    David Robinson seems like a class act, but he does not seem to have much desire for the game of basketball. Even when he pumps his fist during games it doesnt look emotional or even real. Thats why he is retiring sooner than other players did (Hakeem Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing, Michael Jordan, etc.) those guys had a love for this game and didnt stop even when they maybe should have. I dont know if Robinson is wimp, but he certainly lacks the heart great players have.

    yeah...but they were still the victors of the real season...the playoffs...who the hell cares if there weren't 82 games in the regular season? particularly rockets fans who saw their team win from the 6th seed in 95.

    While I'm not a Spurs fan, I don't think anyone should put an asterisk to their championship. They won it fair and square in the playoffs. All the other 15 playoffs teams had a chance but couldn't win. And it's not like they sneaked into the playoffs simply because the season was short.

    It's just like when people put an asterisk to the Rockets' two championships by citing Jordan's absence. We won it, fair and square. What more do you want?

    Robinson is THE franchise in San Antonio, even with Timmy taking over. I agree, class act all the way. I hear a future mayor of San Antonio...

    Oh yeah. I forgot that, except for San Antonio, all other 28 teams in the league had to play all 82 games, right? :rolleyes:

    Wasn't Robinson a virgin when he got married? Heck, there's reason #1 that he's a wimp right there...

    Has A.C. Green gotten laid yet?

    That is one of the most ignorant takes I've ever read...but it does explain those freakish forearms.
