We need more David Robinson's in the world.

Roger who served in Vietnam for a year is just like David as far as he would not trade is late entry into the NFL with his years in the Navy...

I met him in Colorado while he was on vacation with his family. My sons brother in law, was around 14 and he cane out to say hi to Paul and his buddy guard got in the way. David pushed him to the side, and he told him that he was going to talk to the young man and have his picture taken with him. A UNIQUE HJMAN BEING. IT SHOW HIS MILITARY UP BRING....THANK YOU DAVE. THE ADMIRAL

He talked about his Olympic experience.. Very humble, respectful... says somethimg about his character, which led to him being a champion and representing what it takes to be a professional .. In theTop 7 centers of all time...underrated. But appreciated..

What a legend! Human, and player. The Basketball world and the World are blessed to have a gentleman like him. Thank you mister Robinson for what you give! It’s a pleasure to hear your thoughtful words and see you healthy and smiling. 🙏🏻

An AMAZING ambassador for the game of basketball. David Robinson is a better person than player. His relationship with the Lord is so compelling.

Always a pleasure listening to David Robinson.

The “Admiral”. Was a big fan of his because he served his country first, then did his basketball thing. Love this

Great American, humble man

I know it's too easy to say this on a David Robinson video, but I genuinely think he is the most underrated big man in NBA history. The Spurs SUCKED in the 80's, won 21 games the year before he came and then won 56 games when he arrived - as a rookie. Got all the individual accolades and when he got that second big talent every team needs, they won titles.

What a man, and what an example for or I should say representation of our lord Christ Jesus.. thankyou David .....

He has such a great attitude and I wish more athletes had the same attitude.

I admire David Robinson as a Person and then an Athlete!

@@TheSands83 One thing to note. Everytime he was on the floor he was Double teamed. Yet Avery would still pass to him and David would Still Jam on the double. Avery was never guarded. He was a CBA player that averaged 9 ppg in the CBA. He was a 10 day pick up by Don Nelson in 1991. Then The Spurs saw he was cheap so they signed him for a few years. He was not a PG that could draw a double team like Stockton could. Vinny Del Negro was an ok player in a summer league at a Local Rec Center but he was ranked about 50th amoung SG's in the 90's. Willie Anderson wasn't good either. Elliott was ok. The Spurs without Robinson in those year would've been about a 20-30 win Team each year in that NBA and West. Infact maybe even a 15 win team some years.

I wish there were more leaders like him. I also wish there were more people like him in this world today. His faith is what got him through life. He loves playing for Dennis Rodman, so he enjoyed being his teammate.

Truly a neat guy with excellent values. America needs more David Robinsons. One of my favorite interviews.

David Robinson is and has always been a leader and role model that has inspired everyone here in San Antonio. I'm blessed to have seen his entire career here in SA.

My favorite NBA player of all time , favorite professional sports player of all time,. A true hero of mine

The Admiral! Miss watching him

great guy, we are so lucky that we watched him play🍀

DR is so impressive you get short of adjetives. You hear him speaking and it feels like he got enough fire to go in 2024 and beat some soft players put there in the NBA. Excellent interview btw.

He was a huge role model of mine when I was a kid. Legitimately an all time great player and person.

I know if I live my life for Jesus Christ and do the right things when no one is looking, I’ll be able to meet David in heaven…. Thank you for some amazing memories all of you that played back then were absolutely the best players on the planet on and off the court…

It stuns me how enthusiastic and light hearted he speaks about his journey. He must have had many hard days and sleepless nights in his childhood with a often absent and strict father and a military school yet he seemingly took it like a breeze. That is some serious strength and his incredible physque undermines his bigger than life mentality. A born leader and a inspiring person for sure. Leader as a rookie in the 20th century of the NBA, that's unheard of.

Hes one of those perfect human beings. The NBA and USA are lucky to have him.

The Admiral

I was through Air Force basic and tech school in the fall of 88. I was fortunate to get Spurs tickets on the night they played the Lakers and gave David a sports car on center court at the old Alamo dome. My first ever NBA game.

Dave the spurs needs you now to mentor wemby

I’m way too young to have watched David Robison play but as a spurs fan I do my due diligence and go back and watch as much as possible about Robinson as possible. Fan base is beyond grateful from those who watched to those who saw the foundation he made for the organization

One of the greatest players and people the NBA have seen. Deserves a significant spot in the basketball hall of fame.

I met David when he was assigned to Kings Bay(1987/88), he leaned over to look through my survey instrument and almost knocked it into the Crooked River when he forgot to flip his hard hat backwards! He was very apologetic and a nice guy!

Beautiful human being.

I really wish Tim Duncan appears on one of these.

Impressive man, who hears a voice that calls him to things that are bigger than himself. Would love ro coodinat with Him to change the World for the Better. Great voice, great inspiration Praise God from Whom All Blessings flow.

David Robinson was one of my favorite players growing up.

Class act. Never a negative story about him off the court. Instead of leaving school early he fulfilled his commitment. He made me a Spurs fan. Go Spurs Go.

We need more David robinsons in the world

Yeah the “twin towers” monicker had been used before. Buuut because of their talent and SUCCESS David and Tim and it iconic. They are the definitive NBA “Twin Towers”. Great interview. David is just such a great guy. I mean that reputation is even more we’ll known than his play. Everybody knows he was a great player. But he is KNOWN for being a TERRIFIC MAN. That’s why I like Dave.

It's fun to imagine how David would play in today's game. He might have been even more dangerous. The man had a very good midrange jumper. I could see him shooting around 35% from 3. His body type and athleticism are the closest resemblance to Giannis that I can think of.

He's way Stronger than the Players today Also hadOne of the Best Post up Games and a Very good Mid Range Game. Also he was a Baller and knew how to get points without anyone calling plays for him. Embiid needs 100 plays called for him and is clumsy if someone pushes on him. Robinson had great balance in the post in traffic. He also is maybe the all time leader in Dunks per game. Even back then he was getting about 4 dunks per game today with no defense in the lane he would get 8 dunks per game. He was also the Best 7 foot Finisher on the Fast Break with Jams and Dunks. He was faster than Giannis. Jumped Way higher, Quicker off the floor, more strength and stability. Better at shooting. Better Feel for the Game. WAY BETTER AROUND THE RIM. WAY Better defender. If he played today He would win about 5 MVP's

@JimBrave-ri1oc Hey man, I get it. You're an old school fan, so you're gonna rate guys from that era a bit higher. The Admiral was my hero growing up, but in all honesty, he was not stronger or more athletic than Giannis. Comparing the two is a nice debate, because Robinson had a far better post game and jumper. Giannis, however, has that tenacity, aggressiveness, and killer instinct that Robinson did not have. Giannis also has better handles and passing. It's a pretty close call, but I'd still pick Giannis.

@@kylecraig6789 Robinson jumps way higher than Giannis. Giannis is just better at dribbling the Court. Cause back then the Caoches didn't care for Centers to Dribble it up all the time. Robinson is faster and quicker. Robinson is Stronger with better power moves inside. 25 year old Robinson in todays NBA would be 38 ppg 16 rebounds, 5 blocks 2 steals. If you think giannis is quicker off the floor and isn't just a one leg leaper mainly then why doesn't he get 3 blocks per game and 2 steals like Robinson did. That is a skill of Quickness Robinson is Quicker. Also He was more Built. Giannis is kind of weak on blocks and steals for his size. Also his rebounds are low always stopping around 11.
