Man, Uncle Cliffy was one of my faves in the early 90's! Good player and better person. He always responded to his fans on twitter. RIP to the OG stretch 4!
Cliff was impactful as a rookie. In his first playoffs he was guarding The Admiral David Robinson and they beat the Spurs. I don't think Portland wins that series without him.
Truth! these folks don't know. I made a similar point before I saw yours. Just like Detlef was Nowitzki who wasn't given enough chances to LEAD lead. So much talent from the 80s and 90s
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American and male. In 1990-91, being only 18, after Kevin Duckworth struggled mightily in the playoffs, I naively thought that Clifford Robinson should have played center. Not realizing that he was a thin guy, and more of a SMALL forward, despite his height. It was proven in a 1991-92 game, Portland at Cleveland, Duckworth had an easier time guarding Brad Daugherty (wrestling in the low post) than Clifford Robinson did.
Right after the Pistons won the title, Larry Brown gave propr to Uncle Cliffy among the players who helped build that Goin to Work culture, and weren't there to bask in championship glory. That's how much he meant to that group.
Crazy how in a tougher era a player of his significance was able to be an iron man health wise yet he was suspended more than once for of all things Marijuana use. At crucial times during playoff runs.... Smh. Now da league weak and they reward players by allowing them to chief w/o worry. Commissioner Stern hurt the league more than he helped it back in the day. Clifford Robinson was one of the most talented 2 way players and a matchup nightmare for defenders da way a close to 7 footer could stretch da court.
RIP Clifford Robinson. One of the best NBA sixth mens.
RIP Uncle Cliff One Of My Favorite All Time Players
Uncle Cliffy's defense was terrific. Now it's Uncle Jeff Green who is in a similar role.
Uncle Cliffy is greatly missed.

Main headband of the 90s.
His headband was iconic
How about one On Kevin Duckworth?
I'd love to see one on Eddie Jones and Alan Houston.
You are good. So far, they are unsung heroes of the past.
I would like to see Jeff Hornacek, Thunder Dan Majerle and/or Derek Anderson.

I love the days where there were unique players with unique skill sets
You can’t tell me that that isn’t Kevin Durant’s dad.

He reminds me of a proto-type of Kevin Durant.
"underwhelming" 😂
