David Robinson vs Kevin Garnett?

1995. So who's dumber?

The lying one. What's your age?

[ShaqAttack3234]

Because he's the one that thinks Howard is better than Robinson.

I never said Howard was better, in fact I said numerous times that despite the fact that I'd rather build around Howard, Robinson was definitely the better player. Go find the thread, you'll see.

1995. So who's dumber?

You tried claiming that you started watching in 1995 on your RocketGreatness account. This is just pathetic.

[dough]

Oh so you think Howard is better than Admiral too?

No, I said the lying one. Obviously you felt I was talking about you then?

[Dieselblitz34]

Wow, huge David Robinson fan here but I totally didn't realize he was 33 years old when he won his first championship. I never paid attention to his age I guess. . .and those two years in the Navy probably threw the whole "age relative to NBA experience" angle all out of whack.

I really wish we saw more years of Robinson, two more years of his prime could have completely altered his career.

Did you forget with name you logged in with? Replying to yourself?

[veilside23]

why compare they dont play the same position?

but if i would pick a guy and i know i have a good front office and coach and stuff. id pick kg.

its not an excuse but its the truth kg has never played with anyone of sean elliot's caliber throughout his days in minnesota.

drob never had a robin.. lol

KG. Easily. better passer, rebounder, defender. Everything except scorer.

What you claim to have copied straight away from wiki:


Why the lies? Your agenda is too obvious.

It's on the very right under his picture

[Big#50]

Robinson from 89 to 93 was sick. DROB>KG

[BA_God]

KG. Easily. better passer, rebounder, defender. Everything except scorer.

and how old are you?

[magnax1]

and how old are you?

I started watching NBA in 95, so I saw plenty of Robinson, and I've watched plenty of him from 90-95. Maybe Robinsons 2 best years were better then KGs, but just looking at the teams they had, and how much they over performed, you have to pick KG. from 00-03 KGs best team mates were Wally and Terrell Brandon's corpse. Not near as good as Sean Elliot, Rod Strickland, and Terry Cummings, yet pretty similar results.

Easily David Robinson

David Robinson.

1. Robinson played well against a more competitive league, and against stiffer competition at his position.

2. While I will agree that Robinson had better overall teams, they weren't better by all THAT much, as Sean Elliiot while decent, is probably the most overrated player to have his number retired besides Avery Johnson. He had a few all star appearances when the league was suffering a weak talent streak, scored 20 ppg probably one season and was a notoriously average at best defender.

3. David Robinson was a better defensive player IMO. Not taking away from KG's great defensive qualities but take any of KG's seasons and put them against D-Rob's 91-92 season and you will understand. Now I know this is only a sample, but Robinson's versatility was unmatched by anyone not named Hakeem during his tenure. Yeah, KG is probably one of the most well rounded guys to ever play basketball, but he wasn't over seven feet tall and playing the center position. I would venture to say he was probably more explosive and faster baseline to baseline as well.

4. David Robinson was more dominant offensively. Now much of this how to do with KG's blatant disregard for scoring and his love for passing, and KG obviously has a more rounded offensive game than the Admiral, however D-Rob was more unstoppable compared to others at his position, scored more often, and go to the free throw line more often (this is big) than KG.

[ginobli2311]

very very close for me.

i have them both in my top 18 all time i think....probably within 2 or 3 spots of each other.

i'd lean towards KG, but i can't really tell you why. there is no clear answer. anyone saying "easily KG or easily Robinson" didn't watch them play.
