    Whoa he died young like Chadwick. Death comes in threes. I wasn't a big fan of Cliff but remember him easily from childhood and he had game. He played for a looong time.

    RIP

    He is basically an iconic background drop player of the 90s. Everytime there was a cameo of players being interviewed in a 90s basketball promotion, I remember seeing a silhouette of this man and the famous headband lurking in the background. He made the headband and basketball synonymous the way Bill Walton made the bandana and basketball back in the 70s and 80s.

    Those early 90s Blazers teams has already lost Drazen Petrovic, Kevin Duckworth, Jerome Kersey, and now Cliff Robinson...

    I remember bits and pieces of his playing career. Always seemed like a good dude. RIP Cliff. 53 is too young.

    It's so sad to hear that Uncle Cliffy is no more along with the rest of these great players.

    I didn't realize he played until 2007 that is a long NBA career.
