There have been more than a few legendary players to wear the San Antonio Spurs uniform but David Robinson has always been particularly interesting to me. I started watching Spurs games in 2000, shortly after my family moved to San Antonio, so I only really saw the twilight years of Robinson’s career. But The Admiral was giving opponents fits long before then.
It didn’t take Robinson long to establish himself as one of the most dominant players in the league. He opened up his Hall of Fame career with seven straight All-Star appearances and was a league leader in points, blocks, and rebounds at varying points over that stretch.
