At the Hall of Fame

[Admiral]

I realized tonight how much I have enjoyed not hearing much about Michael Jordan for the last 6 years. I just don't like him. I can respect his compe ive nature and NBA career, but as a person I find him objectionable.

Tonight was about David Robinson for me, thanks.

Great speech by David. So typical of him to be humble... the speech was not about himself, rather it was all about thanking others. His sincerity shines through.... I'm so happy for David!

All are finished except for Jordan, he'll be done in about 10 minutes or so. We have the opening statements with David getting his jacket and all the inductees.

Oh god I just watched all those great videos of robinson-my hero-the dude who covered my room with i think i had 6 posters at one time in a pretty small room up, ha. Just got teary eye throughout those videos. I only wish a robinson would come and grace the NBA with his talent, at ude, humanity every ten or so years but there will never be again anything like him, but those who got to watch him and follow him thru his career should all feel blessed-I know I do. At 28 I still put the man, the player on a pedastal and as a person you can only strive to be like. Love ya dave. Ya played the game right, and more importantly you've played life right.

Wonderful speech from the Admiral. I would've expected nothing less from him. He's always been a pretty insightful and funny guy to me. Personable, humble with a good sense of humor. Damn shame he had to go first and then didn't get around to his speech.

Somehow, I was hoping for a spontaneous Avery Johnson impersonation.

Also enjoyed the links to those local press conference at the CA.

Thanks for posting those Duncan228.

great abbreviated speech by robinson. he'll always be a stand up guy. i thought jordan's speech was a little...........off. seemed a bit i-told-you-so-ish. i also found it weird that denise austin was in the spurs section. is she connected somehow?

Video from the Gala (Sean, Ice, Tim, Craig Sager, Ric Bucher and Kenny Smith) and a few new ones from around the weekend.

Don't know either. It took me a minute to put her name with the face. Once I did, I wondered why she was sitting in area around the Spurs.
