The Admiral is the reason I became a Spurs fan.
This is an excellent piece on The Admiral. I agree with about 90% of it. Yes, Hakeem Olajuwon put up better numbers than him in their series, but he didn't outplay The Admiral to the degree that it's been made out to be for the last 21 years. Here's the link:

Nice article tbh. D Rob is an often forgotten great.
I love how Spurs fans (especially SA natives) put Admiral on a pedestal but on KG when their career is basically a mirror image.
Hakeem actually ate Admiral's lunch 1-on-1 but KG held his own against Tim 1-on-1 & actually performed better against the 2004 Lakers than Tim b/c Malone couldn't guard him on the perimeter.
God bless David.... without him Spurs would be
Priceline gives him some love in their new commercial with Sprewell.
KG recorded quadruple double before?? how can their career be a mirror image of each other..
Ate his lunch to the tune of 12-30 record and 44% shooting?
Dumbest post you've ever made. First of all, KG was an egomaniac bag and everyone knows it. Robinson was the exact opposite. Also, lol @ picking out one year out of so many... 2004, obviously KG's best year... where his stacked team only won 57 games and bowed out in the playoffs. Also, the Spurs tied the season series with them that year (also 2002 and 2003) but we beat them in the season series every other year Garnett was in Minnesota as well as beating them every time we met them in the playoffs. KG was obviously the more athletic guy, but he doesn't hold a candle to TD in the brains department or really overall. Lastly, TD never even considered bandwagoning a different stacked le contender (in the Leastern Conference no less) to win a championship. KG never won a le as the alpha dog, whereas TD won 3 of them. Overall, TD has five rings, KG has one.
With KG, anything is possible... including the fact he's a waste of a roster spot at this point. He needs to retire and let that team grow without him, seriously.
Bazinga! David was taller and more athletic than the Dream and I'm a huge homer when it comes to D Rob, but I had no idea their head to head record was so lop sided. I'd bet Tim vs KG is equally slanted in Tim's favor.
And don't forget The Admiral holding a prime Hakeem to 6 points in a game.
Holy , the backfire
The optics of 1995 will never help David.
The reality of 1995 has never been as bad for David as the optics were.
Hakeem was great for those 10 days. Somehow, that (and pretty much only that) is what now defines that matchup.
Unt, who exactly were the alpha dogs on the other 2?
But I also believe Moses Malone is right there too. Guy was a MONSTER yet i frankly think he gets talked about less than D Rob who gets criminally shunned himself.
That's not obvious to me. Robinson is maybe the most athletic big of all-time.
Hakeem did not dominate drob throughout his career. he dominated for one series. The h2h was always entertaining but I'd argue 5-0 got the better of him. If 5-0 is similar to anyone he'd be a 7'0 tall lebron.
+1 to Moses Malone being a forgotten legend.
Hakeem absolutely DESTROYED the Admiral
Thank god for his injury in 96'
It's not farfetched to say that without him, the Spurs wouldn't be in San Antonio.
+1The Admiral is the reason I became a Spurs fan.
it was easily robinson
Conjecture.
Good read! Thanks for posting!
That was my dad's reason too. I've been a Spurs fan since I can remember because he made me one.The Admiral is the reason I became a Spurs fan.
