He is one of only four players in the history of the game to have a quadruple double dumbass.
And no. Not yet. He just now made an all star team. Five-oh was an all star from his rookie year. It's not even close right now. Might he? Maybe. And the bull about his mvp in the finals putting him ahead then by that logic, Iggy has passed DR???? Come on! Who the are you people. You probably never saw him play. Morons.
Right now, its still Robinson
but who knows after 5 years of Kawhi peak??
I knew about the quad-double, but he did it with BLOCKS, not steals. Alvin Robertson is the only one of the 4 with a quad-double to do it with steals. And don't disrespect me like that again, I never called you out of your name.
Kawhi has surprised with his ability to improve key areas of his game.
But considering the incredible talents DRob had, I doubt Kawhi will pass him on individual achievements.
If he does, all the better for the Spurs and the fans.
I think a lot of people that didn't see Robinson play don't realize how great he was. I still make the mistake of underrating him at times because of the Houston loss and also because of the dominance of the Spurs once Duncan arrived.
But Robinson did not have a great coach that knew how to build around him and develop system and find players that would work. They would occasionally find some good pieces to put around him but they never had the continuity or real direction until Pop and company showed up. It was basically, "let's find some good players, put them out there with DR and see if it works". Not unlike what the Mavs have been doing around Dirk. Had Pop been in charge from the beginning of DRob's career, I believe he'd have a ring or two without Timmy.
I certainly think KL should be talked about in the same sentence with Robinson but it's impossible imo to ever say that one was a better Spurs than the other. Of course if KL continues his trajectory, maybe it will be an easier call. But right now, I think DRob is above Kawhi.
It's not like Kawhi outplayed LeBron in 2014
I was going to say that, but honestly 100 years down the road the Spurs could get Michael Jordan reincarnated. You just never know.
I think he will too.
Kawhi better than DROB assumes so much. First-- kawhi continues at this year's level for 7-8 more years, that we win more les, that he doesn't get hurt, that he doesn't leave SA, and that one overhypes the present for the past. DROB was in MVP conversation (if not winning it) for 7 years in a row. He's a top 20 All time player.
Here's hoping Kawhi does that in SA (and i really do) but come on man-- have some patience and enjoy one of the other Spurs who was an elite player for this team. And while he might have rode TD for second le. He was vital to 99 le and timmy's transition into SA (and the winning culture that remains to this day --as he remains active now)
The amount of disrespect Dave is getting in this thread is disgraceful.
The fact that without Robinson, the Spurs could very well possibly be in another city. That alone should warrant him top consideration. His place at #2 is pretty much cemented.
Respect the man...

Finish above him in what?
PPG? No. (DRob's average is above Kawhi's career high)
RPG? No ing way.
APG? Kawhi's career high is DRob's career average.
BPG? No ing way.
SPG? Kawhi slightly higher and I could see him finishing above in this stat.
PER? DRob's career average is above Kawhi's career high.
Rings? DRob has twice as many.
DRob was a monster. He was LeBron tier, maybe higher.
In terms of his position I'm not even sure you could say he has been the best SF in franchise history. Sean Elliott, Larry Kenon, Mike Mitc , Kawhi Leonard. At this point I would say he has only past Mike Mitc .
Just delete your account
LOL. I love Sean but come on.
He's passed everyone on that list already, by leaps and bounds.
I would say no. Kawhi will put up good numbers but I think things are going to be radically different once the big 3 are gone. It will be hard to find guys who can replace the talent and intangibles they brought to the table. This will definitely impact the spurs ability to win games and will effect Kawhi since he will be forced to carry even a bigger load. It all hinges on Kawhi winning another le and a league MVP along with multiple ASG appearances. 2 out of those 3 things will be hard to attain for Kawhi but we will see.
No reply = no argument.
You obviously have never seen him play to even make such an asinine claim in the first place.
I hope this is the case. What a win for spurs fans and organization if it pans out that way
Kidd k takes
Oh, my bad....I didn't know you were a shareholder of the team.
In any case, I'm retired & this what I do on my free time while your mom is cooking after she blows me.
