Happy birthday to Spurs legend David Robinson

It took two years for him to complete his commitment to the United States Navy, but he then turned around and fulfilled his commitment to the Spurs. Not only did he make good on his drafting position, he stayed in San Antonio his entire professional basketball career...and then beyond.
Tim Duncan is the GOAT, Manu Ginobili is the heart and soul, and Tony Parker is the spark.
But David Robinson is The Admiral. He is the one who brought the culture and paved the way for Timmy, Manu, and Tony to thrive.
