Was David Robinson really a playoff choker? Someone who couldn't lead a team to a championship? Or is that narrative warped by the outcome of the 1995 Western Conference Finals? Like Bill Russell, is there way more to Robinson's impact than his scoring? And did unlocking that 2-way impact make him one of the most valuable players ever?
This is the 7th episode in a series on the greatest peaks in NBA history (focusing on 1977-2020), featuring detailed scouting reports and film breakdown on the best players in NBA history at their best, along with analysis of their impact using historical data & stats to size up the highest peaking players ever.
There's also a Thinking Basketball Great Debates episode on Robinson here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
