There is sure to be some overlap with the "fucks given" post, but this does not exclude people who cared.

For example, David Robinson worked his ass off, is one of the best players of his generation and a champion, and he STILL didn't reach his full potential as a player. He was more more gifted than Olajuwan, yet we don't hold the two in the same regard because The Admiral didn't maximize his potential.

Guys who don't "maintain killer instinct" aren't
able to do so because of distractions and/or because
they don't care about being great more than they
do X or Y

Guys who can't maintain motivation can't do so
because they don't care

actually, now that I think about it, he cared more about the way he was perceived than the actual game. He wanted to win because it reflected well on him, not because he NEEDED to win.

David Robinson was a great player who didn't win a title at his physical peak because he played in a stacked NBA full of phenomenal centers.

Including some, like Hakeem, who at their respective bests, he wasn't as good as.

If David Robinson's an underachiever there aren't too many people in this life who aren't underachievers.

i still blame hip-hop.

but he couldn't turn it on in the playoffs like Hakeem could = lack of killer instinct

Should have been better. All the tools to be better, and was as good if not better in the regular season.

D-Rob didn't have most of his prime.

Funny how Hakeem only "turned it own" for two seasons in his 30's

Robinson's stats declined in the'offs. Olajuan's improved...significantly.

isn't potential defined by the combination of working really hard + your natural gifts?

unless you're arguing Robinson worked his ass off at the wrong things, like trying to add a 3 point shot or something?

nobody ever says Robinson was a bum. We all acknowledge Robinson is a hall of famer. Hakeem is/was just better.

Admiral prolly top 25-30 all time.

Unless your measuring them on the GOAT Center ladder, then they might be closer
