Who puts in "Hakeem" when they are searching about "David Robinson"?
You should start a thread about this 'google' phenomenon you recently discovered.
Apparently a lot of people since Google auto fills that result in for you.

Do you understand how Google works?
Google does not auto fill Hakeem, nor even show any mention of Hakeem, when you put in 'David Robinson.'
Epic fail.
I do.Do you understand how Google works?
You don't.
Not to mention that it's not just the fact that they are associated in people's minds (hence the popular search) but that the very video I posted comes up as the very first thing Google deems relevant to their association (again based on popularity).
Revealing.
Revealing that google knows how to search specific terms, as it is a search engine.
Obviously you don't if you have to ask
ya moron
Can't start threads. . .
Can't say anything orginal. . .
great, you've managed to find the most known association between Hakeem and Robinson, congrats. That does not prove that it is the most memorable aspect of David Robinson. That's like saying google searching Kobe crying proves that the majority of google users think Kobe is a crybaby.
Well we have to take it out of the hands of the fanboys. Here on Spurstalk where all you zealots make demigods out of Spurs players.
As a pure basketball fan I offer an unbiased opinion.
Chris Webber still most known for his timeout in Michigan? To a lot of people sure. Because he never won anything in the NBA.
Had Artest never won a 'ship last year the Palace Melee would likely be the only people would remember him for too. Some still will.
And I remember David "the pussy" Robinson ting his pants despite being named the league's MVP and on the "best" team when matched against the REAL MVP Hakeem Olajuwon.
Guilty... just own it dog.
Opinions are like..., ah, nevermind I'm gonna google opinions.
LMMFAO at "unbiased opinion" from a professed Flaker.
I guarantee you that more people know about Kobe's rape case than about Robinson vs Hakeem.
I googled "Kobe Rape Case" and this is the first link that came up:
Kobe Bryant sexual assault case
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kobe Bryant sexual assault case began in the summer of 2003 when the news media reported that the sheriff's office in Eagle, Colorado had arrested NBA superstar Kobe Bryant in connection with an investigation of a sexual assault complaint filed by 19-year-old hotel employee Katelyn Faber. Bryant had checked into The Lodge and Spa at Cordillera hotel in Cordillera, Colorado on June 30 in advance of having surgery near there on July 2 under Dr. Richard Steadman. Faber accused Bryant of raping her in his hotel room on July 1, the night before the surgery. Bryant admitted to an adulterous sexual encounter with his accuser, but denied the assault allegation. The case was dropped after Faber refused to testify in the case. A separate civil suit was later filed against Bryant by Faber. This was settled out of court, and included Bryant publicly apologizing to Faber, though admitting no guilt on his part.

Arrest
Eagle County Sheriff investigators first confronted Bryant with the sexual assault accusation on July 2. During the July 2003 interview with investigators, Bryant stated that the sex was consensual.
Law enforcement officials collected evidence from Bryant and he agreed to submit to a rape test kit and a voluntary lie detector test.[1] On July 4, Sheriff Joe Hoy issued an arrest warrant for Bryant. Bryant flew from Los Angeles back to Eagle Colorado to surrender to police. He was immediately released on $25,000 bond, and news of the arrest became public two days after that. On July 18, the Eagle County District Attorney's office filed a formal charge against Bryant for sexual assault. If convicted, Bryant faced probation to life in prison.
After he was formally charged on July 18, Bryant held a news conference in which he adamantly denied having raped Faber. With his wife on his side, he confessed, in tears, to having an adulterous sexual encounter with her, but insisted that everything that happened between the two had been consensual. Faber told a friend that "She couldn't believe that his wife was sitting there and apparently didn't care about adultery."[2]
Hearings
As the hearings began, the prosecution accused Bryant's defense team of attacking Kate Faber's credibility.[3] It was revealed that she wore underpants containing another man's semen and pubic hair to her rape exam the day after the alleged incident.[4] Detective Doug Winters stated that the yellow underwear she wore to her rape exam contained sperm from another man, along with Caucasian pubic hair. Bryant's defense stated that the exam results showed "compelling evidence of innocence" because the accuser must have had another sexual encounter immediately after the incident. Faber told investigators that she grabbed dirty underwear by mistake from her laundry basket when she left her home for the examination. On the day Faber was examined, she said she hadn’t showered since the morning of the incident. The examination found evidence of vaginal trauma, which Bryant’s defense team claimed was consistent with having sex with multiple partners in two days.
The evidence recovered by police included the T-shirt that Bryant wore the night of the incident, which had three small stains of the accuser's blood on it. The stains were invisible to the naked eye on the white T-shirt. The smudge was verified to be Faber's blood by DNA testing, and probably wasn't menstrual blood because Faber said she had her period two weeks earlier. It was revealed that Bryant leaned Faber over a chair to have sex with her, which allegedly caused the bleeding. This became the sex act in question, as Faber claims she told Bryant to stop but he would not, and Bryant claims he stopped after asking if he could ejaculate on her face.[5][6]
Trina McKay, the resort's night auditor, said she saw Faber as she was leaving to go home, and "she did not look or sound as if there had been any problem."[7] However, Bobby Pietrack, Faber's high school friend and a bellman at the resort, said she appeared to be very upset, and "told me that Kobe Bryant had forced sex with her."
A few weeks before the trial was scheduled to begin, Faber wrote a letter to Gerry Sandberg apologizing for intentional misstatements and clarifying “mix-ups” she made when first interviewed by Colorado police.[8] She wrote that she wanted to make the corrections because she was worried Detective Doug Winters, the lead investigator in the case, did not believe her story. Faber wrote she lied when she told investigators that Bryant forced her to wash her face in his room before she was allowed to leave, stating she never washed her face in his room and instead wrote that she used a mirror near the hotel elevator to clean up her face. She said this was the only thing she “exaggerated.” She also admitted to lying about having car troubles the day of the incident. In the last paragraph, she wrote that Bryant asked if he could ejaculate on her face and that it was “a degrading comment” and “difficult to talk about.” And concluded the letter with this statement:
“ The other thing is that when I was finally able to pry his hands off my neck, when I turned around his hands were in the air, like someone would when a cop asks them to put their hands in the air.
I know that none of these things change what happened, but I wanted you to know. Please call me if you have any questions.
Sincerly,
Kate Faber[9]
”
Bryant's defense lawyer Pamela Mackey asserted that Faber was taking an anti-psychotic drug for the treatment of schizophrenia at the time of the incident. Faber was hospitalized as a "danger to herself" four months before the alleged sexual assault.[10] Lindsey McKinney, who lived with the accuser, said the woman twice tried to kill herself at school by overdosing on sleeping pills. Before the alleged incident, Faber, an aspiring singer, tried out for the television show American Idol with the song "Forgive" by Rebecca Lynn Howard, but failed to advance.[11] In addition to Faber's moral character and reputation being challenged by Bryant's defense lawyer, she received death threats and hate mail.[12]
On September 1, 2004 Eagle County District Judge Terry Ruckriegle dismissed the charges against Bryant, after prosecutors spent more than $200,000 preparing for trial, because Faber informed them that she was unwilling to testify.[13]
Settlement
Before the case was scheduled to go to trial, Faber filed a civil lawsuit against Bryant over the incident on August 10. The two sides ultimately settled that lawsuit, with specific terms of the settlement being undisclosed to the public. Bryant did, however, issue the following statement through his attorney, as part of an agreement with the accuser to dismiss the sexual assault charge:
“ First, I want to apologize directly to the young woman involved in this incident. I want to apologize to her for my behavior that night and for the consequences she has suffered in the past year. Although this year has been incredibly difficult for me personally, I can only imagine the pain she has had to endure. I also want to apologize to her parents and family members, and to my family and friends and supporters, and to the citizens of Eagle, Colo.
I also want to make it clear that I do not question the motives of this young woman. No money has been paid to this woman. She has agreed that this statement will not be used against me in the civil case. Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter.
I issue this statement today fully aware that while one part of this case ends today, another remains. I understand that the civil case against me will go forward. That part of this case will be decided by and between the parties directly involved in the incident and will no longer be a financial or emotional drain on the citizens of the state of Colorado.[14]
”
Aftermath
Eight months after the initial incident the Lodge & Spa at Cordillera remodeled and as part of that sold some furniture. There was speculation that some pieces included in this sale were from "Room 35" where Kobe Bryant had allegedly stayed at the time.[15] The lodge denied this and stated they had disposed of the furniture from that room separately.[16]
Bryant signed a seven-year, $136 million contract a year after the allegations, and regained several of his endorsements from Nike, Spalding, and Coca-Cola.[17] He remains married to his wife Vanessa Bryant, and was named the NBA's Most Valuable Player in 2008 and the Finals' Most Valuable Player in 2009 and 2010.[18]
You guys are like lemmings.
Kobe Bryant's highly publicized scandal does qualify as a major sports scandal in pop culture. Those outside the basketball world may very well only know Kobe on these terms.
Personally, I am only concerned with basketball related content. Do you hear me talking about Tony Parker's plowing of Brent Barry's wife, Jefferson's midnight rendezvous with the boys on boats or about Tim Duncan's alleged gay lover? No. That's TMZ crap.
I focused solely on basketball. Robinson dominated by Hakeem, Ron going nuts in Detroit, and Chris calling timeout as a teen.
So when we're talking about how basketball players will be remembered for their actions on the court, that's what I talk about.
And David "the Pussy" Robinson will always be remember for bending over the chair for Hakeem in the 1995 Western Conference Finals.
Kobe is a great player but also easily the most over rated player of his era. He's like the Little Wayne of the NBA, he got two les without Shaq,all the while deferring to an All Star big like Gasol and had the greatest coach ever then he's compared to Jordan unjustly. Lil Wayne, who has kissed a man, who's best album has moved slightly under two million units, calls himself the Greatest Rapper Alive while guys like Ludacris, Jay Z, Eminem and Nas have sold more of one single album than all of Wayne's albums combined. Think about it.
I will take Bimbo Coles over Kobe any day...
If you googled "history2b", which word pops up, dumbass, or basketball novice? Both?
Looks like you haven't figured it out yet... Nobody in here gives a what you're concerned with.
Impressing some midgets at some ESPN forum ain't gonna cut it here, junior.

Anal Prolapsed...
You're only concerned with things outside of culpability for your team, you mean. What did Kobe do to Robinson? Anything? No, of course not.
