All Right, we'll talk about 36 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.159 that coming up here in the show. We're gonna have 37 00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:29.000 a little bit of fun talking about one of the 38 00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.960 greatest players of all time in the NBA that goes 39 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:35.919 under the radar, and I got a chance to watch 40 00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.240 him as a kid. He was one of my favorite 41 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.599 players of all times in the San Antonio Spurs, if 42 00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:45.240 not my favorite player, David Robinson. We're gonna talk a 43 00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:51.120 little bit about the Admiral David Robinson today. We also 44 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:56.000 got some old clips from his mister Robinson neighborhood Nike commercials. 45 00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.000 The clips are so old though, you can tell that 46 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.960 somebody up to them with a VHS tape when YouTube 47 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:06.080 first opened. Yeah, so you're gonna have to bear with 48 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.639 the sound quality a little bit today, but we're gonna 49 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.280 drop a few of those ads on your mental today. 50 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.599 But speaking of your mental, let's get right in to 51 00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:18.240 your comments on X. 52 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:19.479 What is that? 53 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:28.120 Yeah, that's the sound of Officer KD pulling you over 54 00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:32.919 for some of your outlandish comments. 55 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:40.560 Some good takes, some horrible takes, but nonetheless they are takes, 56 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:43.280 and we are gonna take to X right now, and 57 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.520 we're gonna go to the biggest rumor in the rumor 58 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.879 mill right now here in San Antonio. According to a 59 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:53.080 very good reporter on X, his name is at Spurs reporter. 60 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:59.039 Fantastic reporter, always brings great news. Just drop this. A 61 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.439 little while ago, the rumors are heating up with at 62 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:08.199 John Hollinger saying the Bucks could explore trading Jannis Akapatumbo 63 00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.919 after their first round exit. Now there have been rumors 64 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:14.840 that Dame Lillard wants out. It looks like he may 65 00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:18.279 go to Orlando. The Spurs are one of four teams 66 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.399 he thinks this is John Hollinger could make a serious 67 00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:26.319 offer and get ready centered around Spurs fans ready centered 68 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:35.480 around Stefan Castle and multiple Lotto picks. And this is 69 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:40.040 not Spurs reporter saying this, This is at John Hollinger. 70 00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.319 Let's let's go look up. Let's let's troll John Hollinger. 71 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:48.279 Right now, John Hollinger is a senior NBA columnist ex 72 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:51.720 Grizzlies VP. Okay, that says enough right there, But let's 73 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.800 follow him anyway. Let's keep an eye on John Hollinger. 74 00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:58.319 But John Hollinger thinks that Jannis Akapatumbo is one of 75 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:02.959 the front runners to come to San Antonio. But as 76 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.120 Scooby Doo would say, to give up Steph Cassel, what 77 00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.480 I'm not too sure about this. Let's take a look 78 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.879 at this from a couple different angles. Would Janis get 79 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:17.639 us into the playoffs? Sure? But where's our bench? Are 80 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.759 we able to keep some of our core players? I've 81 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:25.439 seen recent rumors where it would be Keldon Johnson, Visell 82 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:29.600 and Picks. What do you think about that, Spurs? Keldon 83 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.120 Johnson is the heart of this bench. Now that would 84 00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:38.560 move so hand to the bench. That is an interesting move. 85 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:42.399 That could be a possibility. If I had to put 86 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.279 that on a you know, a rating system of one 87 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:50.639 to ten, I'd say eight. I'd go for if it 88 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:56.439 was given up kJ and giving up Vissel. But ah, 89 00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.439 I mean here's where I played Devil's advocate a little 90 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.279 bit with this. All right, I look at this now 91 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.439 from a business standpoint and a future standpoint for the 92 00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:13.560 San Antonio Spurs. If they were to land somebody like Giannis, Okay, 93 00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:19.360 that's a big contract. We still got to sign Deer 94 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:24.360 and Fox to a big contract. By the way, Spurs fans, 95 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:28.800 we bring this up every week, don't we. High Wemby 96 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:32.600 is going into his third year, he has one more 97 00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:37.600 year on his rookie contract. Those are three big contracts. 98 00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:42.199 The Spurs are never been a team to hold huge contracts. 99 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:47.800 I don't think this works for San Antonio. Yes, the 100 00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:50.439 rumors are fun, Yes the rumors are great, But to 101 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:58.399 give up Steph Castle a future all star. He is 102 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:01.720 on the precipice of doing just that. And I'll tell 103 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:05.600 you why. I know the West is heavy with guards, 104 00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.920 but he's set up for the future. Here fifteen points 105 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:15.319 a game, almost four says four rebounds, He hits those 106 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.680 couple free throws, hits a couple three pointers, gets his 107 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:20.759 three point percentage up. This dude is averaging over twenty. 108 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:23.720 We talked about this on the last episode. Go back 109 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.319 and check it out. If we can just keep that 110 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:36.040 core together, Steph Fox, Wemby, the cell kJ sohand. Those 111 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.120 are six guys that I would bet on our future. 112 00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:46.240 I would, but to get somebody like a Yanis here's 113 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:51.600 Devil's advocate. It's tough, ain't it. Would you give Steph 114 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:54.800 Castle up? He's gonna need a big contract in a 115 00:07:54.800 --> 00:08:00.759 couple of years. How many years would Yannis be here? Three? 116 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:06.079 What happens after that lottery picks? We just gave up 117 00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:08.839 a few. One of the hottest rumors in the NBA 118 00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:12.600 right now, Jannis to San Antonio. Now this kind of 119 00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:16.199 reminds me of the Kevin Durant thing as well. I 120 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:19.439 don't think the Spurs need an All Star. I don't 121 00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:22.439 think we need another All Star. We have two right now. 122 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.839 Deer and Fox can make the All Star Game. Wemby 123 00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:29.319 will make the All Star Game. Castle on the verge, 124 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:36.039 Spurs have always had one or two All Stars Tony Parker, 125 00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:39.519 Tim Duncan, Tim Duncan, David Robinson always had one or 126 00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:45.960 two All Stars. We made that work. Stick to the program, right, 127 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:51.519 Continuing to flip through X here on Twitter, I like 128 00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:55.519 to call through the Spans, the Spans. That's what you're called, 129 00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:59.440 the Spans, all right, they're Spurs fans, Spans, all right. 130 00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:02.320 We don't edit anything on this show. I don't go 131 00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:06.240 back and cut this out. I'm human, all right, all right. 132 00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:08.279 But taking a look at some of the other rumor 133 00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:14.639 wills here on X, Josh paradis at Josh eight one 134 00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:18.399 to Zho says the following Spurs fans will likely have 135 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.159 a poor reaction to this, But let's remember how chaotic 136 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.039 last season was. Give him a fair shot, and if 137 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:29.519 he's not working out, we all know coaches are the 138 00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:33.320 first to go well, there's breaking news here in San Antonio, 139 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:38.320 and there's breaking news to ESPN's Sham. We know who 140 00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:41.039 he is. If you're in the basketball community. Breaking news 141 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:45.320 the San Antonio Spurs are hiring assistant Mitch Johnson as 142 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:50.039 the franchise next head coach, sources TELEESPN. Johnson has been 143 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:53.240 an assistant in the Spurs program for a decade. A decade. 144 00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:56.679 Keep that in mind under who Popovich took over his 145 00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.679 interim coach in November and now earns the job. It 146 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:04.240 is Popovich's successor. Spurs fans, what do we think about 147 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:07.759 this rumor, especially on X. It's not a rumor, It's happened. 148 00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:10.960 Let's make it a reality. We made this a rumor 149 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:12.960 at the beginning of the year. We made this a 150 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:18.120 rumor when pop went out last year, we said this 151 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:21.639 would happen. It's reminiscent of what happened with Avery Johnson 152 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:28.240 in Dallas. Don Nelson had health issues, don Nelson went away. 153 00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:32.679 Incomes Avery Johnson. Then it was Avery's job. I think 154 00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:35.279 this is a great way for Popovich to go out. 155 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:40.120 It's not a firing, it's not a retirement party. And 156 00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:43.960 Popovich will always have his hands in the Spurs organization. 157 00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:48.080 He will. He's like the Wizard of Oz. Pay no 158 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:51.399 attention to Popovitch behind the curtain. It's exactly what's going 159 00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:53.919 to happen. He's doing it all year long. He was 160 00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:56.960 the puppet master. Mitch Johnson is a smart coach. He's 161 00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.639 a young coach. The players like him, the players respond 162 00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:03.960 well to him. Where there's some interesting moves as a 163 00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:09.840 coach last year as far as rotations, absolutely, but you 164 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:12.919 couldn't do any better. I couldn't do any better. He 165 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.440 had to make shift lineups at times. We did not 166 00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:19.879 have a healthy roster and a great take from at 167 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:23.919 Josh eight pine ohero on X. First thing he said was, 168 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.919 let's remember how chaotic last season was. It's tough to 169 00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:32.320 lose the legendary coach, tough to lose your franchise player, 170 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:35.879 tough to see some of the pieces not always fully healthy. 171 00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:39.279 So hand was out some games, Vasell was out some games. 172 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:42.159 Remember who led the team in games the old Men 173 00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:46.200 and the crew, Barnes and Paul eighty two games, Julian 174 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:49.240 Champagny all eighty two games. We had a lot of 175 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:53.480 makeshift lineups from time to time. Health will be the 176 00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:56.720 key concern in the offseason for the San Antonio Spurs 177 00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:59.960 most definitely kind of digging through some of these REPLA 178 00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:05.080 flies on X about Mitch Johnson being the next coach 179 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.480 of the San Antonio Spurs. A lot of you guys 180 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:12.279 are ridiculous at Spurs underscore muse and I know you 181 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:14.919 guys do it for clickbait. That's what you do, because 182 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:17.879 you caught us on that as well. And a lot 183 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:22.600 of you guys don't understand, like we just said, the 184 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:25.600 health of this team. Didn't have a healthy team all year, 185 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:29.200 we still won more games than we did the year 186 00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:35.240 before with an interim coach, with half a season of 187 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:38.879 a generational player. I don't know how anybody wouldn't give 188 00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:41.240 Mitch Johnson a chance. The Spurs are going to do 189 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:44.919 just that. They've been a loyal organization to their players 190 00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:49.399 and their fans and their coaches for how long this 191 00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:53.879 man Mitch Johnson as an interim coach for over ten years? 192 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.919 Under who wants just to answer that question real quick? 193 00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:03.679 Under who Greg Popovich? Who else is actually was a coach? 194 00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.840 Underneath Popovich? Becky Hammond, Steve Kerr. The list goes on 195 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:10.279 and on to the break of dawn. Guess what, They're champions. 196 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.440 What makes you think that Mitch couldn't do the same 197 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:18.039 job with the right pieces put in place. Absolutely ridiculous. 198 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.679 Twitter is turning into like the I'm gonna be honest 199 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:26.240 with you, it's worse than Facebook at times. It really is. 200 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:30.279 It is literally the bathroom stall of the Internet. Mike 201 00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:34.799 was here, Mike's a jerk. Hey, Sarah's great at you know, 202 00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:37.720 relationship giving. That's what we'll say, is a family show. 203 00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:40.360 Sarah's phone number is blah blah blah blah blah blah. 204 00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:44.559 That is exactly what Twitter and Facebook are, bathroom stalls 205 00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:46.799 of the Internet. But it's fun going through some of 206 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:48.840 these rumor mills. A lot of you guys, a lot 207 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:51.080 of you Spurs fans, are upset right out about the 208 00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:54.879 Mitch Johnson thing. Some of you guys really want Giannis here, 209 00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:58.000 which is a riot because that doesn't mean you're a fan. 210 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:00.360 You're not a fan because you're not looking looking at 211 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.480 things in the long run. And we're really missing something 212 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:08.159 here with the Mitch Johnson We're missing the fact we're 213 00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:13.240 saying goodbye to a legend and Greg Popovich. Greg Popovich, 214 00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.159 it's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday. It's hard 215 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:21.480 to move on. Greg Popovich is on the Mount Rushmore 216 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:25.279 of coaching. You'd probably say, who do you got Katie 217 00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:34.879 Well my top five Red Aurbach, Phil Jackson, I'd have 218 00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:40.200 to put Popovich up there most absolutely, and the other 219 00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:44.600 two can go all over the place. Pat Riley was 220 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:49.679 a hell of a coach. That leaves an opening for four. 221 00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:53.279 Maybe somebody here in the new generation, like a Steve Kerr. 222 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:56.720 I think if Steve Kerr can win a couple more titles, 223 00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:01.440 he's definitely on that list. But it's hard to surpass 224 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:04.399 somebody like a Red Arbag. It's really hard to pass. 225 00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:09.679 I know Apple's to oranges with today's game in yesterday's game, 226 00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:13.840 but we're not going to see another team win close 227 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:18.320 to ten straight championships or ten championships in twelve years. 228 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:21.320 You're not going to see that ever again. Why because 229 00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:23.519 players want to move too much. Look at Kevin Durant. 230 00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:29.320 I love Kevin Durant, but he gets passed around more 231 00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:33.159 than your high school cheerleaders. Sorry, high school cheerleaders out there, 232 00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:35.600 We love you. Keep doing your job, but you know, 233 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:37.559 sometimes y'all get a bad rep I'm just throwing that 234 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:40.360 out there. Hey, we speak our mind on this show, right. 235 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:44.919 But a lot of news here circulating in San Antonio, 236 00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:48.000 mostly about Giannis we talk about it every week. Who 237 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:51.440 would you really want to see signed here, Spurs fans. 238 00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:58.039 I don't think that we need a big name player here. 239 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:02.720 I believe the players we got we're gonna have to 240 00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:07.960 see kicking into overdrive. I think one more year for Vissell. 241 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:11.360 He's on his last year of his four year contract. 242 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:16.360 So ride that until the wheels fall off. One hundred 243 00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:19.639 and forty million dollar contract. If he doesn't produce, guess what, 244 00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:22.919 he'll probably be out. Guess what happens? That money goes 245 00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:25.000 to somebody like Wenby that needs to be re signed. 246 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:31.600 Keldon Johnson, the heart of the bench, our strong arm 247 00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:36.799 guy with sohand and being a Spurs fan, maybe I'm 248 00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:39.240 being too much of a homer because I like these players. 249 00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:43.759 You know, I liked Zach Collins too. You can laugh 250 00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:46.960 at me on that one. I love Trey Jones. But 251 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:52.039 sometimes we have to make decisions because it is a business. 252 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:55.639 Speaking about business and all business, I just saw something 253 00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:59.240 on X as well. Somebody had put up what top 254 00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:03.399 two players would you take? Are you ready? What Spurs 255 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:06.359 duo would you take? Spurs fans? Would it be CP 256 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:11.079 three and the Admiral David Robinson? Would it be Manu 257 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:15.519 Ginobili and Pau Gasol. Would it be Iceman, George Gervin 258 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:19.039 and Wemby. That is a tantalizing team right there, very long. 259 00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:25.480 And how about Deeron Fox and LaMarcus Aldridge. Which duo 260 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:28.200 are you taking? We want to thank Spurs Muse for 261 00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:30.599 that one. We're going to give that a like as well. 262 00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:33.720 Me personally, it took a minute. Took a minute to 263 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:38.400 look at this. Let's analyze the teams, right, Manu and 264 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:45.079 Paul would be good, but I think they're your fourth team. 265 00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:49.799 I think they would be fourth on this list. Number 266 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:53.880 three on this list i'd have to say is Deeron 267 00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:58.359 Fox and LaMarcus Aldridge. I love d Fox, I liked LA, 268 00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:02.039 but there's it's just something about these next two duos 269 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:08.000 in the top two, Gervin and Wemby. Wemby the generational player, 270 00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:12.480 Wemby being able to shoot from the outside and doing 271 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:17.400 different things with the ball. Iceman was just so eloquent 272 00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:20.839 with the way he played. Then you have CP three 273 00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:25.359 in the Admiral, two of the smartest guys out of 274 00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:28.279 that group of eight. I'd have to say probably the 275 00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:31.920 top two. CP three can still shoot that ball. He 276 00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:34.920 can dribble that ball. I don't think Iceman would be 277 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:38.319 able to handle him in the ball dribbling. I don't 278 00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:41.000 think Iceman would be able to handle his court vision. 279 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:44.160 I know what you're thinking, Well, Wemby on Robinson would dominate? 280 00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:46.039 Would he would? 281 00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:46.160 He? 282 00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:50.720 David Robinson was a man when he came into this league. 283 00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:54.519 Remember that, Spurs fans. He is a man fresh out 284 00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:57.319 of the Navy, twenty four to twenty five years old. 285 00:18:57.359 --> 00:18:59.480 Could you imagine if he came in four years early, 286 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:02.720 we probably wouldn't have the guy that he had. He 287 00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:08.319 was a brick s house man. He just was the muscle, definition, 288 00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:12.480 the size, the quickness. Robinson could shoot from the outside. 289 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:17.960 The Robinson game against the Clippers to sew up the 290 00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:23.240 scoring title against Shack seventy one points. He knocked down 291 00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:27.599 a three. He was knocking down outside shots. He was 292 00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:33.000 doing it all. So no drum roll needed. I'm going 293 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:36.559 with CP three in the Admiral. That's who I'm going with. 294 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:40.440 But in a close race, in a close race with 295 00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:44.680 Iceman and Wemby. And speaking of which, before we get 296 00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:46.680 out of here today, I want to speak about the 297 00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:51.079 Admiral David Robinson right now. To me, one of the 298 00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:54.039 greatest Spurs of all time, if not the greatest Spur. 299 00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:58.319 We had some great ones in our franchise with Girvin, 300 00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:04.720 with Duncan Parker, Ginobli, But something about the aura of 301 00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:08.960 David Robinson, the fact that the Admiral changed San Antonio. 302 00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:12.720 We were an awful team in the late eighties, early 303 00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:17.519 you know, ninety ninety one. Then Robinson comes in and 304 00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:21.480 he just completely changes the game. And David Robinson did 305 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:24.359 it on and off the court. And here's one of 306 00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:28.279 my favorite Nike ad commercials from mister Robinson's neighborhood. 307 00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:35.279 Who could that be? 308 00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:39.039 It's Charles Barkley with Today's word. 309 00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:40.880 Today's word is fine. 310 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:43.359 Tell the boys and girls how you get fined, Charles. 311 00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:45.559 You can get fined for a lot of things like yelling, 312 00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:48.079 arguing and bad mouth and the fishers, but most of 313 00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:50.920 all for fighting. Have you ever been fined Charle? 314 00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:51.440 Never? 315 00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:54.880 Never, no, no, no, no. Charles is a great player, 316 00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:56.599 but he has a lousy memory. 317 00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:00.519 Never one of my favorite commercials with Charles Barkley. At 318 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:04.319 that time, Charles was known for fines. Charles was known 319 00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:06.640 for getting in fights, and here he is on mister 320 00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:09.920 Robinson's neighborhood a nice guy and David Robinson a good 321 00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:15.240 Christian boy raised in the military family and the Admiral Right, 322 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:18.200 David was such a good boy. Ate his wheaties yep, 323 00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:21.920 sometimes not even with milk, just ate him dry, That's 324 00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:24.519 how good he was. But Charles would probably you know, 325 00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:26.599 would have done different with his wheaties. Who would have 326 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:29.440 poured him pound of sugar on it? As the round 327 00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:31.920 mound of rebound which we talked about him last week 328 00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:35.119 on the show as well, one of my favorite favorite 329 00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:38.240 commercials as well, and just another one I want to 330 00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:45.880 throw in there. Check this out today, mister Robinson's going 331 00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:48.839 to talk about his Nike shoes. Mister Robinson likes the 332 00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:49.880 Nike air cushioning. 333 00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:55.000 Mister Robinson really likes the plastic stuff on the side. 334 00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:58.079 Who could that be, mister Robinson, big Tonne you were 335 00:21:58.079 --> 00:21:58.839 in that it's. 336 00:21:58.680 --> 00:21:59.319 For pizza man. 337 00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:02.759 With today's look, Robinson's done talking about his night to shoe. 338 00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:07.200 Robinson likes his nighty shoes, but he loves his lunch. 339 00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:15.079 David Robinson again with those classic mister Robinson's neighborhood ads 340 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:18.519 and kids. If you don't know who you know they're 341 00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:23.359 talking about are referencing there. Mister Rogers neighborhood back in 342 00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:25.559 the day used to be a show on a Chapleau 343 00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:28.240 pet and he was light hearted, old jolly gentlemen. And 344 00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:31.200 that's why David Robinson sounded like this, because everybody thought 345 00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:33.599 he was so good, goody, and then when he got 346 00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.119 in that game, he was dominant. All want to whatever, 347 00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:39.039 lay them up And I really like those shoes. I'm 348 00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:41.799 looking for some d rub shoes again. I too, I 349 00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:44.680 too loved all plastic stuff on that. I really did. 350 00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:47.079 There are some great videos on YouTube. Go check out 351 00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:51.119 mister Robinson with David Robin. Then let's check out his 352 00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:54.480 career stats. David Robinson didn't even play a thousand games. 353 00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:58.759 Can you believe that he didn't even play a thousand games? 354 00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:03.799 Twenty one point again, ten rebounds, almost three assists a game. 355 00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:07.480 And I know what you're saying. There are many players 356 00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.279 today with bigger numbers than that, but Rons is larger 357 00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:14.880 than the stats that loomed over him. Really, he was 358 00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:17.319 a man that shot almost fifty two percent from the field. 359 00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:20.279 Ten time All Star, He's in the Hall of Fame. 360 00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:23.519 He won the scoring Championship in ninety three, ninety four, 361 00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:27.440 rebound champ in ninety ninety one, two time NBA champ. 362 00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:30.920 And what was loved about David Robinson was it took 363 00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:34.720 him so long to get his first title. First time 364 00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:40.240 to get his NBA title nineteen ninety nine, he looked 365 00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:42.880 like one of these players in sports that would never 366 00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:47.039 get a ring. You're Dan Marino's of the world and 367 00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:49.039 you were like, ah, he's a great player, but he 368 00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:54.160 never won the big run Charles Barklay. But David Robinson 369 00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:59.400 when Duncan got here, man, wasn't that legendary too. When 370 00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:01.799 they were able to win a title in three, you 371 00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:05.200 didn't think Robinson would win another one because at that 372 00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:07.960 time in his life he was almost ten years in. 373 00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:11.960 And what I love about Robinson is he didn't stay 374 00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:13.680 in the game. To stay in the game. He got 375 00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:17.160 that second title and he was done. I love the 376 00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:20.440 Sports Illustrated photo two of him and Robinson, I mean 377 00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:22.880 him and them, Duncan on the front was one of 378 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.720 the legendary Sports Illustrated photos. David Robinson also an eight 379 00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:30.839 time All Defensive Player of the Year, eighty nine, ninety 380 00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:33.400 Rookie of the Year, Our first Rookie of the Year. 381 00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:37.000 Alvin Robinson many years ago when we drafted him, was 382 00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:40.960 runner up as Rookie of the Year ninety four ninety five, 383 00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:43.799 he was the league MVP. He is a part of 384 00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:48.640 the seventy fifth Anniversary team two thousand, two thousand and 385 00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:53.000 one Sportsmen of the Year, ninety one, ninety two, Defensive 386 00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:56.640 Player of the Year, All Rookie Team in eighty nine 387 00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:00.039 ninety as we mentioned, ten time All Star and and 388 00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:02.119 he also led the league in blocks in ninety one 389 00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:06.720 ninety two. What an amazing year, What an amazing run 390 00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:10.799 for the Admiral David Robinson. And let's give that man 391 00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:14.440 a huge round of applause and a salute to David Robinson. 392 00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:17.440 If it wasn't for David Robinson, the San Antonio Spurs 393 00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:20.279 would probably not be one of the elite teams in 394 00:25:20.359 --> 00:25:23.160 the NBA. But guess what, they're on their way to 395 00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:26.400 being one of the elite teams in the NBA. Once again. 396 00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:29.559 We had fun with you guys today with the rumor mill. 397 00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:31.680 We had fun with you guys on X. We'll do 398 00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:34.519 it again. And I don't mean like on X if 399 00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:36.319 you know what I mean, not the drug I mean 400 00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:38.799 on the website before we get fined for that. But 401 00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:40.680
