Robinson probably had the most delicate dunks compared to his build. Still one of the top centers to ever play the game.

[@PIP...33]

BEST ARSENAL OF DUNKS I LIKE HIS SIGNATURE PUMP 2 HANDS BEHIND BACK OR WITH 1 ARM SWITCH DUNK TO OTHER ARM. HIS BEST IS TRANSITION DUNK SWITCH ARMS. FUNNY I THINK HE INVENTED THAT I SAW NOWITZKI USES FEW TIMES SWITCH ARM DUNK.

Man, it reminds me how physical the 90's hoops was. It's really fun to watch

[@badabingpixtures3675]

It's professional Lifetime Fitness league today. They ruined the game -- it was so much more fun to watch back then.

[@ctuna3360]

Thank you!!! I was a huge Sonic's fan in the 90's. This is my first time watching this game since its original airing back then in '96. Another great game and even better series of the 90's that no one talks about!!! Thank you.

9:14 That Robinson dunk over Malone was brutal. Good dunks by Robinson & Malone

[@TheIkaraCult]

Just love watching Malone around this period, graceful fall away jump shot but was big enough to take on most people in the paint as well.

[@TimothyMcGaffinII]

Thanks for the upload. Awesome dunks by Karl Malone and David Robinson.

Too bad his free throws weren't

I cant see how ja morant wont get hurt trying to dunk on these two.

AJ and David Robinson were practically a backcourt.

[@coreyrowe4119]

Spurs won this game but they generally looked pretty overmatched in this series.

[@jermaineonealnumber7]

Little General to the Admiral! Clear the decks!

[@MEANDMYDAD2023]

The Jazz were simply a bad match up for those pre-Duncan Spurs. Spurs were always too predictable back then and would allow Robinson to get his while the Jazz made sure to shut his supporting cast down.

[@JoshCConnor]

Tim Duncan's first playoff loss was to Utah

[@MEANDMYDAD2023]

@SuperSaleen01 the point I'm making, though, is no matter if we're talking regularly during the season or in post-season play the Jazz owned the Spurs. Once Duncan became the go-to option the Spurs began to reverse their slide against Utah. Duncan was not the go-to option in his rookie campaign of 1998, it was still Robinson's team. So, I agree to disagree.

[@perditadurango9699]

@@MEANDMYDAD2023 u do realize Duncan had superteam. Admiral play here alone vs 2 hall of famers best PF ever Malone and best PG ever Stockton. Tim Duncan is just wagon that's why Popovich tanked he already had top 3 center he only need any solid PF to help Admiral not work against triple team every playoff.

[@PIP...33]

@@perditadurango9699 BIG FACTS MATE. U PUT ANY GOOD PF LIKE SHEED OR WEBBER NEAR GOAT ADMIRAL, HE WOULD WIN 3 IN A ROW. DUNCAN IS NOBODY. LUIS SCOLA PROVED THAT

[@Wesley771000]

Robinson's supporting cast sucked back then. From 92 to 96 I always felt that Robinson needed another star next to him.

[@noname9360]

Besides robinson spurs didn't really have anybody else sean elliott was their second best player

[@damonsonnier34]

This was a very close matchup, but I think that David Robinson slightly outperformed Karl Malone in this game.

[@muszemusze7572]

That's it though,he could never create his own shot

[@mr.e347]

Man Spurs were a joke in 90s. No one ever believed on them. David was amazing of a player, shooter, rebounder, defender but his teammates were so mediocre. It hurts to see Avery Johnson get a ring and Stockton with nothing.

[@d.b.cooper2174]

Robinson gets blamed for playoff failures in the early-mid ‘90s, but people fail to acknowledge his poor supporting cast. He really carried those teams, and had more success than he should’ve given the fact that he didn’t have another superstar. Give him a Pippen or Drexler like other ‘90s superstars had and he would’ve won at least one more title than he did.

[@PIP...33]

@@d.b.cooper2174 AT LEAST HE DIDNT EXIT LIKE MJ 1ST ROUND EVERY YEAR THO HE HAD DENNIS FOR WEST FINALS BUT DREXLER WAS GOAT HELP TO HAKEEM. ELLIOTT WAS ONLY PLAYER WHO CAN REALLY BE HELP HE IS NOT ALLSTAR LEVEL OR HOF.

[@melvynsngltn27]

​@@d.b.cooper21741990 & 1991 San Antonio was pretty good. Yet they lost in the first round to the Run TMC Warriors. 1994, 1996 & 1998 they lost to Utah in they playoffs. San Antonio was a good regular season team

[@MrCollinGabriel]

They didn’t play the same position lol.

[@geert574]

Malone had no help that night, Hornacek and Stockton scored nothing, all the other Jazz points came from bench Keefe and Russell

[@PIP...33]

STOCKTON IS NOT SCORER U DERANGED GUY HAD 19 DIMES PREVIOUS GAME. DO U EVEN KNOW WHAT BASKETBALL IS. SHALL I CALL SHAQ TO SWEEEP MJ 1995 SO MJ CRY TO ''NONE-SCORER'' 2 PTS PER GAME DENNIS TO SAVE HIM NEXT YEAR.

[@perditadurango9699]

@@PIP...33 This is MJ fan who had Hakeem's profile pic , he is possible born in 2005 that's why he think basketball is PPG. I agree, Stockton no need points dude dominate game like Rodman or Ben Wallace. Better ask why MJ can't pass, rebound or block. He pile up only PPG so ppl cant blame him for bricks and first round exit every year prior Pippen.

1:54 i never understood why they never called this a travelling violation... ewing, duncan, webber, nowitzki and as seen here robinson. in fact all of the big men were guilty of that move

[@juventinos81]

because its not a travel.robinson jumps,grabs the ball and lands with both feet which means that he can choose any of his feet to be his pivot.

[@perditadurango9699]

@@PIP...33 I think your fav center Admiral is faster but maybe you are right about Willis Reed tho. Ppl usually made mistake with speed and quickness. Just like in football they think acceleration is same like speed. I think Admiral is almost fast as Wilt but Hakeem quickness could be close with Reed. I forgot that he invented multiple pump-fake. Players who invented most things : Wilt, Bob Cousy, Pistol Pete, Baylor , Reed and Dr. J !! Then Ginobili Iverson came with new era dribblings like Zeke used to say : me and Timmy we used to dribble narrow box , then Iverson came and bring total revolution in NBA !
