David Robinson On The Spurs: "They're Great", "We Got The Pieces"

Robinson offers a little double talk
By Marc J. Spears

Spurs great David Robinson was not able to repeat as an NBA champion, getting two attempts in his illustrious career. While he believes the Celtics have the talent to repeat, he warns that it won't be easy.

"Things got to go right," said Robinson. "Physically, you got be healthy. Good things have to happen. They have the nucleus back. They look good. They look like they can make it happen. But there has to be a lot of little things rolling into place, too.

"I remember one year Timmy [Duncan] got hurt and he wasn't even available for the playoffs. And that's stuff you can't forget. It happens. You have to keep your fingers crossed and keep playing hard. But they're in a great position to do it, though."

On the Spurs, Robinson said, "They're great. Manu [Ginobili] is going to be out a little bit [with an ankle injury]. But Timmy looks great. He got some real rest this summer. Tony Parker's at the top of his game.

"They have a lot of question marks on some young guys. They're going to need some guys to make some shots. But we got the pieces."

Robinson was in Boston on business last week and to support his ex-Spurs teammate, Doc Rivers, as the Celtics opened the season with a win over Cleveland.

"I'm just being a dad a lot and cheering those guys in San Antonio," Robinson said of his life now. "I'm just trying to keep life on the simple side. I just started a business. I'm working on that a little bit and trying to get that kicked off."

And his only real opportunity to repeat was stiffled by Duncan's knee injury in 2000... more than just a 'minor' setback...

Exactly so he really had no chances to repeat in reality..

Admiral Capital Group. I know it got rolling a couple months ago but the economic crisis didn't exactly help matter. Hopefully Robinson is able to do well enough to one day buy the Spurs.

After reading this several times I believe this is code talk that he is planning a comeback to the Spurs.

Starting out with capital in a downturn is a good place to be; smart bargains are everywhere. But when I see "capital group" I can't help but think of Carlysle and other groups like that dealing with arms dealing and stuff. That'd be a hoot.
