The Admiral was awesome! Played for Naval Academy, served couple years in the Navy, then came into the NBA. He was 7’ tall. Also, if you ever watched a Spurs game when the National Anthem played he always stood at attention. Oh yeah he helped the Spurs win 2 NBA championships and played for the USA Olympic team winning gold twice. Salute Mr. Robinson!
David Robinson is my favorite big man ever. Swift, smooth, powerful, and quick - he did it on both ends, and just fun to watch. One of the greats to ever lace them up.
Robinson was one of those players who influenced the next generation. Imagine having someone like him in the locker room - that authority. You cant buy that kind of influence
First play already captures the unique ability of David Robinson. He is a 7ft center who can dribble end to end like a guard. No other center during his time could do that, let alone be as deadly effective as he is. Now we have Wemby and Chet doing those things, but D-Rob started it all.

Idk why people talk about Duncan so much, maybe because 5 championships, but these top 10 are far more impressive than Duncan's. Plus he's a great shooter, I remember him very well, I used to watch a lot of basketball in the 90's
David was amazing, & had a lot more athleticism than Duncan. What separated Duncan was the low post game--both the famous footwork & his pinpoint passing from the post. He dominated a lot differently than Robinson, was quicker than he looked, & often saved his best games for the playoffs. Look at highlights of his 1st playoff game in Phoenix--he just took over & won the game while David was still there & an all-star. I think Robinson would've won a title or 2 w/o Tim mid-90s if he had a better #2 than Elliott (who was good but more of a #3 on a championship team).
Robinson was probably the more physically gifted and individually dominant player. Tim Duncan was known as the "big fundamental." He was so consistent and precise that he didn't need to be the most naturally gifted, though he was a good athlete too in his own right. It's an interesting question to ask how Robinson might've done if he had coach Pop, Manu and Tony for most of his career. Rings, longevity, and consistency are the main reasons why Duncan gets more acknowledgement. He also played more recently so his greatness lingers in people's minds more easily. Robinson also played in a tougher era for big men I think, not that Duncan didn't have tough opponents, but Olajuwon, Ewing, young Shaq, Alonzo Mourning, and also just having Jordan's Bulls winning all the rings in the 90s made Robinson more overshadowed
Robinson's peak was higher but shorter, Duncan was a slow burn that was just deadly consistent. Robinson's career was cut short on the front side because unlike most NBA stars he did a full 4 years of college (as did Duncan), and additionally served 2 years in the Navy. Then later in his career when he still should have had several solid years left he had a major back injury that he never really fully recovered from, kind of like Larry Bird. Robinson's best few years he would have eclipsed Duncan, but Duncan had far longer longevity and consistency.

The Admiral just epitomsed '90's NBA. Such a legend. Thankfully we have the internet and Google now so Americans can look up that word to understand it.
@@marcusbrady5414 Thanks for a perfect live example of another layer of ignorance! They have limited concept for the world around them, to the point where they will blindly assume that their butchery of the English language is 'correct'. US spelling is not necessarily correct spelling outside of that bubble.
Played 4 years of college, lost 2 years to military service, most improved team in history his rookie season and more win shares in his first 7 years than anyone since the merger including Lebron, Shaq, MJ, Bird, Magic, Duncan.
So people not talking about how he dunked and blocked Hakeem but they focused on one MVP season game being outperformed by Hakeem from only one game? People I tell ya. Much respect to the Great Admiral
Ok, we’ll talk about it. They have both blocked and dunked on each other. Hakeem didn’t only outplay him in one game. He out played him all series long for the western conference title. The problem with Robinson is he shriveled up when it counted the most and you can’t do that being the best player on your team. Spurs fans wanna make excuses for Robinson about being doubled and tripled team when they did the same with Olajuwon who was still making shots while being doubled or defended one on one.he knew when to kick it to the open three point shooters who made the defense pay. The biggest difference to me between these two great centers is Robinson didn’t have much of a post game compared to Olajuwon and didn’t have a consistent turnaround jumper like dream had. When Robinson did post up he would either play make or slash to the basket. With the exception of scoring in transition, which Robinson did better, Olajuwon was more skilled offensively and even on defense he was arguably better.
@JudgementDay829 understood. Even great players do get outperformed or had some flaws at times, but it doesn't take away their greatness to the game. Robinson deserved much praise and respect as much Hakeem & Shaq because they all battled each other at the high competitive level that made who they are that we all known them to be.
@@TheSub-SaharanAmericanLegend if you saw my original response to you, you’ll see I called both centers great, but with that playoff performance dream gave vs Robinson, it showed he could take it to another level. That performance elevated him to a greater status than the Admiral.
Same shit like people claiming all the time that Hakeem "destroyed" Shaq in the Finals. Shaq shot 60% from the field scoring only 3 ppg less despite that Hakeem took 40 more shots in these Finals shooting below 50% FG. Shaq upped his output for the Finals while Hakeems averages dropped. Nick Anderson as a 85% free throw shooter missed 4 consecutive FTs in crunch time of Game 1. These narratives always... (CORRECTION: Nick Anderson was never such a good FT shooter, I messed this up in my original post)

7’1
And bronze once,1988.
And a trained pianist too.
He also got a QUADRUPLE DOUBLE, and he scored 71 points. He was terrific!
Forever the admiral! In the navy!!! 00 🖤
David Robinson is my favorite big man ever. Swift, smooth, powerful, and quick - he did it on both ends, and just fun to watch. One of the greats to ever lace them up.
One of the all time greats.
Imagine having two Hall of Fame big men on the SAME team. San Antonio Spurs did at one time with Robinson and Duncan.
Robinson was one of those players who influenced the next generation.
Imagine having someone like him in the locker room - that authority.
You cant buy that kind of influence
Met him in south Korea during the 1988 Olympics games, humble and well mannered.
Robinson is my all time favorite! Strong, powerful and humble!

Robinson will flourish in today's NBA. He plays almost like giannis. Power drives and dunks.
and believe me, he could shoot that mid range like butter
Giannis plays like the admiral not the other way around
Wow! Giannis doesn't even come close to the Admiral.
He could shoot midrange too..and hes 7'1 muscular guy
My favorite basketball player

Getting the better of Jordan, Malone, and Olajuwon offensively and defensively. What a beast.
I am just so glad that he finally, late in his career, was able to win 2 championships.
Thx to Duncan
@@ארזמרדי-ה5ד thx to Duncan indeed! But Duncan could as well have had a worse partner at his side.
Really cool video. Really like the music choice and editing. Keep up the nice, hard work.
tive o prazer de ver todos esses caras jogarem ! Jordan , Robinson , Magic , Malone , Pipen ,Garnett , P Ewing , Payton e muitos outros fenomenais jogadores ! E vi o Dream Team 1 q pra mim nao tera nenhum outro time no mesmo nivel!
Awesome Drob top ten ! Great upload 👍

@@darshloafRobinson knock was he wasn't tough enough in the playoffs. He had Rodman he had his help. He wouldn't of won without Tim Duncan.
He’s more athletic than Duncan also. legend
Great video my guy

That last play just hurt my feelings because I saw the Timberwolves was up by a point and KG was there oh man Minnesota days was really amazing.
Always a class act...
One of my favorite players all time
“Players today are more athletic “ 😂😂
Most underrated player of all time he is my second best center of all time behind Wilt
He was a nice and humbe guy. Also, a role model of good players.
#1. That's my boy.
#5-amazing rebound and one of the best in-game dunks!

0:06 So now we know who taught Ginobili the Euro step.
that wasnt euro
In those years Jordan was playing baseball it was all Admiral vs Olajuwon in the NBA
La belle époque .
One of the Best in his time. The Championships he won were not a surprise.
Played 4 years of college, lost 2 years to military service, most improved team in history his rookie season and more win shares in his first 7 years than anyone since the merger including Lebron, Shaq, MJ, Bird, Magic, Duncan.
I see now why Hakeem made DR dance so much in the Finals lol
Hakeem is the GOAT C
Top 40 All-TIme!! #38 on my list. Super under appreciated talent
Great player,pro and human being
One of the most underrated basketball players
Wouldn't say this,always considered among top-10 centers ever.
Great player and great man (as far as I know)
That #3 block on Olajuwon. Oh. My. Gosh.
First guy to win all FIBA World Championship, FIBA Americup, Olympics and NBA.
El Almirante David Robinson, una Apisonadora bajo los tableros, tube la oportunidad de verle en una semifinal 🏀en el 86 en España
The moves on olajuwan and malone are amazing
Against the GOAT C, Hakeem, is very impressive
提督！かっこいい。本当に昔の選手はエースでもDF面しっかりやるのは頭があがらんのよな
The most underrated player in NBA history.
Nope. That's Hakeem. Hakeem is the GOAT C and top 5 player of all time and NEVER gets spoken about.
Never seen a 3-play highlight before. And it only made number 6 wow

Prime Admiral was unstoppable. I would put him on par with Olajuwon and Shaq. He was better than Ewing or Mutombo.
Самый достойный баскетболист.
Очень талантливый, и заслуженный.
The ADMIRAL 🫡
the mailman was murdered twice and also the dream. lol
Wow 🙂

David robinson passed the torch to giannis
You talking about the shoulder? 😅
David Robinson Eurostepped Jordan.
that wasnt euro
My fav is 9th😊
Admiral is The Truth!
All time spurs GG Kawahi Ginobli Duncan Robinson. Bench TP Bruce Bowen S.E. Wemby
I admire what he did on #2 and #1, but still am left unable to see why #3 wasn't the first in your list.
ROBINSON WAS NOT A JOKE.....
My boy stayed dunking on malone
Salute 🫡 to The Admiral
No.10 was a euro step on Jordan before the term even existed.
the admiral is basically if shaq stayed fit
When defense was a thing in NBA
Man no 9 was heard!
En esta época quien podría detenerlo 😎
Easily could’ve been the best player to ever do it 🤷🏾♂️
Admiral... Shoot the med ball like a basketball
Is this basketball ?! Doesn't look like on TV nowadays
Funny how they never show those two big plays byu The Admiral over Hakeem.
7'1 who plays like a sf
Hakeem still embarrassed him more often than not.
No wonder Malone wanted to smash em.. David made a fool out of him ALOT on the court
Nobody discusses the admiral enough
That #10 play? Where was Jordan going? 😂
Number 1 should be drafting tim Duncan 😂
Look, another 90s plumber for all the casuals
That play at number 1 does not even belong in this list. 👎
David Robinsons ran so that Giannis could run faster
Wenanyama is a whole lot better then David would ever be.
Was number 10 a euro step before they called it a euro step
nop
@@DaracVuchko9.81 did you mean nope? You misspelled it
Don't forget 71
He's Greatest center of all time
Hakeem by far sorry
Greatest center of all time you have me laughing over here did you forget what Hakeem Olajuwon did to him when they gave David Robinson, the MVP Akeem abused him in the 95 playoffs
Lmao
Robinson was euro stepping before it was cool.
parang si zion
Left power....
Sabi ng lebron fans hindi daw skilled yung 90s 7'1 ambilis nagdadala pa ng bola coast to coast
David Robinson>>>Olajuwan
It's close, lots of Olajuwan highlights on Robinson but the Admiral had his moments too
in ALL honesty i did do and will really really HATE david robinson
Now the spurs got Victor W the legacy shows up 😊
The euro step variation in play #10 should be coined the Naval Step 🫡
Wow
