Highlights of a Young David Robinson

[TaylorAA23]

0:22 Dont hurt me! lol

[Juanimador]

High priest of the Church Of Sick

[TheShnag]

It's amazing how a single generation had so many great centers. Olajuwon. Ewing. Robinson. The NBA has zero tough guy centers like that anymore. Those three were truly special.

[fatgravypants]

David Robinson>Shaq

David Robinson>D-Howard

David Robinson>Everyone

[ccchrv]

@fatgravypants

Lol...

Hakeem or Shaq would FOOD robinson

[cklambo]

Rejected!

[iTaliwonder]

400th like!

[cmullen69]

Why wasn't the Admiral in a Dunk Contest?

[GunGemini]

We were so lucky to get this guy!! AMAZING

Plus Those Nike Air Force 180 Commanders are like the HOLY GRAIL of sneaker collecting! RARE shoe for a RARE athlete

[heinbenable]

@GunGemini

I agree with you about David Robinson, but when you start talking about shoes, you just sound like a faggot. How about you start dreaming about what you're gonna accomplish in life and not what you're fucking feet are gonna look like.

[Gerdrako20]

get out of the way!!!!

[jpnrc]

2:30 PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nissanrb25dett]

Damn



[droctagon3k]

jesus his some of his blocks are as spectacular as his dunks, he stopped some real hammer jobs

[Kjilif]

LMAO @ Benjamin. He got blocked and dunked on in the same play.

[Tr3ble4u]

funny coz i just finished watching lebron, kobe, VC's highlights.. and I viewed this clip.. talking about the comparison.. i almost fall asleep here.. lol.. no offense Admiral.. sorry.. but nthn beats the twin towers duo at that time.. peace

[xbobthejokerx]

when did he start playing in the nba?

[textmachine09]

the admiral. . . hands down

[yoshi207]

damn

[GunGemini]

I ve been on EBAY, AMAZON and can not find the DAVID ROBINSON AIR FORCE 180s to save my life!!

Anybody know where i can get some?

Nike has yet to retro them but somebody has to have them!

[hemelekkoff]

This should be on High Definition

[Boogers4dinner]

I remember doing this, I remember doing that. Everybody's got a story on every you tube page. Just watch the video be happy and shut up. No one cares about anybody's "True Hollywood Stories". Shut the fuck up and watch the damn video. LOL :)P

[miamiboy67]

i remember watchin this guy wit my mom and dad in tha '98-99 season, he dominated.

[goomba2smash]

I seen him at a high school tennis tournament, his son plays tennis.

I almost played him.

[plyzwthsqrlz]

Damn they all look so lanky back then

[Boogers4dinner]

It's all the processed foods people eat today that make today's people look so bulky and overweight. America is overweight as a nation, and diabetes is increasing every year. They might have looked lanky but they were in good shape, not all those extra pounds of bubba lard mixed with muscle. Just straight lean muscle and no fat back then.

[plyzwthsqrlz]

They had just as many processed foods back then. I think it's the Shaq complex. Here's this big, fat dude who throws weight around in the paint. He dominated.  Every franchise wants one. Now players bulk up to handle the physicality of the game, which is ironic since the game was much more physical back then. It's kinda stupid too bc all that extra added weight will wear down their knees faster.

[ArminOMatic]

God Damn! And I just saw him in Denmark! Shaked his hand O_o

[Gold753]

Damn, the Clippers always getting owned...

At least I'm a Spurs fan!

[monarchea]

more skilled dwight howard as of now

[kahirij]

I'm not dissing your comparison, but more than just "more skilled", Robinson was also a better athlete than Howard, with a level of straight-line quickness unmatched by any 7-footer I've seen. Great straight line drive moves from the top of the key. Great scorer from top of the key. He was not really a Center offensively, had no real post game. Howard's post game is at least equal to Robinson's

[evadful]

one of the strongest centers ever.

[hurstkr]

And you're just a moron.

[hardcoremofo]

david is just a normal player

[annahilate]

yes, david robertson is a great player, but it always pop up on my mind how the dream dominate him :-)

[ipathskate447]

haha go figure the worst defense was the clippers

[republicansridiots]

who were the spurs playin against at the 2:00 mark? that was some terrible d.

[mikew318]

clippers

[republicansridiots]

hahahahha

its the clippers, no wonder y

[machine260292]

The clippers. Haha!

[balikpapan6]

if you dont know who they were playing against, you dont know what a good or bad d is

[roboslug]

Not even one clip of his nice outside jumper? Waste.

[DavidS310]

u no he is a center rite

[mattcowzer]

you dont play basketball do you

[roboslug]

If all you care about are dunks and blocks then I doubt you play ball, Robinson was great cuz he had a complete package including a great mid range jumper.

[balikpapan6]

I agree,

David Robinson is a center, we all know that.. but the one that actually watches his game know that he was a good shooter as well.. so idiots that gave you the thumbs down are probably kids that never seen him play before, but heard his name from some old NBA magazine in their dads basement.. or should I say N00b

[shidoshikami]

So true. He was very talented and extremely mobile for a seven footer. I mean the man is only one of four NBA players to post a quadruple double. Crazy. I loved watching him play.

[ReMoVeR69]

around.. 1:09 did he even look to the basket ;o it seems that he didnt ;o

[johnnyjohn123]

pretty quick for his height

[claydo17]

I agree with ustillhating, Hakeem had a much better all-around game.

[tehsamjones]

LOL poor clippers...

[airjordanalldaybaby]

How does the official NBA youtube manage to misspell "Highlight"?

Anyways, the Admiral is a beast and always will be. The Dwight Howard comparison needs to die right now. There IS no comparing them two.

David Robinson > Dwight Howard

Don't get me wrong, I respect Howard's play, but he's nowhere near the Admiral. In a few years, maybe, but I still doubt that.

[SumetraSound]

That's funny. Its probably college freshman intern. LOL

[TheThorte30]

@airjordanalldaybaby

I totally agree with you. Howard and Robinson are diffenrent types of players in different times. It´s not possible to compare them.

Besides that i think, Robinson is a much more versatile player than howard. Better jumpshot, better handle, better moves, better legwork, much more quicker in his prime. Robinson is a legend, Dwight needs to earn it in the next 10 years.

[wizfan003]

dwight doesnt deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the admiral.

[ustillhating]

really overrated and had no post game... well i guess thats cause im used of the real legend... Hakeem baby!

[xThaddeusx]

i forgot what a beast he was

almost makes me like the spurs now ;D

[DeathNoteBlue]

how the hell did he lead the league in scoring if all he could do was dunk? this guy is a scrub compared to most legends

[mrdunkalicious]

obviously if ur guna compare him to most legends

[Mycha183]

I guess its traveling at 0:28.

[G13angin]

not traveling, he gets full control of it after the ball is at its highest point and takes two steps. Only looks like traveling because the ball is still going upwards while hes running

[gigettu]

i love david.really incredible.he move like a guard.unfortunally he's good man and maybe he hasn't play for win but for his team better.

[pearcy697]

yeah might have game like howard, but they have once difference.... Robinson didnt have an extra 20 kg's of muscle on him like howard does lol

[mxcvids]

nice, at 1:02 he gets clyde

[oilpentel]

one of the most dominant center in the nba history

[mrdunkalicious]

idk bout dat but he was really good

[hemelekkoff]

O_O, centers like him, no anymore =(

[romron03]

david robinson is a beast !

[ridgeallstar]

D-howard moves are like Robinson

[BluePaintedChair]

d-howard got no skills just all power

[ideemac]

strongest and cleanest blocks i've seen. The opponent falls when blocked LOL

[mansuliu]

Highlites?????????????????????­

[camarosuper6]

Great Highlights. And for the moron a few pages back who said Hakeem owned him every time, you have never watched either of them play. Their career stats vs eachother are nearly identical, and until the 95 playoffs, David was considered a better center overall. YES the 95 playoffs, Hakeem owned everybody, including Rob and the Spurs, but they were always very equal with the ONE EXCEPTION of the 95 playoffs. Get your shit right.

[bobhk3]

Its always better to have a very strong big man..Then to have a strong Guard or forward..

Example:Lebron.. He'll score but they will scroe on his basket using #5..

Now with a gd big man like Robinson or Shaq you owuld be scoring AND making the defense intensity at the other end..

[WrestlingRulez]

a beast - wow

[lolo2000bm]

hes faster and he has hops. the admiral was a beast

[redd11D]

Damn hes a beast- he seems alot more quicker and better agility than the centers that play nowadays

[snoop8370]

Prison break new season exclu by snoop8370

[Crobvirgo]

4got how fast he was!.. them other true 7ft1centers are slow, glad my last name is robinson lol though i'm only 6'4

[BTAKVE]

This is stupid you can't compare a big post man like Howard to Robinson and Ewing I am tired of these dumbass comparisons the league keeps making for Howard because they can't work up the balls to say that he is a young Shaq anyone who watched basketball in the 90s knows he is young Shaq reincarnated in his play and even went to the Magic like Shaq and took them to the finals like Shaq did in similar fashion. Be real now NBA

[tw3akedd0wn13]

Howard's low post game isn't nearly as good as young Shaq's.

[danielrockswell]

But Shaq had possibly the best low post game in history...

[tw3akedd0wn13]

I hear that, but Howard's game is more of a front to the basket power house. His legit back to the basket game is still developing.

[788rad]

Yes. Howard also plays with less grace than Robinson did.

[whb786]

0:44 1 foot 2 handed windmill off the wrong leg. Fucking amazing

[leandrong]

Anyone knows if The character Takenori Akagi of Slam Dunk is based on David Robison?

[wired2max7]

Thank God for David Robinson. And to try and put Howard at The Admiral's level is blasphemy. No center in the history of the game could move around the court like Robinson could. The world had never experienced a point guard in a center's body before DRob came on scene. I miss 90's NBA!

[bLaCksPIdAXxXTeVeS21]

ULTRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BLOCKER

[coolcalmahn]

its simple,

defense: dwight (barely)

offense: david (by a big margin)

overall though... too early to call, but so far david.

simple.

[jefrik122333]

David Robinson's game was a lot more rounded than Dwight Howard's. Let's see Dwight score 71 points.

[darkprince8456]

the spurs needs a centre now

[GSPfan10]

Not only is the spelling wrong, but the video at times look interlaced.

Poor quality for NBA standards.

[askarana]

dwight howard it has more athletic abilities and a bigger body

[clickpick92]

howard may be more athletic, but robinson did his center job much better than howard has done so far

[darylxu123]

did a three year old spell this?

[jamarf0rtune]

dwight will ultimately be way better than david rob because of his physical gifts but david robinson was my favorite player for the longest time.

[rottenzombie27]

what are you talking about... Drob is a a better athlete than Dwight. He used to be a gymnast for gods sake.

I can't believe how many ppl overrate dwight nowadays. Hakeem, Shaq, Drob, Ewing are all >>>>>> Dwight.

[big10zin]

DWIGHT HOWARD < DAVID ROBINSON

[tokens54]

Howard has some work to do on those post moves before we can start comparing him to david robinson right now howard gets it done on O with pure athleticism if he can get that post game down we can start these comparisons but for right now lets stick to body build and athletic ability

[telj1]

YES! Thank you for the schooling. The real sad part about it is, we keep saying has potential.

WHEN does it kick in. He's been in the NBA for awhile now. He's an athletic beast but he needs to work on the post! To big and powerful not be ruling the paint. Duncan,Shaq,Admiral,.....so far his skills don't measure up. I hope it does though!

[dakevinboyo]

lol everyone looks pissed after he dunks

[estderoma]

way better than howard!

[Triksta6]

idk why but the hangtime he gets at :40 just looks freakin awesome to me

[nikestylah]

Highlites ? :D

[moneyindabank6]

damm

[theSOUNDinterpreter]

i want the job of spelling for nba youtube videos.

[kim34s]

lol yea senad, I saw that spin to dunk too. But dam, i think i saw bruce bowen... he's just that old and has played for them for that long

[senad0004]

Dwight Howard = David Robinson

[MrCalico60]

great stuff!

other times - other heroes ...

[sexa19]

this is the another excuse for the off season..lol

[brownie003]

highlites lol

[flipknoc]

this guy was the reason i hit the arm curls at the gym

[lidgerwood]

NBA, what the hell is going on? Who's the retard you've paid to post these vids on your account? Please tell me it's a work experience kid who's only 14 years old.

Come on. Get your act together! Highlites? Knciks? Learn to spell, NBA!

[sexa19]

yah and this is boring no sound effect

[dell111]

reminds me of amare

[GFl1ve]

This man was Dwight Howard on steroids!

Oh wait...

[d3ql]

totally agree, they also misspelled "highlights".

[x0xsnowx0x]

Hahahaha!! So true!! And they spelt "Highlights" wrong like d3ql said.

Also, on the last video of theirs that I watched they spelt "Knicks" like "Knciks".

FAIL.

[rayosha]

hakeem was better, hands down, not to mention he kicked his ass evertime they met in the playoff.

[takumi4321]

I was fortunate enough to see him play at his peak. Such videos really don't do him justice. Was my favorite player growing up. Almost cried when he got dominated by Hakeem but then again no shame in losing to the dream..... two of the best centres in their era.... definitely much better in terms of skill level and post moves than the big men of today.

[shktzz]

"Highlites" lold

[chocolatemilk2551]

*robinson

[chocolatemilk2551]

dwight howard now is probably what davidson was back then

[iDunk1]

the dude is probably bit better than Dwight but give dwight another season and he will be the TOP 3 center in NBA ;)

[JosephKenley]

what year are these highlights? cause tim duncan is in some of them and hes not that old

[ohyeahar123]

Don't know who Benjamin #00 on the Clippers was. But damn, he got owned by the Admiral. Blocked, got beat down court, dunked on, blocked again on the other end...

[surfzone888]

that's benoit benjamin...1980's 1st draft...second pick...

[timmykov]

he was better than dwight just got a bad rap because he was shamed by Hakeem a few times.. bets big man athlete until howard

[marfren3]

IMO, more than Dwight lol...

[blackbot3000]

I would agree

[littlemikeinchina]

best shot blocking center ever!

[XLcombo]

completely wrong. Hakeem is the best blocking center ever.

[TheBoywonder25]

This guy is raw

[kevinseveneleven]

The only reason they're comparing him to Dwight in the video description is MARKETING. Dwight is the young face of the center position right now but stylistically they aren't very similar. Now if you want to talk about a real comparison, you go to a young Kevin Garnett. NOW THAT would be a matchup worth paying to see, young Admiral vs young KG.

[whitesunmd]

man those are some sweet cuts to the basket

[pugadbobby]

yup olajuwon was the better center... david robinson couldn't get a ring until tim duncan came around

[poolplayer713]

He was a great player... But Olajuwon was the CENTER OF THE DECADE. Olajuwon owned him every time they faced off...

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong... But Olajuwon> Robinson.

[LLotoo5468]

He was better than dwight

Dwight can't can't run the court like him

Robinson was amazing!

[titans925]

he also ran the court like no center EVER

[titans925]

he was a better defender than howard and had way better offensive moves, you just cant tell cause this video was meant to be more entertaining which is why it only shows blocks and dunks

[titans925]

he was dwight howard and then some

[lupemaxman]

david robinson was underrated!

[earthdestroyer2000]

he is real!!!

[kinezy]

NBA's spelling? highlites haaha

[canicallutownsie]

Hahhahahhaha Highlites

GO NBA!

[Exarion1117]

he looks better then dwight

[889bball]

that was very nice...i had no idea he did such powerful dunks in his career.

[EEpong]

wrong spelling hahahaha

[JTsai]

blocks were awesome, but the rest weren't too impressive for me. i thought there were gonna be like post ups or w/e, but they were all dunks and he was open 9/10 times. i did like some of the dunks though, pretty explosive. but im sure he did more than that during his career though, too bad i was too young to remember :\

idk why you guys bother comparing him to dwight. they're from different generations, physically different too. prob had what each other didnt

gotta see more vids of him

[beastfromeast34]

The Block/Rejection @ 1:00 is INSANE!!!

[zmanKT]

David Robinson is soo explosive. I love the spin off of the defender than an alley-oop!!

[HectoxMan]

NiCe

[TheseOpenRoads]

looks like a older Dwight Howard

[method526]

this man WAS NOT dwight howard before there was dwight howard. he was and will always be David "The Admiral" Robinson. End.

[Bigmike3023]

Great highlights, but why compare the Admiral to Dwight? Because they're both built similarly? David would kill Dwight. He had more than an inside dunk presence. He could actually shoot the ball, well too! Not saying Dwight doesn't have the potential to be great, but he's not even close to D-Robinson yet!

[the0csalev]

Dwight Howard is great. He's phenominal, but Robinson was much smarter. Would I say Robinson is better than Dwight? No, but I wouldn't say Dwight is better than Robinson either. The two were pretty different except in blocking and explosion in their jumps.

[holesh0t]

Robinson is a much better player than Dwight Howard. We are talking about one of the top players to ever play this game. He was in the top 50. You couldn't say anything near that about Dwight. Give Dwight more time and then we could make a better comparison.

[jhualexc]

Dwight's bigger and may be more physically gifted. However, David Robinson moved much better without the ball and has more developed post moves. It's not really close. Robinson was one of the greatest all time, Dwight Howard just has potential.

[hotsung]

Haha, David has more variety in his dunks than LBJ.

[xDMITRIYxTHExFlex]

He's A BEAST moves so fast and he's like 7 feet tall CRAZY

[chaveznieves]

i remember when the spurs used to be fun to watch...

[metube1515]

not really ginobly is fun to watch

[Reallyscrewd]

DAvid OWNS Dwight xD

[lonelyshepherd96]

such a g

[RocketsNBA]

they need to make one of these highlite reels for olajuwon.

[yian818]

he's my favorite center.

for me he's the best center.

:)

[acolytes23]

Is the video name misspelled (Highlites of a Young David Robinson) or am i missing something?

[Seifer007]

yea thats what i thought too

[blazeral22]

also david robinson probably has one of the best jumpers for a center
