He was putting up 30 points per game one year plus like 11 rebounds and had insane defense, then another 27 points a game, then another 25 seasons. The year when Duncan joined, he put up 21 points per game that season, then another 16 points a game, and then 18 points per game, so how did he save him? Robinson had no one, and Duncan has way more helped than Robinson. So at the end of his career, he had 17 rebounds this game plus 2 blocks. Duncan didn't teach him how to play out there; they still needed him to win. People really don't know sports or dislike the spurs, which many consider one of the best centers of all time.
