this man is true inspiration even in 2023. Not even an idea of bitterness or negativity for anyone, a true blessed man .
Dream shake
I Love David .
The NBA should be promoting Him and more guys anything even close to Him
Real Super Star human being 🌟
50 David Robinson 💫
What a man, and what an example for or I should say representation of our lord Christ Jesus.. thankyou David …..
I admire David Robinson as a Person and then an Athlete!
David is either wearing a hairpiece or he had a large amount of hair plugs. He was severely balding after he retired and now his hairline is suddenly back, looking like he’s 30 years old.
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.
Respects to my Fellow Leo David Robinson 🙏
where is Arthur Steven Lange Junior to ruin his show? lol
Always a pleasure listening to David Robinson.
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.
The Naval Academy produced 2 solid, quality human beings. David Robinson in basketball and Roger Staubach in football.
In an all time Draft Robinson would go 2nd. Here's why, He or MJ is the Easiest to Build a Championship team around and also Robinson was the 2nd Most Productive player. He is the only player in NBA history that can take any 25 win team and win 55 with them every year. Jordan can do that maybe 2 or 3 times, Robinson can do it 8 times. Then just add a Swingman All Star and you have a 2-3 Time Champion in any Era.
I would love to know his honest opinion of Lebron James setting at his sons game during the anthem
Thank you, David Robinson for your service and being a great example. NBA today needs to look at you, Jordan, Larry Bird, Dominique Wilkins, etc as to what professionals are how to act.
DONT, THINK HE LOVE DENNIS WORM RODMAN BECAUSE AGAINST ROCKETS, DREAM WAS UNSTOPPABLE, DAVID NEED HELP TO GUARD DREAM, HE ASK WORM FOR HELP, WORM SAID NO AM GUARDING MY MAN, THEN WORM WENT TO BENCH TOOK OFF BOTH SNEAKERS LET THEM KNOW HES NOT GOING BACK IN GAME ON NATIONAL T.V FOR SURE, THEN WORM GOT TRADE TO BULLS, REST IS HISTORY WINNING 3 CHAMPIONSHIP RINGS, WITH TOTAL 5 RINGS LMAO
Nerd
IS THIS A RECENT INTERVIEW HE LOOKS YOUNG
The world needs a leader like David Robinson today and his faith has always been a shining example.
Off all those Dream Team I greats, The Admiral was my favorite player.
Good guy, smart, etc…
But lets not kid ourselves. He was a physical freak. The average guy with equal intelligence and work ethic could never do what David Robinson did. Luck is more important than skill.
David can you talk to KD about weightlifting for strength and size.
did he have a hair transplant?
David was one of my all time favorite players. To me if he had loved the game a little more he coulda been in the GOAT conversation. He could do everything. He had the body, athleticism, could shoot. Just amazing player.

"Mr. Robinson's neighborhood," loved his commercials and kicks back in the day when I was a kid.
Was at Rupp Arena in 87 and watched his 45 points, 10 blocks, 14 rebounds. The whole place stood and applauded his efforts.
Dave the spurs needs you now to mentor wemby
The theme of this interview: Two Hair Plug Men 🤣🤣
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.
One of the guys who inspired me to play basketball 🏀. Thank you Mr Robinson
Beautiful human being.
What a great, humble man. So rare in today's world.
The great players seem like the ones who have a late growth spurt.
