- This is a documentary that I made for my favourite basketball player; David Robinson of the San Antonio Spurs. I am not a video-editing professional and I have used only material that is freely accessible on the internet. I hope that this documentary will help the younger to learn a few things about one of the best centers that ever played the game and to remind to the older of his brilliance. Enjoy.
If you love NBA at 90s or want to learn about it visit my blog: nbaat90s.wordp...
His decision to sign with san Antonio, kept the spurs with san Antonio, no doubt. no david, no Duncan, no rings.... The admiral was a beast on the court and is a wonderful human being off it.
he said, he likes to be the underdog. He could have signed with other winning teams like lakers nor boston. I believe he was the gift to san antonio. Regardless of which team he will play, he will always fit in, because of his attitude, gift and skills.
David Robinson is and will always be my favorite NBA player. I named my first son David in part because of him ... the other being David vs Goliath. Thank you for making this.
Great name, God bless your son

He would be soooo scary playing today. When I think of today's C's they are really pathetic compared to the era of Hakeem, D-Rob, Ewing, Shaq, Zo, and even the likes of Mutumbo and Smits.
This documentary is long overdue. D-Rob was a special player. Thanks so much for posting.
Thanks for making this on David, dude doesn't get nearly the amount of love he should get when it comes to what he did on the court.
Great documentary, thank you. David Robinson was the classiest player in NBA and a role model for any age group. The Admiral's final game could not have ended any better with the Spurs winning the title and Robinson contributing 13 points, 17 rebounds and 2 blocks.
JOHN 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
David Robinson is my favorite center of all time. A great athlete and sportsman
JOSHUA 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.

Kenny Smith said that David Robinson was like Dwight before Dwight. What a bonehead. Robinson was a complete player and leader.
***** no no no. It's over, lets go home!
It's not that bad. Dwight just didn't have an offensive game
Do not forget how good Dwight was for a youngster..
honestly, I think he's the greatest Spur ever. Yes Big Tim's the greatest PF to ever play the game (I think..) but he walked right into a solid institution in the late 90's Spurs and with his own greatness helped them take the next step. But David Robinson...comes in as a rookie and, boom, greatest turnaround in history, from 20 to 55 wins. Spurs stay at a high level the entire decade. He's injured just one season, bam, back to 20 wins.
The guy was a monster who won everything. Clearly a Top 5 Centers ever too.
Yeah but the spurs couldn’t win without Tim but they could win without David
* 20 to 56 wins
@@egg8133 yea but nothing . Mr Robinson has won almost everything a basketball player could ever dream of. He is an all time great player and person!
I remember David was a freak on the court and a class act off it. Wish more people were as kind as this guy.
Your wish doesn't have to go far: Tim Duncan.

JOHN 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Nicely done! I have never seen footage of David's pre-NBA years! I've been a Spurs fan since around 1997, so much has happened over the years with Tim and the Big 3 but the player who got me into the Spurs was David Robinson. Thank you so much.
He saved our franchise! period!! Thanks David!
That's right, after Gervin the team had almost nothing compared to the rest of the league.
The man in the middle!
The Spurs would have left San Antonio if it wasn't for David Robinson
David Robinson would have been the most dominant player today if he was playing in today's nba.
Get serious dream completely destroyed him and I was there to personally witness it
@@marktorres1849 Yes one series but overall David had the head to head matchup wins. Dream was great those championships years but Houston did him wrong, he should have retired a Rocket. Dave went out on top, winning a championship and sweeping the Lakers and Shaq along the way!
Just because Robinson would be dominant today doesn't mean dream would not be, he was amazing also. Everyone talks of the Shaq - Robinson rivalry but the olajuwan - Robinson rivalry was the real one, two historic centers for sure.
The greatest gentleman to ever play the game along with his overall skill set, devotion to his family, charity, and holy spirit make him the greatest player to ever set foot on a basketball court. Hands down.
Hell naw
He could do it all on the court and also
served his country. Much respect.
Served his country? How? By stupid USA attacked and tried to occupy other countries??
Congratulations on the excellent documentary. I thoroughly enjoyed it and thank you for celebrating one of my childhood idols.
Just wanted to say that you've done a killer job putting this doco together. I thoroughly enjoyed it, big thumbs up...
Hurry up with the Penny one and maybe even a T-Mac doco too???
Dwight Howard does not compare to David Robinson, but I think Kenny Smith was just talking in terms of athleticism for a big man.
He said dwight howard in consitent level. I believe he is. When dwight plays well, he reminds me of david.
OK fair enough but when Dwight gets 10 all star appearances and 2 championships, then he can be a David. :P
Thanks for making and sharing this video, +sotosfrancy
I'm the fans of The Admiral since 90's
And, now the legend continue with The Big Fundamental.
^_^
A legend and a role model. he started the dynasty of the San Antonio Spurs
David looked cool and badass wearing his Navy uniform. How many former and current players can top that extraordinary career? Hmmm ... Humble man who once his career ended didn't stick to it. He pursued other important goals like helping the underprivileged with education. A giant with a Greek god body, highly intelligent, and truly a husband and father. A role model like no other.
He would have had more championships if David had more help in his prime, and not in his latter part of his career. But in his latter years, he won 2 times in 5 years with duncan. Imagine if he someone like duncan by his side in the early to mid 90's?
At least he had help...compared to Ewing who had none and had to deal with being doubled and triple teamed every night.
Prime Robinson + Duncan would have dominated the league the way Sampson & Olajuwon were supposed to do.
San Antonio was my second team after Jordan retired I started watching San Antonio on 99 till 2014 it just I want to go there one Day to see the Statue of they did a statue for David Robinson Man was a legend at 70 points 95 MVP quadruple double You name it he did it but I'm happy at the end of his career 1999 and 2003 he won two rings thanks to God and number two teammates Tim Duncan and Avery Johnson
This guy is the best basketball player ever. I wish more players these days had a faith in God like him and weren't afraid to show it.
+Samuel King lol
he was the best version of himself.. that is the way to look at it.
Oh my The Admiral!
His speech-wow!! Giving Glory to God...for all the ppl from start to end...well done Admiral.
Wow this was awesome to watch. How did you get all this footage? It shows how much of a Robinson and Spurs fan you really are. I really enjoyed it.
I think he is the most athletic center in his era.
Congratulation from France, David Robinson my favorite player.
Why aren't there more David Robinson documentaries? It seems he's a little underrated... even though most people who saw him play throughout his career know that he was one of the all-time Greats. Like any professional athlete, there is a bit of tragedy/heartache mixed in with the success/glory in Robinson's career, but no one in their right mind could ever consider him anything less than an Absolute Supreme Class-A Dynamo, or consider his overall career to be disappointing, unsatisfying, tainted, or anything like that.... The positives of his career far outweigh the negatives. The man has 2 championship rings, an MVP award, stats out the wazoo, a 71-point game, a quadruple double game, was a truly unstoppable force in his prime (as well as after his prime, in many instances), and is clearly one of the best of the best of the top tier of the greatest players who ever lived. But he did unfortunately get a late start to his NBA career because of finishing up his time with the Navy, started having back pains while he was still in his prime that continued to be an issue through the remainder of his career, and couldn't win any championships until late in his career.. because the Spurs organization never surrounded him with enough supporting talent until they picked up Duncan in '97, who has been given most the credit for the Spurs' championships. And in Robinson's defense, any NBA mind worth its salt knows that no matter how skilled and dominant an individual player is, it takes one hell of a kickass TEAM to win a championship ..and sorry, but Antione Carr and J.R. Reid and Avery Johnson were not quite enough star power to get it done lol. Point is, if it was anyone's fault that the Spurs didn't win any championships until '99, it was more so the Spurs' front office's fault, and less so Robinson's fault. My bad if this tangent comes off as whiney, it's just that Robinson was an absolute beast on both ends of the court who could do it all, and is an epic Legend who doesn't get quite as much credit as he deserves. I won't say the Spurs would be nothing without him because it's impossible to know that, but he certainly is the one who ignited their reign of NBA dominance that has lasted to this day; The Admiral is what made the Spurs great, and then they gradually built on the greatness. Sure, he was only on-court for their first two championships out of five (and counting), but they probably would have 0 championships to this day if it wasn't for him...and they also wouldn't be the most winningest team in professional sports over the last 25 years. The Spurs built their greatness on D.Rob's back. He set the tone and the standard of excellence for that franchise, with his immense skill and his magnetic, classy persona on and off the court; essentially he WAS the franchise; IS the franchise. All-things-Spurs flow through the spirit of David Robinson, which is ever-present at every Spurs game, even still.
Jeremy DiCaprio Great comment. The Admiral is greatly underrated and disrespected mainly because of the series with The Dream(Which wasn't even that bad). But in actuality, he is way better than what these nba history revisionists of today think. He is my all time favorite center and top 15 player of all time IMO. Most athletic center ever and arguably one of the greatest defensive players ever.
Thanks man. Yeah Robinson is an all-time legend, and I agree about him being a top 15 player. And yes, Olajuwon's playoff performance did pretty much taint Robinson's image, unfortunately... Funny how one isolated incident can have that effect on people, whereas if they looked at Robinson's overall career as a whole, it is obvious that he was fire. Which is why he has the rare honor of being a hall of famer, MVP, 10-time all star, and 2-time champion.
This man is pure class.
*Charles, Wilt Chamberlain was a big strong guy who can run and jump. But yea, David also the same attributes.*
Lots of love for The Admiral.
David served on Submarines. That would be hard for him to move around.
I adore this man to the fullest there’s. He’s humble to a fault and I love him for this. Great examples he has shown all through his carrier.
This man is just unbelievable what he accomplished.. He is a blueprint of a centerman. Dont forget he is a intelligent & mathematician. He is top 5 best Centreman of all time. Kareem, Wilt, Shaq, Robinson, Olajuwon
Moses Malone is also better
Robinson wasn't at the draft because he was having breakfast with the president of the United states?!?!! Wtf?!?!?!🙄🧐😄😅😄🤣😁😅😄😆
Yeah levels for the number 1 pick
For a time I thought David Robinson was the Spurs
This was excellent!
Had we not had Hakeem, I would have liked to have David as our center.
Wilt is bigger than anyone in the league has ever played. Hakeem is a little better to david. But david makes twin towers work, Hakeem and Sampson didn't. Hakeem ddn't retire a champion, David did. Hakeem ddnt stay with rockets, David did. Houston didn't continue the dynasty, Spurs did. I put hakeem over david by slight margin. David over shaq in the 90's.
great Admiral.... surely he is a superstar philanthropist and donator of millions to support the youth the poor ... he is blessed wish there would be many as he is around the globe
Congratulations! Excellent documentary my friend! I´m huge fan of the admiral!
David Robinson , a player who many admired yesterday , today , and to be remember as long as there is the NBA .
71 points and a quadruple-double
This is a great documentary on a great man and basketball player!! When he retired I never watched another NBA game and haven’t to this day.
Same 🙏🏽 there is just one admiral 🙌🏽
It's a good thing this video material isn't wide screen, because Robinson's shoulders would be busting open my monitor.
+sclogse1 lmao. W
My all time favorite player Go Spurs GO
Race for seis!!
this is SUPERB, uploader. Thanks so much for this !! Really pure pure freakin gold, major thanks !!
I used to have the Robinson Pumps.Those shoes were the greatest thing
David Robinson doesn't realize that soldiers don't get the military career he got. He is to tall and was strictly there for basketball and academics. Soldiers get used and sent home in wheelchairs and limp bizcuits.
hes way better than howard kenny.he's so agile and dunk at ease hes fast quick feet.the only guy that is better than him is hakeem.
Such a class act. If any of the prima donnas of todays game were to accomplish such a feat we would nevet hear from the end of it! His records speak for themselves. Gervin gave us our swag, put us on the map. D.Robinson gave us our team first mentality, intelligent play & Respect on and off the court
The Admiral. Five-0, Five-0. Great pro and a great man. The NBA should do one about him and most of all thank you sir for this well built documentary considering the resources you had.
Robinson was my favorite player as a kid. I collected ALL of his cards. I still have 'em! Amazing lefty shot-blocker, rebounder, scoring machine, jumper to boot. Team leader, good God-fearing man, a real role model!
The Ken Griffy of basketball 🏀👌
Just wanted to say u did an outstanding job on this documentary. I'm thoroughly impressed and I enjoyed it very much. I have been a fan of the admiral since he first became a spur. He was such a class act on an off the court. Cudos again for just a fantastic video. Thank you. Would love to see one on Duncan if you are looking for ideas for your next video. Thank you again for one of the best things I have watched in a long time. Have u done anything else? I would really like to see anything else you have done.
Thanks for the kind words. I wish I had more time to work on this to make it even better as well as work on new ones. I hope I will be able to start one on Penny Hardaway or Larry Johnson soon and Tim Duncan is definitely on the list.
David Robinson must have been born mature. Lol. Such aplomb and poise when he was interviewing even as a college senior
Hakeem is better
Robinson better Career Win share percentage, VORP ( Value over replacement player) and PER ( Player Efficiency Rating) than Olajuwon.
Ok but this isn't about Hakeem. This is about Robinson greatness. Some like Hakeem & Some like Robinson. It's like a Muslim vs Christian argument. You choose one
my favorite player as a kid...he had the best rate of basketball value to humbleness in my opinion... a very rare silent HERO...
Class Act, you do not want your kids to play like him you want them to be like him as person
Hes my number five BIG...Ahead if him Bill Russell, wilt,Akeem,Kareem,Shaquille, so number six?? The top five you can put them in whatever order first two Biil and wilt hands down then Kareem?? Kinda tough bc I just thought of Robert parrish,red head white guy Walton with the bad feet...him!!Ronnie sikley..john salley,my goodness moses malone I'm sorry mr malone!! So now Robinson is number 7..? Keep thinking of other like Ralph Sampson..ok now I'm done.???🤔
*The Admiral*
One of the greatest and fastest big man, he had the strength and size of a Center and the speed and agility of a Guard. He started the Spurs revolution and made the Hemisfair Arena/Alamodome his neighbourhood. His injury in 1996/97 was heartbreaking but turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Because of that Spurs finished 20-62 but earned the No.1 draft which they picked Tim Duncan and with the Admiral back, Duncan turn out the the final piece of the jigsaw which Spurs needed to build their own dynasty.
What a humble God inspired person .What a class act and wonderful role model. Thats what separates the Spurs from other selfish organizations in the NBA , their choices in good character players. Go Spurs Go !!!
The Navy won't accept recruits 6'7 or taller. Becouse of smaller spaces on a boat or submarine. David Robinson grew 5 and a half inches in college. His Father and Grandfather were also in the Navy.
Great job at this documentary. What a classy person and genuinely humble guy David Robinson is.
I always admire an Admiral in many aspect...
His braces were funny to me, I don't know why.
Class act top5 big man of all time
Very good job, especially considering you aren't a "professional," as you put it. It was a very comprehensive documentary, and it was great seeing the background and history of Robinson with the Navy and in the draft. What I liked the most was seeing the interviews of Duncan and Robinson together, and seeing that dynamic and Robinson's leadership.
If I had to critique, I would say you did a great job of combining footage with interviews to keep the ADD-inclined people such as me from getting bored, however there were a few times, such as the footage of Robinson's plays at Navy, that got me a little bored. And if I had to nitpick, I would consider normalizing the volume, as sometimes it would be too loud, and sometimes too quiet.
All in all, though, great job, and I'd encourage you to keep making videos, because you definitely have a talent.
+vtecin247 Thank you for the kind words and the constructive criticism. I agree with your point about the Navy highlights, I thought about reducing them, but then I thought I should provide some footage from his college years, since David Robinson became the 'the admiral' during his years in the naval academy. However, if I had to do it again I would definitely reduce this part. I definitely agree on the volume issue, but I didn't realize it until it was too late.
There was a point where Kevin Durant was nice and yet tough in the same time and sort of embraced that as a brand even.. i can´t remember what the branding was.. Now sadly he sort of dropped that later on. But David was a man that never did that. Maybe that also was the thing that was a bit annoying to Shaq. He was not a man of trash talk etc etc...
Thankyou, he is the reason i have been a mad spurs fan for 35 years. Such a beautiful man, basketball was not his greatest asset.
71 points in a game.
David Robinson = Humble yet Self Secure, a Believer yet not religious, serious yet funny and i could go on
such a class act. Cant believe his ROY was 27 years ago.
Great stuff +1

He was a good player. He got his first title in 1999 with the spurs.
The Admiral himself
I love David Robinson
Thank you for making this.
One of the all time great athletes who was a great humanitarian
I miss the short pants era, the tight buttocks😊
he like giannis type player
What a great man.. so much character.
This is a man kids should look up too.
Thank you for this video, I watched every second and couldn’t look away. As a young boy I watched Mr Robinson and the Spurs and fell in love with the silver and black. I feel a sense of pride just watching him and the Spurs play. I am from San Antonio and no matter what happens to the Spurs there will always be a part of my heart that belongs to them. Thank you David Robinson for solidifying my love for the San Antonio Spurs. You brought us pride that we will always carry with us!!!
This is Rick James and I'm reporting live from buffalo NY 716 go bills
They used the Crimson Tide theme for this well made documentary about David Robinson due to his service in the U.S. Navy and yes Crimson Tide is a Submarine movie.
3:30 song?
Greatest moment is Spurs history was the day he agreed to sign!!! If not, within a year the franchised would have moved to New Orleans!!
Dive dive dive... 150ft. zero bubble.. his Ned Flanders of the NBA .
Love the use of Roll Tide by Hans Zimmer, one of the most epic pieces of music ever!
My Most respected player of all time the one who made me believe you could do it the right way and still WIN
