David Robinson headed to Basketball Hall of Fame
By Mike Monroe
David Robinson, the great center who helped the Spurs win two of their four championships and won two Olympic gold medals as a member of Team USA, has been informed he has been elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy who was known as “The Admiral” during his days with the Spurs, Robinson will be introduced as a member of the Hall’s Class of 2009 in ceremonies scheduled for Detroit on Monday.
Robinson’s inclusion in what figures to qualify as one of the greatest Hall of Fame classes ever was confirmed Thursday by sources connected with Monday’s announcement.
Robinson’s basketball accomplishments include 1987 College Player of the Year at Navy, four first-team All-NBA selections, the 1995 NBA MVP Award, two NBA les, and two Olympic gold medals.
Also expected to be announced Monday as 2009 inductees, but not yet confirmed by the Express-News, are former Bulls star Michael Jordan, widely regarded as one of the greatest players ever, and former Utah Jazz point guard John Stockton, the NBA’s all-time assists leader. Both joined Robinson on the 1992 U.S. Olympic team known as the Dream Team, the first U.S. contingent that included NBA players.
Robinson won his first gold medal with the 1992 team at the Barcelona Olympics and added a second at the Atlanta Olympic games, in 1996. He was a member of the 1988 U.s. Olympic team that finished with the bronze medal in the Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea.

LEONARD should be pinked just for posting that in here. Have some respect for a better player than anyone that has ever been a Mav.
Epitome of a Role Model
