    Awesome. It's seems cliche' at this point to say that he's the reason I became a fan, but he is. Always an inspiration and SORELY missed out on the court (understatement?).

    absolutely great point by whott..going in with MJ isn't a negative at all..

    David is probably the most underrated top 20 player of all-time..people seem to only mention him when talking about the series vs. Hakeem, which is very sad..a lot of people seem to have forgotten how great he was..

    Dear David,

    You are the reason I became a Spurs fan; I discovered you in 1992 when watching the pre-olympic tournament (I wasn't living in North America back then, so the only players I knew were Jordan, Magic, Isiah, Bird, Wilkins, Pip and Dumars).

    I want to thank you for that.



    Oh, and since I'm a Spurs fan, I stumbled across Spurstalk one day.

    I truly hate you for that.


    Lefty.

    Congrats to Big Dave! My favorite player of all time getting the respect he truly deserves! It's a great day for all the Admiral fans out there! Drob was so underappreciated by non spurs fans.

    I might even cry depending on how emotional it gets
    What are the odds of it? Seriously, MJ's taking bets

    I fear that I'll have to look in the front row, call out, and scold him
    when I see he and Oakley playing high stakes Hold 'em
    Those six rings must feel nice when times are tough,
    I've got two plus a wedding band, which means I still have all my stuff
    Well done!

    Congrats to The Admiral. I agree with whottt, being in the same class as MJ is a positive, to be recognized alongside someone that is considered the best.

    Today is a big day. Rookie of the Year award, Most Valuable Player award, two-time NBA champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist, scoring champion, rebounding champion, blocked shots champion, numerous IBM awards, and the respect of teammates and opponents alike for his skills on the court. For all of the talk about the great person David is (and it is undoubtedly true), it is nice to have credence given to his numerous accomplishments on the court too. Hopefully the fact that he is a first-ballot Hall of Famer will be a gentle reminder that the guy is one of the best basketball players in history.

    Congratulations, David. You deserve this. Many of us who became basketball fans and Spurs fans because of you are enjoying it right along with you.

    As a lifelong citizen of San Antonio, I can say that we have been truly blessed to have one, David Robinson, mosey into town. He is the ring leader of this circus of class, respect, dignity, and winning.

    I hope that when I have children, they will be as fortunate as me to have some really class act local sports heroes like David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Sean Elliott, Manu Ginobili, Bruce Bowen, etc.....

    Express-News updated version.

    Robinson joins Jordan as Hall inductee in '09
    By A.J. Hakim - Special to the Express-News

    DETROIT — As David Robinson, John Stockton and Michael Jordan laughed and joked with one another on stage Monday at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame news conference, it was clear that the friendship and respect remained intact.

    The three share a bond from the iconic summer of '92 in Barcelona, when the Dream Team won Olympic gold.

    “It's funny because I have such great memories with those guys,” said Robinson, who played 14 seasons with the Spurs. “We were just back there talking about the Olympic team and how we just practiced so hard, had a great time playing with each other and we learned from each other.

    “Standing up here on the stage with Michael and John, how do you describe that? We've walked through a bunch of stuff together, and here we are at the end of the line together. It's truly an honor. I have a great deal of respect for both of those guys.”

    All of them retired after memorable playing careers, Robinson and his two former Olympic teammates will join active coaches Jerry Sloan of the Utah Jazz and C. Vivian Stringer of Rutgers in the Hall of Fame's Class of 2009.

    All five will be inducted formally Sept. 10-12 at the basketball shrine in Springfield, Mass.

    Robinson is the second former Spurs player to be named to the Hall of Fame, following George Gervin, who was enshrined in 1996.

    While Gervin helped pave the way for the Spurs to move from the American Basketball Association to the more established NBA in the 1970s, Robinson energized the city to support the team after years of sagging attendance in the '80s.

    “When he came here, we were at a crossroads with the Spurs, and he truly made the difference,” former Spurs owner Red McCombs said last week in San Antonio. “He allowed us to compete, and we couldn't have (become a four-time champion) without him. In fact, I'm not sure the franchise would be here without him.”

    The 7-foot-1 center from Navy won NBA Rookie of the Year honors in 1989-90 and led the team into the playoffs in 13 of his 14 seasons. With Robinson and Tim Duncan, the Spurs won the franchise's first two NBA championships in 1999 and 2003.

    “David Robinson embodied professionalism and character both on and off the basketball court,” said Spurs general manager R.C. Buford. “His induction to the Hall of Fame is only fitting for a man who did so much for the Spurs, the City of San Antonio and the game of basketball.”

    Nicknamed “The Admiral,” Robinson won a scoring le in 1994 and added a Most Valuable Player award in 1995, but he said the highlight of his career was the 2003 championship.

    His last moment as a player was a championship moment as the Spurs won at home, defeating the New Jersey Nets in the NBA Finals.

    “All I can say is that very last day of my career, when I walked off the stage as NBA champion,” Robinson concluded, “I was entirely content with my career. And that's a good feeling.”

    I love Robinson's massive game against the Clippers. He needed to score a certain amount of points to be the scoring champ and he did it.

    Back when I started playing basketball about when I was 8/9 in 89-90 was introduced to Robby by a friend and since that time I found my idol/fav basketball player/role model. He made me want to play the game even more and pretty much made me into a basketballaholic. I remember when I was 14 I had two life size posters of robby on my wall and 4 regular size ones-so pretty much my whole room was covered with robinson-haha. I love the guy, still wish I could watch him play everyday or at least if he would do some commentating or TNT work or something,ha. Its like anytime a clip of him or shows up on tv I am like glued to the screen still. He's truly the type of guy you want to be like and even to this day at age 27 I still sometimes find myself trying to be better sometimes thinking about robinson. Anyways, cheers to the man, congrats Mr.Robinson
