Reply With QuoteArchie, stick to the topic our stick it up your @ss.
If Duncan never came, you would've held it againt Robinson if he decided to spen his final couple years chasing a le on a championship contender.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Poor Archie once again miserably misses the point: it's not just who is on your team, it's who your playing against!
Yes, Robinson didn't have a Stockton-caliber player and good supporting cast during the era Malone did. However, Malone never had a Duncan-caliber player and good supporting cast during the era Robinson did!
Robinson lucked out with an injury to get a superstar at the right time...the post-Jordan era. It boils down to this:
Robinson + Stockton < MJ + Pippen
Malone + Duncan > Kidd + Martin > Sprewell + Houston
You swap the teams Robinson and Malone played on, and Malone has the two rings. Got it??

It's sickening how people can fault Malone for wanting to go to another team to give himself a chance at a ring. Yet:
1) These same people would not be ing if Malone came to San Antonio, and
2) The same people would care less about other run of the mill role players joining the Lakers as well. Malone is getting grief because he was once a superstar. That is just awful. The man has given his all to the Jazz, and to the NBA. He just wants one more realistic shot to win the le, no fault in that.
Where were all the people who are ing when Kevin Willis decided to play for San Antonio last year, even though he had never won a championship before that???
QUESTION.
Shake, stick to your point. You said DRob never carried a team by himself and I pointed out that Malone never had to do that.
GW, shut up.
Archie wanted Malone for his Plan D. He's just bitter and needs to vent.
No I didn't. It was Payton and Miller.
My bad, Arch.
I just don't know why you hate on Malone so much.
Robinson wanted him to join the Spurs. So did Pop.
Question.
Is Archie = MarcusBryant?
Question.
Is adidas = shoe?
Archie = MarcusBryant = SpursFan
His enganging personality and winning smile didn't shine through?
Oh well...I tried.
Archie...very slowly now...neither Robinson nor Malone would have been good enough to beat MJ + Pippen + Rodman + Kukoc.
Neither Robinson nor Malone will ever have the prestige of leading a team to a championship.
It's just as easy to say that Robinson "piggybacked" on Duncan as is it would be to say that Malone "piggybacked" on the Lakers. Malone, in his prime, had the help to take his team to the finals, but had to play an almost invincible Bulls squad. Robinson happened to pick a couple of rings as a second and third option in the latter stages of his career. Now if Robinson had actually played like the MVP instead of Dream's biatch in a certain WCF, the story might be different...
Your Malone-bashing is just flat out stupid.
Without DRob's play in 1999 there is no way the Spurs win a championship. To argue otherwise is stupidity.
Robinson was never as vital as Duncan in either le run.
Malone was always the best player on his team.
If Duncan never joined the Spurs and Robinson decided to pursue a ring elsewhere at the end of his career, you'd be disgusted by that, too?
That's a shame.
Wow. Suddenly DRob had a hall of fame guard to play with during his first 8 seasons in the league. I never realized that before.
Without DRob there is no '99 championship. As for 2003 he gave the Spurs what they needed at the 5 versus LA.
Stop dodging the Question.
If Duncan never came here, Robinson never wins a ring with us.
Would you have faulted The admiral for taking $1.5 million to win a ring elsewhere in the twilight of his career?
Question.
That's not the question and you've dodged the most questions ever in this forum and the old one so you can shut up about that.
When did DRob ever have a player of Stockton's caliber as a teammate from 1989-96?
That's the question.
At least DRob can win a le when he gets real help.
And don't tell me he had nothing to do with that 1999 le. That's patently absurd.
Stockton was always second banana to Malone.
Robinson was always second banana to Duncan.
Figure it out.
Yeah, DRob at the end of his career and he took a backseat. Anyways, please remind me how many championships Malone won in Utah. And let's not forget that Malone played with one of the best, if not the best, point guards EVER in the history of the game for the first 17 years of his career.
Stop acting like DRob played with Duncan for his entire career. He didn't.
And before I forget DRob didn't have some hall of fame bigman watching his back during his first 7 years in the league.
-ArchieAt least DRob can win a le when he gets real help.
No, no, NO! The correct statement is: "At least DRob can win a le when he gets real help and plays the '99 Knicks and '03 Nets in the Finals."
You can replace "DRob" with "Malone" in that sentence, and it's still valid.
Now consider: "Malone cannot win a le against Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, and Toni Kukoc, even with the help of another great player."
Replace "DRob" with "Malone", and that also holds.
Point is neither Robinson nor Malone ever led his team to a championship. Malone came closer b/c of a better supporting cast during his prime, but still no cigar.
Malone led his team to two Finals appearances. Robinson didn't.
Robinson won his les with Duncan being the best player on his team.
Malone was never afforded that luxury.
How can you fault Malone for toiling in Utah for about 15 years and deciding to win a ring elsewhere for the verteran's minimum?
Question.
Malone led his team to two Finals appearances with John ing Stockton. When did DRob ever have a guard like that in San Antonio during his prime?
So you think Malone should've beaten Jordan's Bulls one of those two times in the Finals, but Robinson gets a pass.
That's pathetic.
Malone is letting the Jazz move on and is accpeting a league minium salary to take a back seat like Robinson did and win a le.
Robinson wanted Malone to come to the Spurs, screwball!
How can you fault Malone for toiling in Utah for about 15 years and deciding to win a ring elsewhere for the verteran's minimum?
Question.
Let's see Ghost, if Malone was to that point 'the best power forward ever in the history of the game' and likewise for Stockton at point then perhaps they should have taken out the Bulls.
Again, name for me the best guard that David Robinson had as a teammate from 1989-96.
Malone's piggybacking to get a ring now is lame. Hope it blows up right in his face.
I don't give a damn who the best guard Robinson ever played with. He never led his team to the Finals like Malone did.
Now you expect Malone to have defeated Jordan's Bulls because he had the PG from Gonzaga?
Robinson piggybacked Duncan to win his les.
The only difference is that he got paid $10.5 million to do so.
Are you really this dense? ****, how do I have to phrase it so you can understand?I don't give a damn who the best guard Robinson ever played with. He never led his team to the Finals like Malone did.
Ok...David Robinson never had a John Stockton to "lead" to the NBA Finals.
Maybe you'll get it....eventually.
