    Speaking of Shaq's book... I remember him saying in his book that when he was younger he would get tickets to Spurs games and him and his friends would sit all the way up in the nose bleed section... this was obviously impossible due to the fact that Shaq's rookie year was the year before the Alamodome even opened.
    He was talking about the Convention Center Arena, not the Alamodome. I used to go to Spurs games and sit in the nosebleed seats, too. But, if I ever saw Shaq there, I didn't know it was him.

    I miss my DRob too. You know, it looks to me like the man can still play in this league. He looks just as in good shape as ever, and is still probably in better shape than 80% of the NBA players still. His back should be completely healed by now. I say, he needs to come back as our 12th man next year and he can be used about 10 mins a game, and be used in the playoffs to help shut down opponents on D and rebound.

    Nah. Hopefully, you're just kidding? David is happier right now than I have ever seen him (including winning two championships). He would never make a fool of himself like MJ did.

    Your brother was obviously en led to an autograph -- any celebrity should expect, when he goes out to do everyday things, that he'll be repeatedly approached and asked for autographs; and shame on David for not just rolling over and giving an autograph to everyone who ever asks.

    I suspect that part of the reason that David remains in San Antonio is that people DON'T roll up on him and bother him with crap like that. I've heard many Spurs (current and former) say that they stay in San Antonio because people here respect their privacy.

    FWIW, Bill Russell never signs autographs for anyone. He's said before that if people want to talk with him, he's available for that; but if all they want is an autograph that doesn't mean anything, they aren't getting it. You might think it makes him a jerk or an ass, but I think that's a perfectly acceptable approach.

    Autographs are basically garbage. Maybe it's just me, but I'd be much happier to tell people that I had a conversation with someone like David Robinson than to show off some piece of paper with a name scribbled on it.
    That's how I've always been, too. I've never asked anyone for an autograph. I figure if they don't ask for mine, why should I ask for theirs?



    I had a friend who used to wait tables at a Bennigan's in San Antonio that a lot of the Spurs used to frequent in the early '90's, and he managed to get the entire team's autographs on a basketball except for David's. He decided to take the ball to the Spurs offices and try to get David to sign it and was told by someone there that there would be a $50 charge for David's signature. My buddy decided not to pay the fee. I don't know if he would have been able to get the signature if he'd ever run into David, but I know he was pretty disappointed about not being able to get it at the time. But I agree that it's completely within his right to not sign something if he doesn't want to.

    True dat. He's always been accomodating and congenial to the media. He's seemingly made a nice transition from one of the greatest players of all-time to Spurs superfan.

    Wouldn't it be great if he registered here and became a member of this forum - anonymously of course.

    Next to Tony Parker, David Robinson is another great Spur.

    DRob could put down the popcorn, walk down to the bench and start over what the Spurs have at the 5.

    In all fairness though.... David more than likely still has more game than Nazr or Rasho... his conditioning is also probably there... but still not 'game shape'...

    Nevertheless, David's basketball IQ is still better than Nazr's and Rasho's.... combined.

    but the outline is different, it has silver outline and the one DRob is wearing looks half swingman half replica because the NBA logo and sizing looks swingman/authentic but the lettering and numbering looks like a replica.
    If you notice, there is no "reebok" or "nike" logo by the NBA logo - and it's David Robinson, for ****'s sake. Thus, it is a true authentic jersey. He probably just picked up the phone and asked for one. Like they would say no.

    david belives in the sprewell policy that he has got to feed his family
    I mean how else would david be able to feed his family if he wasn't able to sucker some little kids out of $50 for an autograph

    He decided to take the ball to the Spurs offices and try to get David to sign it and was told by someone there that there would be a $50 charge for David's signature.

    Yes, David Robinson's life in San Antonio pretty much shows him to be nothing other than a self-absorbed jerk.



    You must be kidding.

    David's basketball IQ is more than Rasho and Nazr's combined and squared.

    Whether that's true or not, implying that David Robinson is a jerk is about the most asinine thing I've ever read on this forum.
