David Robinson Biography

David Robinson is considered to be one of the greatest players in the history of the NBA.  Prior to his career in the NBA he was a cadet at the United States Naval Academy, which is where he earned his nickname “The Admiral”.  During his final two seasons at the Naval Academy he won the Naismith and Wooden Awards as the top collegiate player in the country and also earned consensus All-American honors.  In 1987 the San Antonio Spurs selected him with the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft.  After fulfilling his two-year service commitment in the Navy he joined the Spurs and began what would be a Hall of Fame career.  After two years of working full-time as a Civil Engineer Robinson stepped back into the fold and dominated, earning NBA Rookie of the Year honors in 1990.  Over the next 15 seasons he led the Spurs to NBA Championships in 1999 and 2003, earned 10 NBA All-Star nods, was named the 1995 NBA MVP, and earned NBA Defensive Player of the Year honors in 1992.  He also served his country again in the Olympics as a member of the famed Team USA Dream Team.  In 1988 he led the USA to a bronze medal and then won consecutive gold medals at the 1992 and 1996 Olympic games in Barcelona and Atlanta.  Robinson was inducted into the Hall of Fame as a member of both the Spurs and the Dream Team, and is widely considered to be the greatest big man to ever play the game of basketball.
