David Robinson
The Admiral — 2x NBA Champion, Olympic Gold, Humanitarian
The Admiral Leo
David Robinson was a Naval Academy officer, required to serve two years in the military before joining the Spurs, who then became one of the most dominant centers in NBA history. Two championships. Defensive Player of the Year. An MVP. An Olympic Dream Teamer. And after basketball, he co-founded a school in San Antonio and donated $9 million to it. The most complete Leo in NBA history.
Leo Legacy
- 2x NBA Champion: 1999 and 2003 San Antonio Spurs championships
- US Naval Officer: Graduated from Naval Academy — two years active duty before NBA
- MVP 1995: Averaged 27.6 points, 10.8 rebounds — the most complete center season of the 1990s
- Carver Academy: Co-founded school in San Antonio, donated $9 million to it
Robinson’s Leo excellence transcends basketball — his post-career dedication to education is the greater achievement.
“The most important thing I have done in my life has nothing to do with basketball.”
