Yeah, Jordan got blocked from time to time, had the ball stolen, did turnovers, made bad shots from time to time. But SO WHAT? What he has done made him THE GREATEST PLAYER EVER TO PLAY THE GAME!!! lebron and kobe generation should get this into their heads... There WONT BE ANY OTHER PLAYER as big as JORDAN!
Robinson, Olajuwon, Shaq, Ewing, Eaton, Mutombo, Mourning, Manute, Nance, Rollins, etc... MJ's era was incredibly stacked w/ great shot blocking big men. None of which played for his team.
@jdls12 Than you really don't know MJ dog, that's really the way he was on the court. His HOF speech obviously was'nt the most emotional, passionate or tearful speech, not by a long shot. You might not agree with all of MJ tactics, but one thing i'll say, he does'nt B.S or lie when it comes to being on the court, he really means exactly what he says. And yes the "ADMIRAL" had a more moving speech than MJ's, but MJ's speech was what he was about on the court, plain and simple.
wow, i seven footer blocked jordan who is a half a foot shorter than him, mazal tov. what is actually cool about the video is how easily jordan flies past his initial defender.
@LakerGold24 If I was a nerd why would I even bother watching this video? Think Laker fan think? Also btw the Heats and the Mavericks are much more skilled than the Lakers.
@thetruthis9 If this was your first time seeing this comment. Then you will probably see a 100 times more in the future. That's how uncreative people are these days. -.-
@MrArsenalist clearly not one, you are allowed to jump straight up into their air with both arms extended as long as you do not bring your arms in a downward motion, the Admiral did just that.
question. how come on any and every Robinson video there is a there is a god damn troll talking about olajuwon and/or shaq? this video has absolutly nothing to do with either of them. stop being trolls if you want to talk about either of them go to one of there videos. give respect to the admiral. hes one of the best centers to ever play.
@DeekF1 i did actually. i should have said to you, let me know if you ever picked up a ball and played at a good school...because if i had, you wouldn't have responded.
@DeekF1 out jumped? lol jordan had a full run and jump. robinson jumped flat footed. you need to actually pick up a ball and try it. also...how high to you want robinson to jump? you blocked the ball... some of you posters on youtube need to try playing and less posting.
@Anakin53Padme I believe he did. MJ got blocked quite a few times. More often than not he landed them squarely. The difference in this case is that Robinson was a pretty damn good athlete in his own right.
Magic Johnson said that during the 1992 dream team scrimmage MJ mad a 360 jam over robinson with amazing hang time. He said it was the best shot he ever wittnessed
@everomarsanchez awesome?! godlike i would say. I never saw MJ doing 360 in a game over any center in addition if we consider his sick hang time.......then its hard to imagine that play
@everomarsanchez awesome?! godlike i would say. I never saw MJ doing 360 in a game over any center in addition if we consider his sick hang time.......then its hard to imagine that play
we in san antonio were blessed and still are blessed to have MR ROBINSON here in san antonio. He is a great man outside of basketball. He contributes day in and day out.
Hakeem Olauwon is the best post play big man ever. He's also the best shot blocker ever. The admiral is not on level with Kareem (best overall big man ever), Wilt, Olajuwon, Shaq. He's the next best center man though.
@Freshestplaya1 hahaha kobe will never be as good as jordan... jordan better scorer.. and waaaay better mentally than everyone hee faced... for that jordan is considered a basketball god in human body... kobe is great, but is not invincible as jordan
Both players if you pause it at :11, are elbow length above the rim. That means, anyone you name today would have gotten their dunk blocked on this possession. David was very athletic back in the day. This year he averaged 5blks per game. Nobody is doing that now days.
@rcortez911 Well if you wanna get technical yeah it does. Robinson is 7ft. Jordan is 6'6". That's a difference of 6 inches. Robinson SHOULDA blocked him.
Robinson really needed this block on Jordan because the poor guy was posterized every game prior to this one. By the way both players were pioneers on the modern game so it is only natural they were this competitive!
Robinson really needed this block on Jordan because he was absolutely posterized every game prior to this one! By the way I like both players and think they were part of the reason the game is the way it is today.
@alex9374 actually Jordan always had a hard time against Robinson due to his quickness and how explosive he was. Robinson was the quickest center during the 90's. dont believe me then look up the video Robinson blocks Jordan 8 times in 1 game. Just because he was Jordan it doesnt mean he owned every one every time they met.
@SAtownZ28 That file that he blocked him 8 times in one game is a great game for Robinson, but it would take me all day to refer you to all the videos of Jordan dunking on Robinson or stealing the ball from Robinson or blocking Robinson, so yeah, I think that comment that Robinson really needed this block was spot on...but that is just my take on things...too bad all we have to watch now is highly paid unproven hacks that only play part of the season! lol
@alex9374 im not trying to take anything away from Jordan because yea simples he is the GOAT, but really just that my uncle and cousin who have been season ticket holders since gervin played for the spurs told me that Jordan always had a hard time with robinson. robinson didnt always block jordan but would disrupt his shot alot because you never new which direction Robinson might possible come flying thru the air from.
Yeah SATownZ28....Good point. They also had the same problems with Olajuwon who also recorded 8 blocks in a game vs. them. Robinson and Olajuwon were different to the traditional Centers like Ewing, Zo Daugherty that they routinely put on the highlight reel back East. They were both had great agility and versatility on offence and defence. They were exceptional help defenders, shotblockers-alterers and great at getting steals.
@Nickthegemini09 Yeah I noticed that to. Robinson was actually 7foot1 and look how high Jordan gets compared to robinson who appears to be jumping as high as he can from a stand still. It's crazy. Jordan could really fly.
@Nickthegemini09 Pretty impressive. In Robinson's defense, however, he's jumping more flat footed. Jordan has much more take off room and Robinson has to react more quickly in order to get this block.
@Nickthegemini09 how is that, "amazing"? jordan is coming from a full run and jump - robinson turned and jumped straight up. ever play basketball before? lol
@Nickthegemini09 i just don't get this comment. it's not about jordan jumping SO high. it's about timing. so his hand was above robinson's... so. robinson timed his jump to block the ball - not to jump as high as possible.
if your playing in the NBA and doing as well as MJ did it doesnt matter what city u play for ur gonna get media attention and pobably make that city a lot bigger
@hokiedude789 ur right houston isn't a small city But for some odd reason they re always neglected by the league and media attention. This year the rockets got 0 televised games even tho they are above .500 team
@cirexlab Agreed. I love Shaq but his all around game isn't as good as the rest of them. For his size he should have outrebounded everyone and he was one of the worst free throw shooters ever. He didn't have much of a game further than ten feet from the goal. Hakeem was an incredible defender. Centers should never have the number of steals he does. Same thing for Robinson, he had a game that was not limited to the paint and he didn't get a chance to play for a few years of his prime.
@cirexlab just remember that chamberlain didint have any great competition just bill russell.... and also they didnt had the 3 seconds rule ... so that's why I think that chamberlaiin shouldnt be the number one.. must be in the first 5 but not the best... imagine shaq olajuwon robinson or ewing without facing each other and without 3 seconds rule! i think shaq is the most dominant in th history... look what he did wit the rule and with the best competition like hakeem and david
@AFTepes no one has come close to chamberlain scoring record of 50 ppg, he has the 2 highest fg% in a season, and averaged a career rpg of about 22. They didn't count blocks when he played but if they did chamberlain and russel would be in the top 3. I have to put him in a tie with kareem as the best center of all time. He in my opinion was the most dominant player of all time.
@dwade3forMVP AGAIN! chamberlain and russell DIDNT HAVE THE 3 SECONDS INSIDE THE PAINT rule so he could be in the paint anytime they wanted to besides without other real competition just russell... so its unfair... hakeem david and shaq..they had each other as competition and also ewing,etc... and also the 3 secs rule in the paint...they should be outside far from the ring... if u erase that rule in the 90's who do you think will crash the nba? i think shaq would be more ferocious than wilt
@cirexlab there are tapes of chamberlain playing and actually they werent as bad as some people might think, including me, they were actually pretty good then here
@IMStr8throwed you to take account them in there primes, there 2 different players. David could play any style and his biggest thing was out hustling other centers which is actually why he did well against shaq even after the injury. Shaq poses more of a threat from the half court point of view. David played the biggest part in the spurs beating the lakers. He guarded shaq and forced shaq to have to play hard on defense aswell. I would take the admiral in his prime aswell.
@Kdaddy61987 you're wrong, Shaq dominated Robinson as well as any other big he's faced. Let's get things straight, Duncan played the biggest part in beating the Lakers, not Robinson...If you want to get into head to head stats, we can do that, Robinson was never a match for Shaquille O'neal.
@IMStr8throwed how can you say shaq dominated when they had the same specs, when both came into the league automatically the there teams started contending for a title. Both centers dominated by akeem, both of them mvps. Also david robinson has scored more pts in a game, 71, hes 1 of 4 players to record a quatriple double and to add shaq had a far better team. I mean the spurs 2nd best player fo the admiral was dominque at the end of his career. Also when shaw first got to la the couldnt win.
@IMStr8throwed also im talking about in there primes, i mean come on kobe and shaq in there primes lose to duncan whos in his prime and when manu was starting to come into his own and robinson only played 1 more year after they beat the lakers. Obviously shaq was better at that point but im talking about them in there best 2-3 years of there career who would you take? Like if grant hill never got hurt how good you think he be? Or if dirk and steve stayed together in there primes? Hypotheitcals
@Kdaddy61987 they've played each other, with both being in their primes before with Shaq dominating. It's not like Robinson's 35 and Shaq's 19...It's pretty obvious you didn't watch when Shaq played for the Magic and Robinson was scoring 70 for the Spurs...Robinson didn't get hurt til he got older for the Spurs and Shaq destroyed him even then and before then.
@IMStr8throwed that was different, i saw 1 game and shaq dominated david but that doesnt mean that shaq was better. You dont know the circumstances. Could of been on the road and had 3 games in 5 nights or 4 games in 7. Like when the spurs lost both season games to the cavs the year they met in the playoffs. We all know how that went, got to give teams the ability to ajust and change philosophy and the way there apporaching a team. Shaq was a monster but i would take the admiral in his prime.
@Kdaddy61987 You don't know the circumstances either. When Shaq came in as a rookie, they couldn't believe how great he was and how bad he made David Robinson look. Because Robinson was great when he had the size and athleticism, but Shaq was even bigger and even a greater athlete. Let's get things straight, Tim Duncan was the best player on the planet, that's why Robinson got his ring. Admiral's post game in the paint wasn't nearly as good as Shaq, nor did you see Olajuwon abuse Shaq either
@IMStr8throwed i acutally saw akeem destroy shaq,ewing and robinson but to me akeem was the best player to ever play the game so well keep him out of the conversation. Also who was named mvp early in there career? Oh thats right robinson was mvp not shaq, also shaqs team was alot better the davids. Also note 1992-93 season david won both games against the magic and averaged 26.5 pts and 11.5 rebounds. The 93-94 season david won both games again and averaged 29.5pts and 12 rebounds a game vs shaq
@Kdaddy61987 Shaq and Olajuwon was always an even matchup....Oh numbers now?....how about you put up Shaq's numbers as well... Shaq had a better team? you're nuts, admit it, you hate Shaq. A young Kobe was better than Tim Duncan in his prime is that what you're saying?
@IMStr8throwed not sure what your getting at and yeah i think dennis scott was a better version of sean elliot and horace grat was a solid pf and penny at the time was going to be a sure hof. Shaq also had scott skiles for a little bit who was a little overrated but still better then avery johson. Also i just went to nba.com looked up david robinson game log so you havent done your research. I remember shaq being a monster too but i also remember how well rounded david was so yes david still bet
@IMStr8throwed Akeem made shaq look silly which in tern shaq said he wanted to be as good as akeem one day after the magic lost to them in the finals. Its a nba.tv commercial now. Also i like shaq but the bread is in the pudding, you can see the different problems each cneter brings and what they bring to the table. Shaq was the worst ft shooter of the bunch and had no great moves outside of 10 feet. top 5 centers of all time to me 1-akeem 2-robinson 3-shaq 4-ewing 5-wilt
@blockburner1 i would have akeem 5 or 6 as best ever. I kind of look at his play and say thats amazing but he struggled when he had to be the man sometimes. He played with oscar robinson and when he went to la they struggled till they got magic, when ewing,robinson,akeem and shaq all came to there team they instantly became teams competing for a title. Ewing struggled the first few years but i got to see him play more, most of jabbars game ive seen is when hes older so i dont have the best view
olajuwon and robinson are the 2 best centers of all time,chamberlain was good but he played against way shorter centers thats why he dominated that much =)
@oneman91 thank you. People always say shaq would just own Robinson but they only look at and compare his last 3 years in the NBA. Thats when he was having Back Spasms.
Can you imagine how great Robinson's career woulda been if: 1) He hadn't spent 6 years in college all 4 years then 2 in the NAVY 2) He hadn't hurt his back during his prime 3) He didn't have to defer to Tim Duncan for the last 5 years of his career. He still retired with 21 ppg 10.5 rpg 3 bpg 2.5 asp 1.5 spg 29th points 29th rebounds 5th blocks 4th PER That's pretty good for having your career cut short. Just Saying.

@alex9374 im not trying to take anything away from Jordan because yea simples he is the GOAT, but really just that my uncle and cousin who have been season ticket holders since gervin played for the spurs told me that Jordan always had a hard time with robinson. robinson didnt always block jordan but would disrupt his shot alot because you never new which direction Robinson might possible come flying thru the air from.
SAtownZ28 1 year ago
Yeah SATownZ28....Good point. They also had the same problems with Olajuwon who also recorded 8 blocks in a game vs. them. Robinson and Olajuwon were different to the traditional Centers like Ewing, Zo Daugherty that they routinely put on the highlight reel back East. They were both had great agility and versatility on offence and defence. They were exceptional help defenders, shotblockers-alterers and great at getting steals.

@Nickthegemini09 Yeah I noticed that to. Robinson was actually 7foot1 and look how high Jordan gets compared to robinson who appears to be jumping as high as he can from a stand still. It's crazy. Jordan could really fly.
nimaside 1 year ago
@Nickthegemini09 Pretty impressive. In Robinson's defense, however, he's jumping more flat footed. Jordan has much more take off room and Robinson has to react more quickly in order to get this block.

@Nickthegemini09 i just don't get this comment. it's not about jordan jumping SO high. it's about timing. so his hand was above robinson's... so. robinson timed his jump to block the ball - not to jump as high as possible.

i ouls say chamberlain but it was the early nba no real matches.. for me
1. olajuwon
2. robinson
3. shaq
if you let me choose my center in my team, robinson will be my pick i love his style of playing
cirexlab 2 years ago 4
@cirexlab id probly choose them over shaq as well.............more versatile, athletic, range......and had real Pride in the defense.........
Ryzon28 1 year ago
@cirexlab Agreed. I love Shaq but his all around game isn't as good as the rest of them. For his size he should have outrebounded everyone and he was one of the worst free throw shooters ever. He didn't have much of a game further than ten feet from the goal. Hakeem was an incredible defender. Centers should never have the number of steals he does. Same thing for Robinson, he had a game that was not limited to the paint and he didn't get a chance to play for a few years of his prime.
jeditwinz 1 year ago
@cirexlab just remember that chamberlain didint have any great competition just bill russell.... and also they didnt had the 3 seconds rule ... so that's why I think that chamberlaiin shouldnt be the number one.. must be in the first 5 but not the best... imagine shaq olajuwon robinson or ewing without facing each other and without 3 seconds rule! i think shaq is the most dominant in th history... look what he did wit the rule and with the best competition like hakeem and david
AFTepes 1 year ago
@AFTepes no one has come close to chamberlain scoring record of 50 ppg, he has the 2 highest fg% in a season, and averaged a career rpg of about 22. They didn't count blocks when he played but if they did chamberlain and russel would be in the top 3. I have to put him in a tie with kareem as the best center of all time. He in my opinion was the most dominant player of all time.
dwade3forMVP 1 year ago
@dwade3forMVP AGAIN! chamberlain and russell DIDNT HAVE THE 3 SECONDS INSIDE THE PAINT rule so he could be in the paint anytime they wanted to besides without other real competition just russell... so its unfair... hakeem david and shaq..they had each other as competition and also ewing,etc... and also the 3 secs rule in the paint...they should be outside far from the ring... if u erase that rule in the 90's who do you think will crash the nba? i think shaq would be more ferocious than wilt

IMStr8throwed 1 year ago
@IMStr8throwed you to take account them in there primes, there 2 different players. David could play any style and his biggest thing was out hustling other centers which is actually why he did well against shaq even after the injury. Shaq poses more of a threat from the half court point of view. David played the biggest part in the spurs beating the lakers. He guarded shaq and forced shaq to have to play hard on defense aswell. I would take the admiral in his prime aswell.
Kdaddy61987 1 year ago
@Kdaddy61987 you're wrong, Shaq dominated Robinson as well as any other big he's faced. Let's get things straight, Duncan played the biggest part in beating the Lakers, not Robinson...If you want to get into head to head stats, we can do that, Robinson was never a match for Shaquille O'neal.
IMStr8throwed 1 year ago
@IMStr8throwed how can you say shaq dominated when they had the same specs, when both came into the league automatically the there teams started contending for a title. Both centers dominated by akeem, both of them mvps. Also david robinson has scored more pts in a game, 71, hes 1 of 4 players to record a quatriple double and to add shaq had a far better team. I mean the spurs 2nd best player fo the admiral was dominque at the end of his career. Also when shaw first got to la the couldnt win.
Kdaddy61987 1 year ago
@IMStr8throwed also im talking about in there primes, i mean come on kobe and shaq in there primes lose to duncan whos in his prime and when manu was starting to come into his own and robinson only played 1 more year after they beat the lakers. Obviously shaq was better at that point but im talking about them in there best 2-3 years of there career who would you take? Like if grant hill never got hurt how good you think he be? Or if dirk and steve stayed together in there primes? Hypotheitcals
Kdaddy61987 1 year ago
@Kdaddy61987 they've played each other, with both being in their primes before with Shaq dominating. It's not like Robinson's 35 and Shaq's 19...It's pretty obvious you didn't watch when Shaq played for the Magic and Robinson was scoring 70 for the Spurs...Robinson didn't get hurt til he got older for the Spurs and Shaq destroyed him even then and before then.
IMStr8throwed 1 year ago
@IMStr8throwed that was different, i saw 1 game and shaq dominated david but that doesnt mean that shaq was better. You dont know the circumstances. Could of been on the road and had 3 games in 5 nights or 4 games in 7. Like when the spurs lost both season games to the cavs the year they met in the playoffs. We all know how that went, got to give teams the ability to ajust and change philosophy and the way there apporaching a team. Shaq was a monster but i would take the admiral in his prime.
Kdaddy61987 1 year ago
@Kdaddy61987 You don't know the circumstances either. When Shaq came in as a rookie, they couldn't believe how great he was and how bad he made David Robinson look. Because Robinson was great when he had the size and athleticism, but Shaq was even bigger and even a greater athlete. Let's get things straight, Tim Duncan was the best player on the planet, that's why Robinson got his ring. Admiral's post game in the paint wasn't nearly as good as Shaq, nor did you see Olajuwon abuse Shaq either
IMStr8throwed 1 year ago
@IMStr8throwed i acutally saw akeem destroy shaq,ewing and robinson but to me akeem was the best player to ever play the game so well keep him out of the conversation. Also who was named mvp early in there career? Oh thats right robinson was mvp not shaq, also shaqs team was alot better the davids. Also note 1992-93 season david won both games against the magic and averaged 26.5 pts and 11.5 rebounds. The 93-94 season david won both games again and averaged 29.5pts and 12 rebounds a game vs shaq
Kdaddy61987 1 year ago
@Kdaddy61987 Shaq and Olajuwon was always an even matchup....Oh numbers now?....how about you put up Shaq's numbers as well... Shaq had a better team? you're nuts, admit it, you hate Shaq. A young Kobe was better than Tim Duncan in his prime is that what you're saying?
IMStr8throwed 1 year ago
@IMStr8throwed not sure what your getting at and yeah i think dennis scott was a better version of sean elliot and horace grat was a solid pf and penny at the time was going to be a sure hof. Shaq also had scott skiles for a little bit who was a little overrated but still better then avery johson. Also i just went to nba.com looked up david robinson game log so you havent done your research. I remember shaq being a monster too but i also remember how well rounded david was so yes david still bet

@Kdaddy61987 as a matter of fact, I don't even remember Magic losing to Spurs...show me the link to where you found that information.

@IMStr8throwed Akeem made shaq look silly which in tern shaq said he wanted to be as good as akeem one day after the magic lost to them in the finals. Its a nba.tv commercial now. Also i like shaq but the bread is in the pudding, you can see the different problems each cneter brings and what they bring to the table. Shaq was the worst ft shooter of the bunch and had no great moves outside of 10 feet. top 5 centers of all time to me 1-akeem 2-robinson 3-shaq 4-ewing 5-wilt
Kdaddy61987 1 year ago
@Kdaddy61987 how can u make a list with no kareem
blockburner1 1 year ago
@blockburner1 i would have akeem 5 or 6 as best ever. I kind of look at his play and say thats amazing but he struggled when he had to be the man sometimes. He played with oscar robinson and when he went to la they struggled till they got magic, when ewing,robinson,akeem and shaq all came to there team they instantly became teams competing for a title. Ewing struggled the first few years but i got to see him play more, most of jabbars game ive seen is when hes older so i dont have the best view
