I miss DRob

[Soul_Patch]

Was watching WOAI tonight, and they had a bit about DRob and his kids practicing for the allstar thing...

Could you imagine how many titles we would have had with DRob, Tim, Tony, Manu, and Bowen...


good lord...


I really miss him.

[ancestron]

I do too.

me and you both brother.

[Manudona]

I do too.


You should change your signature to the pass Manu gave Tim on the Celtics game. It basically did the same thing as the machine :)

Its because they practiced it like that. as you see here.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

when he retired, man. what can you say, the world was a better place when he was on the floor.

[T Park]

Yeah D Rob is missed. you could say had he never hurt his back he might still be playing, but its doubtfull.

Trust me, David Robinson is prob happier now than he was playing.

Do alot things he enjoys, spending alot of time with his kids and involved with their education. Wich its a shame hes not teaching, the guy is so freakishly einstein level intelligent.



David is gone, and honestly, as someone that idolized him growning up, I've moved on.

Enjoy the now! :)

Well, if DRob wasn't so old and took better care of himself, maybe he'd be able to sit on the Raptors' bench.

It's five years and I sure do miss him too.

Watching Shaq's skills decline and how he's gallantly and selfishly trying to hang around just to collect a check makes me appreciate D-Rob all the more.

Also, Duncan hasn't been able to find another high "lob-n-go" partner

The image of Dave after they won in 2003... I've never been happier about something that didn't directly involve me, in my life.

Dave will always be my favourite Spur of all time, no question.

Can you imagine how much harder it would be if we didn't have Duncan to enjoy?

Oh lord i know...i remember a few years after Robinson came to us, i remember thinking how destitute i would feel when he left...Duncan stepping in really helped that transition, but i was still sad.

I just cant help but wonder how many MORE rings this team would have had with a healthy duncan and dave running the court for the past 5 years.

How could they be stopped...would he be looking at a complete domination? 5 or 6 titles in a row?

David Robinson is an elite advance minded human being. He is the player i still admire the most. My role model someone i would consider the greatest father that a kid would have. He is not only the reason why i became a Spurs fan, but my inspiration to confront adversity with class. I also posted in a previous thread when we were losing more often and were more shaky that maybe a couple of workouts with him would inspire the squad. He will forever be my favorite Spur, worldwide citizen and example.

David Robinson is the reason I became a Spurs fan when I was 6 year old, despite never living in San Antonio.
:worthy: to the Admiral

[samikeyp]

But...he was soft!

:lol

Looked for that on the WOAI website with no luck, anybody have it downloaded?

[Budkin]

I do too.

Man the night the Spurs won the title in 2003 and Dave went out as a champion... watching him jump up and down as the clock ticked away was just an amazing joyful sight for me. I'll never forget that. :)

[ambchang]

The Admiral rocks

My screen name and avatar are all about five-oh.

David Robinson was the reason I became a Spurs fan. He is a God among men. The passion he had for the game and the enthusiasm the fans had for him we're unmatched by any other NBA team back then, at least it seemed that way to me, watching on television so many years ago.

Fantastic photo.

What a great guy D-Rob is? Personable, pleasant, and always in a good mood.

A giant among men.

[JP le Requin]

lets build a time machine!!

[vander]

He could probably help the team more than Elson right now :lol

Anybody?


TPark, how can you say you have moved on from idolizing David and telling us to move to the now?
The now would not have been if it wasn't for 5-0!

Well Im just sayin, I mean, theres some great guys on this team. Some really great guys to idolize like Bruce Bowen, Tim Duncan, Ime Udoka, guys like that.

You don't stop being a DRob fan becuase hes retired. You just keep loving the team.

Theres no question the Spurs would be the St Louis Arches right now if it wasn't for DRob, but thats a given and a known. Im just sayin, lets not pout and live in the past. be happy with what we have now wich is still agreat bunch of guys and a great team.

We won 2 rings without the Admiral.

[T Park]

Yes the Spurs have.

[debo]

nothing was more awesome then the spurs letting someone drive baseline only to be ambushed by Tim and Robinson

2nd that! I wasn't sure I'd get over D-Rob when he retired.

Timmy made the transition pretty easy :lol

[bigfish22]

Me and Dave go way back!
