Nazr is playing his way towards spending the rest of his career getting paid well and playing ball next to Tim Duncan.

Glenn "Defense Is My Middle Name" Robinson:
6 minutes, 3 boards, 3 blocks.The Big Dog is back, and his bite is as vicious as ever.

Absolutely. The Spurs are more than a one-superstar,..er two-superstars, ...Ok, three superstars, team. You never know who is going to surprise you with a good game because we have good players at every position and great depth as well.

I think he'll keep playing like that.

AND I think he'll be here next year.

As are the Spurs, who signed him April 4 and have been thrilled with the way Robinson has adjusted to being a role player. :rolleyes

Robinson missed the first three games of the Western Conference finals to attend his mother's funeral. He received a round of applause from his teammates when he rejoined the Spurs during a film session before Game 4 against Phoenix.

In Spurs' 2003 Championship run, the most special player to get his first ring was probably Kevin Willis, after all his 19 years' quest. This year that player should be Glen Robinson, because of his up and downs this year (including coping with his mother's death.)

It's fun to watch him. He still gets beat on D too frequently, but he seems to find a way to recover and get his hands on the ball somehow. I couldn't believe one of the blocks he had in game one...it's crazy that he's actually playing defense. I love it.

He's been great. That having been said, I still can't imagine him bolting San Antonio for more playing time. If the Spurs win, he'll have his ring. And he can still probably get more money and playing time elsewhere. We'll see, but I can't imagine him coming back.

ok if spurs will only keep devin brown or big dog
WHO DO YOU GO WITH
And yes I know they have bird rights with devin brown but spurs do have a budget

San Antonio is going to become the mecca for veterans and superstars who never got a ring but are willing to buy into the Spur's team concept and contribute.

You can start a list with Ferry, Willis, and now Robinson and Barry. I exempt Elie and Kerr because they already had rings--but they still wanted to play on a winner.
