what a player
Can we get this guy back into the lineup?
What a freak this guy was. I remember him then, we took it for granted because there were so many great centers then, but what a guy like this would do for a team today is unbelievable.

So much better than Olajawon. Not even close.
It's a pity he played most of his career surrounded by scrubs.
-lol Benoit Benjamin
-Amar'e can only dream about doing those things.
-The only better defensive center was probably Bill Russell.
-Even as late as 2002, DRob was stlll a better defender than Tim.
How did Olajuwon get 2 DPOY's and D-Rob only 1?
How did Ben Wallace get 4 and Tim Duncan get none?
How did Mark Eaton and Marcus Camby get any?
Didn't Ben avg more blocks and rebounds in those years he won? and like Tim, he was his team's defensive anchor.
I agree on Camby and Eaton, but comparing them to Olajuwon's successes is ignorant, tbh
One thing I always loved about some of Dave's dunks were their contradictions.
He'd put some flash on 'em -- a little windmill, a pump, a change of hands -- but as soon as he flushed it, the head went down and he looked as if he didn't want you to think we saw what we just witnessed. It was almost as if he was sneaking in a little fun in while trying to avoid being reprimanded by an officer or tying to show-off without showing anyone up.
Olajuwon was way better than Robinson tbh. He's the second best player I've ever seen next to Jordan. Still he was way, way better than Kobe, so there's no need for laker fan to talk .
Dave always had that song going on in his head and you could see it in his movements after he dunked. I am not sure what the song was, surely a gospel one, but it was funky and he would not be able to hide it.One thing I always loved about some of Dave's dunks were their contradictions.

Ah, so blocks + rebounds = DPOY? Got it. Ignore the fact the Duncan was a much better anchor as born out by team defensie
It pales in comparison to the ignorance of comparing number of DPOY awards.I agree on Camby and Eaton, but comparing them to Olajuwon's successes is ignorant, tbh
No, he wasn't, actually. I'd agree he had a more dominate peak but he was not a much better player than Robinson.
Had David Robinson been coached by this Gregg Popovich then, there's no way in people would have come to that conclusion. Bob Hill doesn't get nearly enough credit for the Houston series that has tainted the minds of many as to how Robinson and Olajuwon truly compared.
A damn shame that a young D-Rob was surrounded by guys like Vinny Del Negro and that the Spurs fumbled on Glen Rice...but prayers were answered with the arrival of Duncan.
The young NBA bigs today are nearly pathetic by comparison compared to D-Rob and his peers.
Who brought up Kobe? This was about Admiral vs. Dream, and furthermore...defensive big men
Not for a while. Hakeem was like a freaking 7' PG. He had moves and savvy that I have not seen before or since.
Just a poor troll, the 2 to 1 comparison.
That's all . . .
Nearly? Outside of Howard, who would be near the bottom among those giants like Ewing, Hakeem, David and Shaq (and Ralph Sampson), what center would even pose a challenge? Darko? Bogut? Hardly.

Are you that blind of a Spurs homer? The Dream averaged more rebounds, blocks, and steals than D-Rob. He has 2 DPOY's to D-Rob's 1.
Do you have any empirical evidence to prove D-Rob was better?
Here come the Hollinger minions...
The point is its no shame to be worse than Olajuwon, Kobe's never been able to sniff his jock, but he's had a fine career nonetheless. Same for Robinson.
There are a number of greats that were held back by their draft team. KG comes to mind...
lol people comparing Duncan's game to Kobe's game for no reason. That's like comparing Bill Russell to Jerry West...and you guys claim to be knowledgeable
Not sure if I'm unable to comprehend the sarcasm or if you're answering someone else's question.
I provide statistical and visual evidence that Hakeem was better than David, and I get flamed. Don't get angry guys, Hakeem was just better. Life goes on.
Stay classy, Spurfan
