Fan from orlando

[kellog]

So glad I found this! I have been a fan of the Spurs since David Robinson started in 89. I went to high school with him in Manassas Va. I thought after he retired I would not be such a fanataic...but I am now a fan for life!

Thanks for whom ever posted this on AOL!!! If I could I would sell my house and move to San Antonio! Go Spurs!!!!

Hell, if you own a house in Va., you could probably sell it, move here, buy another one, and have enough left over to retire on...

Welcome kellog!
Always good to see more Admiral fans up in here.

Did you take any classes with David?

It must have been weird for you guys at Osbourn High to see another 6"7 kid come in for his senior year huh?

Thanks for the welcomes.

I didn't have any classes with David I was a year behind him. We also had another 6'7" guy on the team and the coach would only put David in for half
the game and the other guy for the other. My dad would get so mad. He tryed talking to the coach and the coach said he wanted to be fair to the other guy who had been there for 4 years. The coach did not like my dad very much he was quite vocal in the stands. The bad thing was the coach was also my guidance counselor so I knew him and he flat out told me he thought my dad was crazy.

My dad ran into David out shopping and even asked David to ask Coach Payne
to play him more and David thanked him for his support but told him it is the coach team and he knows what is best.

Great story kellog!

David wouldn't have asked his coach to play him more that period of time because he didn't realy like playing basketball during that timeframe anyway.
