The Admiral what can you say: an athelete, community leader, and an all around class act.
My greatest moments in Spurs history were seeing The Admiral get his 2 RINGS.
NEVERFORGOTTEN!
I remember the block, not the break-away. Congrats to David Robinson for being a member of the greatest Hall-of-Fame class ever. Robinson went out a great guy and a Champion.

HERE'S to you MR. ROBINSON!!!!!!!
"CAN YOU SAY HOF!!!!!!!!"
"CAN YOU TELL Mr. stockton .....I GOT 2!"
Just a classy, classy man. Feel blessed to have watched him play. He is a great example of a peaceful, respectful and caring man.
Remember when Big Dave scored 71 and the next day Shaq was crying how he could have scored 70 if his teammates passed him the ball as much! I loved that.
Congrats David XDXD
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting for him to be there!!!! Congrats to David!!![]()
Good thing David never decided to coach the Dallas Mavericks not only would you be pissed he was going to the hall of fame, you guys would want his jersey taken off the rafters. You don't think David reads all the negative Avery Johnson crap you guys post?
Cool video

Where'd you go Mr. Robinson....on your way to the Hall of Fame...hey hey hey
So here's to you Mr. Robinson....you're a hero to us all here in S.A. ....hey hey hey...hey hey hey
This is like saying if Hitler hadn't murdered all those people he wouldn' be infamous...
But he did. And Drob didn't ever coach the Mavs. Drob never sold out. And he lives and dies with the Spurs as a fan now. Drob is Spur to the core.
I remember in Drob's final season when the Mavs were paying tribute to him and making donation to the Carver academy, they gave Drob a mic to speak and he was classy as he always, but you could tell he was like, I don't know what to say to these effin' Mav Fans or the Mavs...I whipped Mav ass for my entire career, thanks for this donation, and I'm gonna repay it by whippin' some more Mav ass the rest of the year.
Was even better when he didn't even make the Laker tribute to him
Drob...not a sell out, or panderer. And not a Mav coach either...and he never will be. He'll never be anything but a Spur, and right now he's the only Spur in team history that can be said of....
"If" means nothing.
Great memories of seeing DRob his rookie year when they could have won it all if they had a better coach, or maybe just a couple of different breaks. David Robinson is a great example of a Christian and a human being. He was also a great basketball player.
whats your favorite Admiral Memory...
congrats to the player who give me love for basketball and the san antonio spurs...
I've been thinking about this. After I sorted through a bunch of incredible basketball games I kept coming back to one image. Robinson leaving the court a Champion. He did so much on the court, from just bringing his intense skills every game to his quad-double. But after all the game action, watching him go out like he did has to be my favorite memory.
I think my favorite was watching him play in that Phoenix series in 2000 without Tim Duncan. He took so much heat and criticism for not showing up.
He was such a graceful player, on and off the court. My favorite off-the-court story isn't about feeding one homeless man or a Reebok commerical. I think Robinson starting that school will always stick with me.
Word. Something that I'm surprised isn't being mentioned more often in the all the blurbs being written about Robinson right now is the fact that the NBA renamed their charitable service award for him during his final season.
David going out on top![]()
Greatest David Robinson memory was him getting the MVP award in 1995.
I remember as a young kid all the Spurs fan craze going on around San Antonio when the Spurs were a good team and Robinson was the best player in the NBA. I remember all the "ROBINSON MVP" signs everywhere all over the city. I remember the "House is a rockin" song that used to always play on TV when we were ready to make a deep playoff run....Good memories![]()
Thank you Admiral![]()
Greatest D-Rob memory has to be him retiring a champion, nobody deserved it more than him.
Also a close second is his block on MJ when he went for a dunk.
I hope Red McCombs will be giving The Admiral the speech.
My greatest 5-0 memory was signing an autograph for me at the 1989 Lottery party at the Arena. He was smiling and joking with everyone and was very gracious.
A man, a gentleman, a leader, and a role model!![]()
