The Admiral was awesome! Played for Naval Academy, served couple years in the Navy, then came into the NBA. He was 7’ tall. Also, if you ever watched a Spurs game when the National Anthem played he always stood at attention. Oh yeah he helped the Spurs win 2 NBA championships and played for the USA Olympic team winning gold twice. Salute Mr. Robinson!

[@omardiangeloarteaga4875]

7’1

[@aleksthegreat4130]

And bronze once,1988.

[@anamrake]

And a trained pianist too.

[@high-defRJ]

David Robinson is my favorite big man ever. Swift, smooth, powerful, and quick - he did it on both ends, and just fun to watch. One of the greats to ever lace them up.

[@Rocketter]

Met him in south Korea during the 1988 Olympics games, humble and well mannered.

[@TheIkaraCult]

Robinson was one of those players who influenced the next generation. Imagine having someone like him in the locker room - that authority. You cant buy that kind of influence

[@Acer3859]

One of the all time greats. Imagine having two Hall of Fame big men on the SAME team. San Antonio Spurs did at one time with Robinson and Duncan.

[@Jesus-do1wl]

My favorite basketball player

Really cool video. Really like the music choice and editing. Keep up the nice, hard work.

[@paolocarlocayanan2960]

Robinson will flourish in today's NBA. He plays almost like giannis. Power drives and dunks.

[@reignmans]

and believe me, he could shoot that mid range like butter

[@michaelkim4703]

Giannis plays like the admiral not the other way around

[@alanalanis2257]

Wow! Giannis doesn't even come close to the Admiral.

[@mcjr1989]

He could shoot midrange too..and hes 7'1 muscular guy

[@LDehaut]

Idk why people talk about Duncan so much, maybe because 5 championships, but these top 10 are far more impressive than Duncan's. Plus he's a great shooter, I remember him very well, I used to watch a lot of basketball in the 90's

[@darshloaf]

David was amazing, & had a lot more athleticism than Duncan. What separated Duncan was the low post game--both the famous footwork & his pinpoint passing from the post. He dominated a lot differently than Robinson, was quicker than he looked, & often saved his best games for the playoffs. Look at highlights of his 1st playoff game in Phoenix--he just took over & won the game while David was still there & an all-star. I think Robinson would've won a title or 2 w/o Tim mid-90s if he had a better #2 than Elliott (who was good but more of a #3 on a championship team).

[@sgshumblecrumb6046]

Robinson was probably the more physically gifted and individually dominant player. Tim Duncan was known as the "big fundamental." He was so consistent and precise that he didn't need to be the most naturally gifted, though he was a good athlete too in his own right. It's an interesting question to ask how Robinson might've done if he had coach Pop, Manu and Tony for most of his career. Rings, longevity, and consistency are the main reasons why Duncan gets more acknowledgement. He also played more recently so his greatness lingers in people's minds more easily. Robinson also played in a tougher era for big men I think, not that Duncan didn't have tough opponents, but Olajuwon, Ewing, young Shaq, Alonzo Mourning, and also just having Jordan's Bulls winning all the rings in the 90s made Robinson more overshadowed

[@quietus13]

Robinson's peak was higher but shorter, Duncan was a slow burn that was just deadly consistent. Robinson's career was cut short on the front side because unlike most NBA stars he did a full 4 years of college (as did Duncan), and additionally served 2 years in the Navy. Then later in his career when he still should have had several solid years left he had a major back injury that he never really fully recovered from, kind of like Larry Bird. Robinson's best few years he would have eclipsed Duncan, but Duncan had far longer longevity and consistency.

[@Mr.Commensence100]

​@@darshloafRobinson knock was he wasn't tough enough in the playoffs. He had Rodman he had his help. He wouldn't of won without Tim Duncan.

[@MaxScheibenpflug]

I am just so glad that he finally, late in his career, was able to win 2 championships.

[@user-vr6mv3mq2j]

Thx to Duncan

[@MaxScheibenpflug]

@@user-vr6mv3mq2j thx to Duncan indeed! But Duncan could as well have had a worse partner at his side.

[@chrisdragoonkevin384]

That last play just hurt my feelings because I saw the Timberwolves was up by a point and KG was there oh man Minnesota days was really amazing.

[@jimvick8397]

Always a class act...

[@graffitifreighttrains1076]

#1. That's my boy.

[@doellison]

In those years Jordan was playing baseball it was all Admiral vs Olajuwon in the NBA

[@anamrake]

First play already captures the unique ability of David Robinson. He is a 7ft center who can dribble end to end like a guard. No other center during his time could do that, let alone be as deadly effective as he is. Now we have Wemby and Chet doing those things, but D-Rob started it all.

[@michaelh2970]

One of my favorite players all time

[@josephdedona4760]

Great player and great man (as far as I know)

[@JaySee8866]

“Players today are more athletic “ 😂😂

[@penuelyahucodiyah.4678]

One of the Best in his time. The Championships he won were not a surprise.

[@ArrakisOCE]

The Admiral just epitomsed '90's NBA. Such a legend. Thankfully we have the internet and Google now so Americans can look up that word to understand it.

[@marcusbrady5414]

They have spell check to correct that word as well but you ignored it lol

[@ArrakisOCE]

@@marcusbrady5414 Thanks for a perfect live example of another layer of ignorance! They have limited concept for the world around them, to the point where they will blindly assume that their butchery of the English language is 'correct'. US spelling is not necessarily correct spelling outside of that bubble.

[@user-gb2vk2ff8x]

I see now why Hakeem made DR dance so much in the Finals lol

[@KidDynamite25]

Hakeem is the GOAT C

[@hongkongsmartboy]

First guy to win all FIBA World Championship, FIBA Americup, Olympics and NBA.

[@zypie1]

Prime Admiral was unstoppable. I would put him on par with Olajuwon and Shaq. He was better than Ewing or Mutombo.

[@eyalganz9783]

The moves on olajuwan and malone are amazing

[@KidDynamite25]

Against the GOAT C, Hakeem, is very impressive

[@mertonhirsch4734]

Played 4 years of college, lost 2 years to military service, most improved team in history his rookie season and more win shares in his first 7 years than anyone since the merger including Lebron, Shaq, MJ, Bird, Magic, Duncan.

[@marlinlaifoo3111]

One of the most underrated basketball players

[@aleksthegreat4130]

Wouldn't say this,always considered among top-10 centers ever.

Nope. That's Hakeem. Hakeem is the GOAT C and top 5 player of all time and NEVER gets spoken about.

[@mrsun9775]

Is this basketball ?! Doesn't look like on TV nowadays

[@Crackoneopen]

Funny how they never show those two big plays byu The Admiral over Hakeem.

[@PlaidDad]

Hakeem still embarrassed him more often than not.

[@jonathanelmore9178]

Nobody discusses the admiral enough

[@user-pt4ng3kl1e]

Easily could’ve been the best player to ever do it 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@TheSub-SaharanAmericanLegend]

So people not talking about how he dunked and blocked Hakeem but they focused on one MVP season game being outperformed by Hakeem from only one game? People I tell ya. Much respect to the Great Admiral

[@JudgementDay829]

Ok, we’ll talk about it. They have both blocked and dunked on each other. Hakeem didn’t only outplay him in one game. He out played him all series long for the western conference title. The problem with Robinson is he shriveled up when it counted the most and you can’t do that being the best player on your team. Spurs fans wanna make excuses for Robinson about being doubled and tripled team when they did the same with Olajuwon who was still making shots while being doubled or defended one on one.he knew when to kick it to the open three point shooters who made the defense pay. The biggest difference to me between these two great centers is Robinson didn’t have much of a post game compared to Olajuwon and didn’t have a consistent turnaround jumper like dream had. When Robinson did post up he would either play make or slash to the basket. With the exception of scoring in transition, which Robinson did better, Olajuwon was more skilled offensively and even on defense he was arguably better.

[@TheSub-SaharanAmericanLegend]

@JudgementDay829 understood. Even great players do get outperformed or had some flaws at times, but it doesn't take away their greatness to the game. Robinson deserved much praise and respect as much Hakeem & Shaq because they all battled each other at the high competitive level that made who they are that we all known them to be.

[@JudgementDay829]

@@TheSub-SaharanAmericanLegend if you saw my original response to you, you’ll see I called both centers great, but with that playoff performance dream gave vs Robinson, it showed he could take it to another level. That performance elevated him to a greater status than the Admiral.

[@TheSub-SaharanAmericanLegend]

@@JudgementDay829 I know that. I was speaking in general. It wasn't towards you. I do understand your take. I agree

[@pekie5533]

Same shit like people claiming all the time that Hakeem "destroyed" Shaq in the Finals. Shaq shot 60% from the field scoring only 3 ppg less despite that Hakeem took 40 more shots in these Finals shooting below 50% FG. Shaq upped his output for the Finals while Hakeems averages dropped. Nick Anderson as a 85% free throw shooter missed 4 consecutive FTs in crunch time of Game 1. These narratives always... (CORRECTION: Nick Anderson was never such a good FT shooter, I messed this up in my original post)
