"David Robinson is the most underrated player of all time"
Thu Feb-14-13 09:31 AM by AnonymousCoward

  

          

When he was playing, I always thought of a 2nd tier superstar, on par with Zeke and slightly above Drexler. You never see him mentioned on anyone's top-10 list, and rarely anyone's top-20. However, when you look at the stats, it becomes evident that,of his contemporaries only Jordan was CLEARLY better. You can make an argument for Hakeem, ,but it's just that...an argument.

The Admiral's resume includes:

10 Time All-star
Rookie of The Year
1 MVP
1 DPOY
All NBA, 1st team x4, 2nd team x3, 3rd team x4
Scoring title
4th Highest career PER
10th Highest career WS
The highest single season PER of any player not named Wilt, MJ or LeBron

The Admiral was better than Stockton, Malone, Barkley, Kobe, KG and possibly even Duncan.

Feb 14th 2013

He could beat 90% of the centers in the NBA off the dribble

Feb 14th 2013

I always thought Robinson was over the hill for that 1st ring
Feb 14th 2013
12
He was basically Rupaul status in '99 and Chandler in '03
Feb 14th 2013

The thing is, Duncan's legacy would probably be a lot different if he...

Unlike Bean being carried on Shaq's back, riiiiiiiight.

Feb 15th 2013

more like Elmo saved him & gave him a chance to win rings
Feb 14th 2013

Robinson was already a first ballot HOF'er when Timmy got there
Feb 14th 2013
19
      sure, also on the downside of his career & never woulda sniffed a ring
Feb 14th 2013
24
Before Tim Duncan came the views on the Admiral were totally diff

Feb 14th 2013

Feb 14th 2013

Barkley didn't eat anybody's food...unless you mean that literally
Feb 14th 2013

      who was olajuwon's best teammate his first 8 seasons?
Feb 15th 2013
109
           Ralph Sampson
Feb 15th 2013
112
Mail Man had the best physique
Feb 15th 2013
118
Dream was clearly better. Not an argument. Just the truth.
Feb 14th 2013
10
Dream sonned him in one 6 game series. ONE
Feb 14th 2013
15
Dream was so good he's still guru to today's best
Feb 14th 2013
22
eh, so Dream is a master technician and teacher
Feb 14th 2013
26
      he taught the Kobester
Feb 14th 2013

The only time they ever played in the playoffs.
Feb 14th 2013

I'm a Knicks fan. Robinson was better
Feb 14th 2013
18
definitely just you
Feb 14th 2013
17
Dream clowned the admiral
Feb 14th 2013
20
logical fallacy only applied in basketball
Feb 14th 2013
23
      did he ever son BHop?
Feb 15th 2013
111
D-Rob just never had the "clutch" gene in him
Feb 14th 2013
51
i agree but i would say
Feb 14th 2013
56
the term underrated is so overrated
Feb 14th 2013
21
Plus he had one of the greatest video games EVER!

They musta forgot(c)rjj
Feb 14th 2013

Arenas has a 60 point game against Kobe, DRob clowned on Bo Outlaw
Feb 14th 2013

On the Olajuwon thing:

Feb 14th 2013

           When they played in the Finals what happened?
Feb 14th 2013
39
                Dirk Shined. Lebron Choked
Feb 14th 2013
63
                     ^Real talk.....Dirk/LBJ didn't guard each other
Feb 14th 2013
95
I thought you were making a case for him being underrated
Feb 14th 2013
40
Kevin Mchale and Robert Parrish might not agree
Feb 14th 2013
41
abolutely false.
Feb 14th 2013
42
I'd say 3 is false as well
Feb 14th 2013
43
yeah, DRob wasn't better than Chuck.
Feb 14th 2013
44
Dream was not consumed with basketball...
Feb 14th 2013
52
I would take Malone over Robinson every damn day

           That could be said of most of those guys
Feb 14th 2013
103
                Barkley>Mail Man > Admiral
Feb 14th 2013
104
                     F>F>C?
Feb 15th 2013
113
                     Just player to player, otherwise
Feb 15th 2013
117
                     That was my order for years but I was blinded by emotion
Feb 15th 2013
121
I'd say he's pretty perfectly rated.
Feb 14th 2013
46
I agree.
Feb 14th 2013
53
Pretty much...
Feb 14th 2013
58
agreed.
Feb 14th 2013
60
I mean among centers but overall I think he is a tad overlooked
Feb 15th 2013
122
KG is pretty much the modern day Admiral
Feb 14th 2013
50
If KG has started his career on the same team with the Admiral like...
Feb 14th 2013
91
      I didn't say otherwise but Elmo actually has the chips to show for it
Feb 14th 2013
94
      KG would probably still have 1 ring so not really.
Feb 15th 2013
119
      only way KG status=TD is by goin out in a hail of bullets like Pac & BIG
Feb 15th 2013
120
not sure he's underrated..... he's ranked about where he should be
Feb 14th 2013
54
lulz@ Russell
Feb 14th 2013
57
Dawg....you one of them? Lol
Feb 14th 2013
61
here's the thing about Russell...
Feb 14th 2013
67
      My dad and uncles saw him play.
Feb 14th 2013
71
      Meh. Old people think everything was better back in their day.
Feb 14th 2013
73
      you didn't have to see the earth created to know it was great
Feb 14th 2013
85
           THANK U b/w uh, yeah, my dad saw both those guys play. A lot
Feb 15th 2013
123
c'mon son
Feb 14th 2013
62
right, exactly
Feb 15th 2013
124
He's in the top 10 of C's all time though right?
Feb 14th 2013
59
Why are we so certain that Shaq was better?
Feb 14th 2013
66
      shaq was better than duncan, duncan was better than 50
Feb 14th 2013
68
      Prime Shaq, no question.....post/pre 3peat Shaq hell naw
Feb 14th 2013
99
           shaq turned the corner on him before the threepeat
Feb 15th 2013
128
                '99 was the year Elmo ended Shaq reign as the best big in the game
Feb 15th 2013
130
      Even without rings and teammates, Shaq eats David's lunch.
Feb 14th 2013
69
      Shaq in his prime
Feb 14th 2013
70
      Shaq's prime was the weakest era for the center position
Feb 14th 2013
74
           I'd argue
Feb 14th 2013
77
           You might not know but he was, by a fairly wide margin.
Feb 14th 2013
79
           What did Shaq do better than Robinson?
Feb 14th 2013
82
                Dominate.
Feb 14th 2013
84
                oh so we back to technique now. in which case Hakeem>>>David
Feb 14th 2013
86
                Being a technician doesn't matter and niether do rings!
Feb 14th 2013
88
                Give credit when credit is due
Feb 14th 2013
100
           Psst... Jordan dominated that era of great centers.
Feb 14th 2013
81
      Dude unless Right Today you have a flattop & a bushy mustache...
Feb 14th 2013
72
      Well first, that was just a list of the 10, not my rankings.
Feb 14th 2013
75
      Shaq better, BUT when you consider competition and teammates
Feb 14th 2013
78
           not really.
Feb 14th 2013
80
           It's not really close. You haven't presented much of a case either.
Feb 14th 2013
83
           eh, it's not close enough to call close, shaq was CLEARLY better
Feb 15th 2013
126
      Come on man, Robinson NEVER dominated like Shaq
Feb 14th 2013
93
I'd Take Ewing over Robinson All Day
Feb 14th 2013
64
Why's that?
Feb 14th 2013
65
      I'm gonna say it starts with him being a Knick fan
Feb 14th 2013
87
           I want to give him a fair chance
Feb 14th 2013
92
                Honestly, David Robinson Couldn't Handle NY IMO
Feb 14th 2013
102
                     I guess we are going to have
Feb 15th 2013

Feb 14th 2013
105
An all time great defender vs a guy who barely avg 1 block/game?
Feb 15th 2013
114
He is definitely underrated, I dunno about most underrated
Feb 14th 2013
89
Here's where the 'ring' argument is relevant.
Feb 15th 2013
106
*Dream shakes all over this post*
Feb 15th 2013
107
Hakeem better
Feb 15th 2013
108
hakeem was better in every way, talent, career, accomplishment
Feb 15th 2013
125
      Statistically, they're very similar.
Feb 15th 2013
127
           right, on paper they produce evenly across categories and ...
Feb 15th 2013
129
                Horry was a beast and their outside shooter were money in the bank
Feb 15th 2013
131
Actually that would be Moses Malone
Feb 18th 2013
132
He had a scoring title?
Feb 18th 2013
133
He got Shaq beat w/ 71 at the last game of the season
Feb 18th 2013
134
5 people in NBA history won MVP & DPOY, D-Rob, MJ, Dream, KG, Giannis...
Apr 21st 2022
135
Underrated, yes. But I still think this title goes to Kareem
