Robinson was a great shooter. Midrange and free throws were strong. Combine that with his quickness and it’s understandable why he mostly did face up. His biggest issue is that he never had a Pippen during his prime years (his first 7yrs). It wasn’t hard for apposing teams to come up with a defensive game plan. He did an incredible job earning the stats he has. He needed every bit of that shooting and athletic ability to do what he did.
imagine if he had someone like Kevin Johnson, Reggie Miller, Gary Payton, or Clyde Drexler on his team with him then. He would be remembered much differently.
