His stats were mighty, but, his game was a bit forced & awkward. + Duncan ended up holding his hand, carrying his water & holding his end of the log.
Yea, spurs forum is where it should go right? no. Just like a Jordan thread, or Stockton thread, this awesome guy should be repped for fans of basketball in general.
http://www.nba.com/spurs/features/ro...of_videos.html
Site was posted by spursdotcom and so much video footage of robby that I hadn't seen in a long time and really clear instead of crappy youtube footage. His highlight video or 71 point video, awesome. I miss the guy for bball, he was truly ahead of his time nba wise, just watch him run and dunk-anyone who thinks d howard would have a chance in at this guy is just a hater or most likely too YOUNG to know. Dwight, KG, everyone since robinson who kind of plays like him have been poor man robinsons
The way dwights built is similar. A beast around the rim on D, but the thing dwight will never accomplish is robinsons shooting, his court sense, his driving ability-in actuality I know dwight is young but he will never be on robby skill level. No way a dude learns how to drive with handles from by 3 point line, no way he has the sweet shot he had, no way he ran the court as smart as well as he could, and no way he can by anything close to the admiral. I like dwight, but he is eerily built like robby and this many years after that he still will never be as good-any fan of the NBA who watches knows dwight won't do certain things robby did.
Some lake fans may diss cuz they were too young, some randoms will try to talk trash but just appreciate the guy. BTW, jordans speech was a serious diff between the two, one had so much more in life than the other to look forward to.
BTW what player nowadays or anytime would choose to serve out a commitment he payed for 2 years instead of getting paid. DRob, was a one of a kind, add two years of prime under his belt-still never had the teams necessary till later when he was older.

Just when I thought your posts were at the apex of stupidity...
Well, wtf, you & your cronies do like that all the time. Thought I'd try that hair shirt on ya.
Ya look pisser!
Why was his game "forced & awkward"?
like what? Make up about players?
Your mentality is, "Well they did it. I might as well sink to their level." Good to know.
He was not comfortable in the low post. He (his body) could not get where he (his mind) ordered it to go. It was frustrating to watch and I imagine quite frustrating for him to endure.
Perhaps not as much in the low post a course, but, LeBron has some of the same weaknesses to his game.
I didn't make up a thing. I just conducted a case study in Empathy 101.
Obviously you don't know what you're talking about.
Perhaps, Shast. Let me check an asshole...did he ring afore Duncan landed there?
Did Duncan get a ring before he teamed up with David?
It's been said before, his crime isn't not winning a ring without Duncan, his crime is actually taking that team into the playoffs.
& that's just adorable, Muse, but, when Kobe couldn't win a ring without Daddy you all hoisted his ass upon the pe and beat him merciless for years over it. That was not right.
Duncan did hold his hand. And don't forget if not for a Dirk injury he doesn't win his 2nd ring in 2003.
& I got no problem with that process. Magic held many hands thru his tenure. If he hadn't, 15 would be 12, maybe less. I just want their hand-holding to be above board and on the books like mine is.
Since we do have a Spurs forum you don't really need to post it in the NBA forum, other fans from different teams then the Spurs will post in there I bet.
Can you really prove that? So if you say that, if it wasnt for the Manu injury we would have beaten mavs in the 1st round? I swear Mavs fans are the stupidest out there, even more stupid than Lakers fans.
D-Rob was the Dirk of the Spurs franchise. Tremendous player, incredibly talented, but he lacked something that made him a true winner. Thankfully for David, he got to play with Tim Duncan and win a couple of les. Hopefully the same thing will happen for Dirk.
Everyone who re-hashes this "fact" about David vs Hakeem fails to remember one important fact...
David was the MVP and was double and triple teamed by Houston throughout the series. David played Hakeem one on one because the Spurs coaches didn't want to double and leave a 3pt shooter.
Simple fact of the matter is that neither of the two could be guarded one on one that year. And Bob Hill was a fool for thinking he could get away with it on Hakeem.
I will admit that Hakeem was better that year than David "mano a mano," and should have been the MVP, but David should have won the MVP the year before when Hakeem won it.
Please... it's not like the Mavs were up 3-0 when Dirk went down.
Spurs had a 14pt lead with 7 minutes to go in the 4th when Dirk got hurt in Game 3. Game was pretty much decided at that point and the Spurs were on their way to a 2-1 series lead.
With or without Dirk, Spurs were not losing that series. Any team relying on Steve Nash "trying to" defend Tony Parker is DOOMED to fail vs the Spurs. History says so...
Smartest thing the Mavs ever did was letting Nash go. It INSTANTLY improved their defense and made them a better overall team. Addition by subtraction...
Except say... Shaq in the finals getting his ass swept and guarded 1v1 by Hakeem?
Go yourself you shallow knowledged poser.
At what point did I not give Hakeem credit? Did I not say Hakeem was better than David that year and deserved the MVP? Damn, you Laker fans are ignorant and illiterate.
And you know damn well, that if you are doubled and triple teamed you don't have a chance of even coming close to matching a in his prime Hakeem's output who's playiing vs single coverage. Hakeem took 28 shots a game vs the spurs while David took 16 shots per game (thanks to double teams). Hakeem BETTER OUTSCORE David with 12 more attempts per game.
Look at what Hakeem did to Shaq in the Finals too. Shaq only took 74 shots the whole series (because of double and triple teams) while Hakeem took 116 shots (because of mostly single coverage vs Shaq) and Hakeem averaged 32.8 vs Shaq.
Oh well that explains it, you didn't really watch the series, just the ESPN highlights. No wonder you are making yourself look like an ignorant jackass...
robinson is a class act. served his country then got destroyed by hakeem then we never heard of him being one of the best centers of all time.
