Robinson had to do everything for his team. He was the main offense, played tremendous defense, got steals and threw great outlet passes. A lot of times he lead the charge in the transition plays. It was amazing seeing him play for the Spurs.
@@Q.B.2.L.B. Kareem Abdul Jabar would be the top 5 being 3rd place in that scenario. Hakeem Olajuwan would be the best center of all time, David Robinson 2nd
I think shaq thought he would just overwhelm team's like David's Spurs by sheer force and inside dunks and short shots in the paint. But Dave at this point was much too smart and had more experience and could do it all shoot from both inside and outside shots, dave slowly but surely gets the spurs back into the game and god was that dunk and a foul at the end epic a.f. that let you knew there Spurs had this game in the bag. This was the same season daves 71 point game was to win his scoring title over shaq also.
U DO REALIZE GENERATING POINTS ALSO COULD BE DONE WITH REBOUNDS. LETS SAY HE GRAB 14 REB, AND 30% OF THOSE TURNED INTO FAST BREAK OR 3'S THAT MEANS 5 REBOUNDS FROM THOSE 14 ARE POSSIBLE 10 TO 15 PTS MORE. 2ND CHANCE OFFENSIVE GLASS ALSO CAN DO THAT.
A shame Robinson never had a great partner in his prime. He had to carry those mooks until Timmy came.up. Imagine if he had Penny, KJ or Reggie at his side at his peak.
Sean Elliot was a tremendous wing. All rookie team and 2 time all star. Very underrated during an era with Nique, Pippen, Shrempf, Chris Mullin, Glen Rice, Big Dog, etc.
@@samg6986tremendous wing my ass and Avery Johnson was average at best as a shooter. Hakeem had a pg who could defend pass and score and 3 and d guys all over including a versatile athletic wing that could shoot and defend in horry. Duncan would have the same results if that was his squad. .
Na this Shaq is young, goofy and weak. The best Shaq was 2000 one vote from unanimous MVP, 2nd in DPOY, scoring champ, 2nd in rebounds, 3rd in blocks, all star MVP and FMVP all in the same season. He played 79 games at 40 mins per game the highest of his career.
@@JayYo21 he far from weak. He ran the floor like a deer and his free throws were signifcantly better. There no need to be 400Lbs and injury prone If so, zion should be your go to guy
At the end of the 1993-94 season, both were chasing the scoring title. In Spurs final regular season game against the Clippers, DRob scored 71 to clinch it. Shaq lived in San Antonio at one point. To "motivate" himself, he fabricated a story that he was snubbed by "The Admiral" in an autograph signing session. Shaq rebuked and apologized to the revered Spur a decade later, exposing his character flaws like sensitivity and insecurity. Size can be deceiving. Again, of only Phil Jackson didn't coach him.
@@malcorub yea good one thats about it most come in skinny pick up weight over time but u check stats rovinson didnt outplay shaq wins shaq pts shaq reb shaq plus after 97 robinson had duncan to help name shaq power forward ac green an horace grant so shaq had out rebound an outscore both those cats in paint by himself
Top Centres of the 90s in order-sorry for the overrated reality check Shaq fans: 1 Hakeem 2 Robinson 3 Ewing 4 Shaq. My god this is the best Shaq could run the floor in his career and he's at best 50% as consistent as Big Dave in that departnent. My god! what an underrated legend! 36 points 13 boards and 6 blocks against prime Shaq playing out of his skin. Most dominant big is so laughable Wilt is still rolling over
Reality check? Shaqs first season was 92-93. His first couple years were Smack in the middle of the primes for those 3. Settle down lol. He went to the finals at 23 vs Hakeem at his pinnacle. lol He was finishing top 5 in mvp voting in his 2nd and 3rd year. Then had a couple injury seasons. But by 97 he was the best center in the nba by far. And when he peaked in 2000, that version of Shaq woulda rag dolled those 3. I lived this era dude. I’m happy he was younger, cuz I love those 3 and woulda hated to see him beat them up had they overlapped more.
David on his peak, prior to injuries was a beast.
No matter who played on NBC in the 90s, the vibe was epic!
Great game by Shaq & The Admiral. DRob was on another level here prob his peak such a great player
Yes he had a 70 point game to close out the season.😮
yup before back injury and before he got super jacked which i always was suspicious of lol

Absolutely loved that era‼️🙏🏽💯💯
david was actually better in 1994 than in his 1995 MVP season and was second in the voting in 1996 as well
David Robinson had incredible court awareness,and pair that up with a great post game and a deadly jump shot,you have a HOF player on the floor.
He was athletic and fast as giannis too...look at his highlights, he can play like a guard
The Alamodome didn’t have a long existence hosting the Spurs (9 years) but it’s quirkiness and size made for a unique homecourt advantage
It looks like 40 thousand people showed up to see Shaq V David .
It's crazy how athletic Shaq was at that size and David Robinson all around game was nasty he is a top 5 center of all time in my opinion
How about David Robinson being top 2 that makes more sense

Shaq was a freak of nature in his younger days when he was slimmer and more athletic!
Those old Magic black pinstripe jerseys were 🔥
True. Looking for a Shaq jersey in black.
David Robinson won this one on one matchup in passing and defense. He also generated 50 of the Spurs points by scoring 36 and passing 7 times.

David always came up short when it mattered most until Duncan got there....
Hakeem didn’t have a real co star in 94. Separated himself with those two runs
Sean Elliot was a tremendous wing. All rookie team and 2 time all star. Very underrated during an era with Nique, Pippen, Shrempf, Chris Mullin, Glen Rice, Big Dog, etc.
I like the admiral a lot but he had Rodman for a few years. No excuses he just lost but he got 2 chips in the end.

2:00 😮The admiral ain't having none of that young Shaq Keel
To of my fav center of all time
I love when when robinson posterized someone rodman tuckle him and hugging
Funny thing is , that Shaq had his most rebounds and blocks per game in his rookie season.
David Robinson just amazing!

The left hand of doom.
David and Ewing were some of the only centers that could stop shaq's strength back then. Hakeem also.
Ben Wallace got him as well in the '04 finals and the '05 Eastern conference finals
Nobody could stop Shaqs strength. But they could frustrate him
SHAQUILLE O NEAL
DAVID ROBINSON
I remember Hakeem, Yao, Wallace and Duncan reguarly locking Shaq up. Which is saying a lot because Shaq was a beast.
Locking Shaq up???? They may have had good games but I'm sure they didn't lock him up none of them LOL
Stop.
Bring backs bugs like this!!!!
ADMIRAL ALONE VS PENNY + SHAQ. SOMETHING JORDAN NEVER DID.
Youngest rookie in the NBA shooting guard/small forward "Penny" Hardaway is the greatest B-Ball player.
Such a ridiculous comment, that dude you got as your profile pic was carried by Mike
So you're not seeing rodman there with the admiral and Sean Elliott who's putting up 18 ppg?
I believe if Shaq could of stayed that size he would of been the goat
