when i saw this game for the first time,i realised how it was possible for a caliber player like robinson,shaq,olajouwon,pippen(and the rest of them,maybe not pippen because he wasn't really a scorer)to score 100 points in a game.it's by watching this game that i realised that a great player can(if he played against a weak team and if they give him all the shots he wants to take) score 100 points.
I give much respect to the LA Clipper Fans!! David Robinson couldn't have won the scoring title without those fans cheering him on! Notice, the fans were cheering for David only at the end of the game. Much love to David Robinson...
@laa1664 theyre all band wagoners cuz when griffin came everybody started liking them and when paul came they atarted talking about winning the nba championship
i think the fact that rodman came to the spurs was the best thing that could happen to david robinson. Rodman took all the rebounds and did the defense, so Robinson could focus on the offense
Weak. The next top scorer on the spurs was Rodman with 8 points. This game meant nothing and the whole offense was run through Robinson. And it was against the Clippers. He would have to have had a nightmare to have got less than 50 in those circumstances.
Something the casual youtuber might not know about this game - Shaq and Robinson were going back and forth all year for the scoring title. Finally, it looked like Shaq pulled away at the end. The Spurs had other ideas though. The Admiral took 41 FGAs and 25 FTAs in this game and David Robinson scored 71 on the last day of the season and beat Shaq by 0.1 ppg to win his first scoring title and deny Shaq his first scoring title.
Seriously, it may be true that there are no great centers anymore, but if you look at Dwight who is considered the best, the Admiral is better in my book. Dwight gets to play Bogut, Noah, Bynum and Kaman, while the Admiral had to face Shaq, Hakeem, Ewing... no comparison, really.
@youngaxmaryland Just an FYI he's listed 7'1 in shoes and he's "only" 7'0 in his bare feet - not 7'2. It's still taller than his peers though, and yes he's a freak athlete!
@badboy77746 Well, it is a big deal that Kobe scored 81 because its the second highest points scored in a game ever. Also other players have scored 71 and more points in one game, like Elgin Baylor(71) and David Thompson(73) and of course Wilt Chamberlain(70,72,73,73,73,78,100).
@TheNBAHistory try scoring 81 ni the 90s. try scoring 71, 69, 61 points in the 90s. By no means it is easy to score 81 points. Kobe is a great player, But 81 against the raptors, MJ would've scored 100 in that game. I am much more impressed at Gilbert Arenas scoring 60 against kobe's defense against the lakers >=)
@TheNBAHistory The one by David Thompson was incredible. I think he had 52 in the first half and hit something like 21 consecutive field goals. He probably could've gone for more than 73, but then again, when The Iceman hit for 63, he did it in 3 quarters(I think), so who knows...?
@TheNBAHistory Not to disrespect but I would say something that contradicts why it's big deal. A big deal is to score numbers bigger than your average ppg. Allowing 71 points like what you're saying that it's not everyday that some scores 71 points (which players can) is the Clippers fault. But wait David Robinson in reality is a good player, so it's a big deal because he averaged 29.8 in that time.
@badboy77746 well, people don't point to 81 as the only evidence that he is the best ever...that is ridiculous. 80 is a scoring mark that was rarely eclipsed, so it was a psychological argument. Also, kobe scored 62 in 3, outscoring the opponent....he scored 45 + in 4 straight games, the first to do that since wilt.....all im saying is that it is an oversimplification to say that people say kobe is the best ONLY bc of 81...
@badboy77746 and... That 71 was in the final game of the spurs in regular season. Robinson must score 69 to tie Shaq in the regular season´s scoring champion. that was sick :)
Well he broke the Icemans Record. Witch btw was the assistant coach of the spurs that time... Robinson scores 71 Ice back in 78 scored 69 in a memorable battle to nba MVP againast David Thompson..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
See Carmelo score 42 against the celtics in Game 2 of the 2011 playoffs. So what? Knicks suck as a team they were contented to just enter the playoffs with no championship mindset, i mean every team that enters the playoffs has 1 goal=hold the larry o bryan trophy. But the knicks don share that mindset btw their defense suck
@zSolitary wtf?where the fuck are you from? Turkey? thats how you sound to me, on the internet. Learn to write with a voicedumbass, and the knicks actually had a lot of energy. What you said absolutely has no vindication because Carmelo was a one man show. He was the only one who could carry the team, and he did a pretty damn good job. You obviously don't watch or play basketball that often to truly comprehend the game. You idiot, every time wants more than playoffs, only an idiot would say this
PPG do matter but its the effect it has on the team, i mean no point scoring so many if ya gonna lose though. Hakeem was better then david just look at his achievements compared to robinson. And if you want to talk about a player who dosen't score alot yet contribute, Kurt Thomas.
@NothingButSwishes you understand hakeem shut down david in that series...but you're ignoring it? no one is knocking robinson. he's a legend.but hakeem led houston to the title twice,winning finals mvps both times and destroying robinson in the 95 conference finals.and lets be honest, without tim duncan, david doesn't win a title. timmy was finals mvp both those years. why exactly is robinson better? because he scored more in a game then hakeem? jordan never scored 71.is robinson better then mj?
@NothingButSwishes D-Rob is not better than Hakeem. Usin that 71pt game is retarded cuz its just one game. Its like sayin Kobes better than Jordan cuz he got 81pts in game but Jordan didn't. Hakeem has 2 finals mvps & D-Rob has none. Hakeem is a 2 time DPOY D-Rob got that once. Hakeem is slightly the better defender, slighty at rebs, better passer, stealer, & shotblocker, scorin is around the same but Hakeem has a better skillset. Plus Hakeem rose his level of play in the playoffs unlike D-Rob.
@NothingButSwishes hakeem was a better scorer, a better rebounder, a better blocker and way a better stealer. and shut down David in 95 in a way that nobody can't doubt it.. hakeem lead twice..david just once..in '03 was duncan. Do you need more? jordan said that in a dream team hakeem would be his center.....i understand you're a spurs fan...but C'mon...
@NothingButSwishes He scored 71 points against the Clippers. THE CLIPPERS. And as the person who posted this video said, he was a 2 time champion. And the fact that Hakeem shut him down throughout the whole '95 playoff series should give you a hint who's better. Scoring isn't what makes a person better. If that was the case, Kareem would be better than Michael Jordan.
@NothingButSwishes your argument for robinson being better than the dream is that he won 3 championships, which is false, and that he scored 71 points in one game out of the thousands that he played? you won't even convince a monkey with that kind of logic.
@NothingButSwishes Are you a fucking moron?!?? Because a player has a higher individual scoring game than another, that makes him better? And because you (mistakenly) thought that David had more rings than Olajuwon, that means he's better? That is an ESPN-type analysis if I ever heard one.
@NothingButSwishes "In the 30 head–to–head match-ups during the seven seasons from the 1989 to 1996, when both Olajuwon and Robinson were in their prime, Olajuwon averaged 26.3 points per game, shooting 47.6% from the field, while Robinson averaged 22.1 and 46.8%." - direct from wikipedia. Also, Robinson only has 2 championships.
In any case, two legendary players and it never hurts to compare two of the best.
What a complete farce this was. Fouling your opponent and letting them score just so you can get the ball back and dump it in to David so he can get a scoring title isn't basketball.

okay everyone to clarify my comment above about "who doesnt score 71 points against the clippers" IT WAS A JOKE. im not being serious at all im not trying to hate on david robinson its just funny that it happened to the clippers because the clippers always suck. thats all i was saying i was kidding so stop responding and getting pissed about it
@jnorman975 i understand what you're trying to say and it's kinda funny but it's not really a valid point considering no one else has scored more than 61 against the clippers and only two other players have scored more than 71 points in any game.
what a great athlete and a great guy. as cool as it would be to play in that game, even on the other team, it's gotta suck to have your own fans cheer for the guy who's mopping the floor with you.
This absolutely eye opening. I was never even aware of this game. Thank you for posting this video. Videos like this one help to pass such greatness on through generations so that they learn to appreciate those who played before. Your video post is more important then you know. Future NBA stars may watch this and develop an appreciation for the history of the game. Not just what the game can do for them.
I still have an audio recording of this on tape. Wiki audio cassette if you don't know what a tape is. If this was anyone else in LA, NY, Miami, Chi, or Bos, this would have a thousand comments and over a million views. Oh well.
