Man, as a Pistons fan, it's crazy to hear all the hype behind Andre Drummond of how he's supposed to be the next great big man and everything, then watch a highlight clip like this from Robinson's rookie year. Granted, Robinson was an older rookie due to his Naval service (not to mention after playing four years of college ball) but even then, it seems very apparent that Andre's never going to be in the same area code.

I'm really biased due to being a huge David Robinson fan, but he had such poise, strength, and speed. And he was such a great protector of the rim on top of everything else. Robinson averaged 4 blocks per game his rookie year. Drummond's never averaged 2. Crazy...

Unfortunately for D-Rob, it seems his entire NBA career has been labeled by a six game series against Hakeem.

Too bad too, since he was every bit Hakeem's equal in their 42 other H2H games.

that probably has something to do with itI am assuming your are referencing playoff numbers above, yes? I do not think there are many who'd try to claim Robinson as being a better playoff performer. I certainly do not. But I am uncertain as to what the numbers above have to do with defining Robinson's entire career by a single six-game series, as Lazeruss alluded.

So Robinson was not better than one of the best playoff performers of all-time. But the flak he catches tends to go so far beyond what would seem to be fitting for a man of such skill and on-court accomplishment otherwise. Sometimes it seems guys like Mitch Richmond even get more career respect, simply due to a single series and prominent gif.

Hakeem-Robinson H2H's...

Their 42 regular season H2H's were about as even as could be...except David held a 30-12 W-L record...

daaaamn. best shit blocker of his era.

DRob would destroy current NBA, very underrated player.

DRob would abuse the shit out of the NBA with the current rules. Just surround him with four three point shooters and you have a guaranteed championship.

Care to point out Hakeem's FOUR 50+ point playoff games (THREE of which are the ONLY three must-win 50+ point playoff games in NBA history), or 45 point Finals game (again, in a must-win game)?

Or Hakeem's FIVE 30-20 post-season runs?

Or Hakeem's FOUR playoff series of 37+ ppg scoring, with two at 39 ppg (including one seven game series.)

Or Hakeem's back-to-back TRIPLE DOUBLE post-season SERIES.

Or Hakeem's 14 blocked shots in a Finals game.

Or Hakeem's TWO QUAD DOUBLEs in the post-season (Wilt had two KNOWN, and likely more.)



Or Finals of .600 and .625 shooting? Hell, Wilt's WORST Finals FG% was .500, which equaled Hakeem's BEST.

Or Finals in which he crushed his opposing centers on the glass?

Oh, and find me opposing centers who shot .595 against Wilt in the Finals.

Or a Finals in which Wilt finished FOURTH in rebounding (including being outrebounded by a teammate)?


Oh, and give me all EIGHT First-Round exits that Chamberlain had in his post-season career.

Or find me Hakeem's TEN Conference Finals, and SIX Finals.

Find me a Finals in which Wilt's TEAMMATES collectively shot a MUCH higher TS% than Wilt did (like Hakeem's teammates did to him in his '95 Finals.)

And how about Hakeem against a PRIME Shaq in '99? The Shaq that just annihilated Hakeem in every fact of the game (and yes, in another FIRST ROUND series loss.)

Gotta love the Hakeem-lovers...
