I love D-Rob, but I'm pretty sure his homer glasses are getting the best of him here...

Maybe he can come out of retirement and teach Dwight a lesson.
I actually have grown to like David robinson. He is overrated by plenty of Spur fans but vastly underrated by most other fan-bases, mostly because Hakeem emasculated him in a series when Hakeem was the best player in the world (not counting MJ who was busy swinging bats) ...that should not erase what a great career he had. He would easily be the best center if he played in 2012 instead of 1992 ...
If you watch any of the 1992 Dream Team highlights the players who stand out athletically are: MJ, Chuck, Pippen, clyde and David. David was so quick and athletic in 1991 he could beat guards from one end to the other. Great athlete. And when I lived in SA maybe only Bowen was his rival in the community.
If DRob had Hakeem's skill set, he'd be the top center of all time.
Seems sarcastic.http://projectspurs.com/2012-article...ing-spurs.html

Him and Magic used to have friendly banter during the season when the teams played. I'm sure this was just trash talking. I know D-Rob doesn't really think that lol
Robinson put San Antonio on the map…Can't believe Pop tried to dump him for Chris Webber….
If Dwight is healthy no one is stopping the Lakers. Too many weapons that fit nicely together.
Ya think?
well apparently op thinks hes a homer with homer glasses
David doesn't really strike me as the sarcastic type, nor the type to backhandedly diss the Spurs.
It's just tongue in cheek, taking a dig @ magic, nothing malicious... so yea its not a "serious" homer comment. I think everyone is aware of how strong the lakers appear to be next season.
They appear to be strong if they can gel and Kobe can hold up as well as Nash, a few ifs but I think they will be a very good team. I wish they stayed down damnit lol, loved them being knocked out the last two years and wanted them gone as a Laker hater! I knew that would not last, not with their dough and the front office.
well its going to take a pretty poor effort/historically enjoyable failure if the lakers dont make it to NBA finals with their starters as Nash, Kobe, Artest, Gasol, Howard. Despite their age, that is 4 HOF worthy players.
Here's to hoping for their failure,
and another suprising performance by them spurs...
One thing about the "Hakeem emasculation" - DRob had to play Hakeem straight up because The Dream was surrounded by deadly 3pt shooters, while DRob was continually doubled because the Spurs' outside shooting wasn't very reliable. Hakeem was still the best player in the world at the time (as you said), but DRob had a far worse supporting cast which didn't help him.
You should ask him the next time you guys are hanging out.
Just seems like sarcastic friendly banter between two old pals. It's good where two mature people can go back n forth and not become nasty. Just because David didn't emphasise this fact with an 'lol' at the end the sarcasm isnt so obvious. Jeff Garcia must be a bit simple.
On this matter.. I didnt know David was on Twitter. I'll follow him now lol :-)
Maybe you should do that, considering your sexuality.
It'll be two good things for you at once.
^^^^^^

This
I will never downplay the extreme talent of Hakeem, but I find it amusing that most people either didn't even see that series, or don't know what they saw. I was there, I saw it first hand. RuffnReadyOzStyle hit the nail right on the head. The Rockets gave Hakeem SO much more room to operate and thus put Dave on an island due to their three point shooters wheras the Spurs inability to spread the floor put D'rob in prison down low.
Hakeem and D'rob are both fantastic players. That year the Rockets were in full belief of their destiny, much the same way the Spurs were after in '99.
Overrated series imo. Hakeem put on a scoring clinic, sure, but mostly against Rodman (contrary to the ONLY few highlights of him scoring on DRobthat are always shown to "recap" the whole series). DRob doesn't get enough credit for everything else he did, and Hakeem gets way too much for "beating Robinson" when Rodman was the one getting torched most of the time.
Robinson's stats for that playoff series:
23.8 PPG
11.3 RPG
2.7 APG
1.5 SPG
2.2 BPG
45% FG%
78% FT%
Those are very good stats that everyone ignores. It's just that Hakeem scored a boatload since he took 11 more shots per game due to Rodman matadoring him so much to show his ass to the coaching staff.
Robinson's also 30-12 against Hakeem in head to head matchups, and nearly identical stats against eachother bsides scoring, where Hakeem took a handful more shots, scored an extra couple points because of it, yet shot 5% worse than DRob. and lost to Robinson over 70% of the time.
That's all well and good, but nobody really remembers that. Bring up Robinson and Dream and you don't think "Well, David had a 30-12 record against him blah blah blah."
No, the first and ONLY thing that comes to mind is the beatdown in the WCF. You may not think that's fair, but that's simply how it is.
Robinson bible-thumping Rodman is even going to be more remembered than his 30-12 record over Hakeem.
I have not idea who you are and I can't imagine why you are so obviously pained in your rectum, but since you are, you probably should refrain from calling into question anyone else's sexuality.
Newbie here, so you can't really go on that route of attack. I, however, can say the same about you considering your posting history. You're as ty as they come...or as you like to call it, wacky.
off.
