spurs old court design....the one we have today just seems so bland. no personality. but hey why change the look of something that we have won many rings on...its like the lakers and celtics needing to never change there jersey bc they are not trying to "forget the past" with a "rebrand"...

Robinson was the man in the day i use to love the in bound play from behind the backboard where the in bounder would lob the ball over the backboard and Robinson would go up grab that ball and slam dunk. I dont think i have ever seen anybody else do that it was really amazing.

They were on this morning and that 1993 game reminded me why I could not stand Avery Johnson. He improved to serviceable towards the end of his tenure but he was shitty for a long time. Between that and him getting all over people while he was shitty made me loathe him.

Strange game with OT and Spurs team was strange that year. Lots of old great vets past their prime and the Lloyd Daniels/Jerry Tarkanian experiment.
