When David Robinson Disrespected Michael Jordan and instantly regret it 

That era of the NBA was so damn good we’re all still watching 25 years later.

I attended MJ and David’s hall of fame press conference, while MJ was swarmed by a crowd of 50 people, a 7’1 Robinson walked out of the hall of fame alone, unbothered by fans. I took this as an opportunity to shake his hand, I’m 6’4” 220, and this man shook my whole arm with one hand. I told him what and honor it was to meet him and that he was a major inspiration. He smiled, was gracious and very kind in our brief meeting. What an honor it was to meet a legend.

I love how the final score of a double overtime game is 87-83. You had to earn every point. 90s basketball was not for the faint of heart. BTM-awesome video, as always

David Robinson is under rated... the guy was a beast.

It blows my mind that kids today don’t know how great basketball used to be!

Robinson is one of the most underrated players in history. He isn't considered a top 10 center by many but he absolutely dominated in the 90s. Easily averaged 25ppg 11rpg and 3bpg for the decade.

No flopping, no whining, playing hard in RS game, unbelievable these days

Robinson was a damned machine dude. What a privilege it was to grow up watching basketball throughout the 90s. There were so many legends of the game competing nightly

Nobody will ever play the game the way Michael Jordan did. He made the games seem magical. He was like rhe super man of basketball

People forget how utterly freakish Robinson was. He could jump, and he could outrun guards, too. It was always fun to see the terror on their faces when Robinson chased them down. He brought the Spurs from being a laughing stock to relevance, all by himself. He deserves every accolade he gets.

I’m a Chicago native. I was a serious Bulls fan. But San Antonio used to kick our ass when we were in their house. Robinson was as great a defender as you could find in the league. They also had great coaching. It’s was always amazing competition going on our west coast trip every November. 👍🏿 I miss good basketball.

Oh and BTW it wasn’t only Robinson who MJ went up against, a guy by the name of Tim Duncan was playing in that game also.

I will never forget I saw David Robinson at a school field trip in DC. Absolute Giant. But a gracious and humble man.

i like how MJ helped Robinson up at 3:37 👍

The 1999 NBA Finals and 2003 NBA Finals that David Robinson won with the Spurs still make an impression. Especially when Robinson retired after winning his second championship, it really touched me.

Im 30 and this era inspires me to this day.......❤

He was so much fun to watch. To see an arsenal of skills (not just because he's bigger and stronger). Left hand, right hand, in the paint, mid-range, 3-point shots...how many steals did we see! GOAT!!! AND, played all 82 games, with no rest management or excuses, even without Pip or Rodman. GOAT!

David Robinson is genuinely one of the smartest, most generous people in the history of basketball

Double OT...no way LeQuit would have sustained the effort MJ did

The best era of all times no doubt about it. Still watching these games 25-30 years later, unbelievable.

David Robinson and Tim Duncan on the same team. Damn.

This is just one example of why MJ is the goat. He turns adversity into victory. He just wasn't intimidated by clashes with big opponents who played great.... He motivated himself to play better than the best. Robinson was by no means a slouch, but a great player who is still underrated today. Hats off to The Admiral...

As Bulls fan in the 90s, I didn't get to see many Spurs games, but I always knew how awesome David was. That dude was a tank too. They aren't built like that anymore!

Watching that game, it's nuts to see how many big shots MJ was hitting in the 4th quarter and both overtime periods. Especially that 3 to tie the game after a missed 3 with seconds winding down on the clock.

I remember this game and it was typical never give up Jordan. Thank you Robinson for talking smack.

Love watching the GOAT step up.

It was never just one game when you grew up watching the Chicago Bulls every game that Jordan played was usually extraordinary.

Avery Johnson's reaction to that 3 mj hit is priceless 😂

Love videos like this, taking me back to my favorite years of the NBA!

As a Bulls fan, you always knew MJ was gonna take over the 4th qtr, and elevate to a whole nother level, and you could see his opponents just didn’t have it in them, and the exhaustion on their faces spoke volumes…I always put my money on the 4th qtr, because he was a guaranteed Clutch Man, no matter how many ppl you put on him, it only raised him to another level and to make matters worse, even the coaches were frustrated on the opposing team…I’m thinking the time he played with the flu…lmao…He went off anyway 🙏🏽💯…There are no clutch players that could consistently, take over a game, rise to another level, still play as a team player, for 48mins, and get any shot he wanted, ANYWHERE on the floor…🔥🔥🙏🏽💯

The sentence "That wasn't a playoff game" says it all. Hell that was more intense than most playoff games today, much less the regular season.

"You need the ref to help you" - if a player said that to leFlop, he'll tell on him and demand the refs get him ejected for hurting his feelings and media would support their idol 100%.

"You see, Sonny; no flopping." "I didn't know this could even be possible Daddy!" 😱

87-83 in a TWO overtime game?? The amount of "let them play" no calls... BRING THOSE DAYS BACK ALREADY!!!

We see all the big shots. That’s his norm. We hear and see it all the time. But his defense gets overshadowed by his offense. In his later years he would pace himself but when they need defensive stops, he was just as clutch. For some strange reason, the greats seem to be in the right place at the right time and capitalize. This is clearly MJ on both offense and defense. Goat….

That dunk though - “no stopping that one!”

This game just showcased the super competitiveness and sportsmanship of the game then!! Great times and I truly miss that era! Only wish I would've watched more than I did.. and I watched, but only when the Bulls played lol.

Jordan and Robinson are literally my co favorite players all time. Only time I couldn’t root for either is when they played against each other. Thankfully they never met in the finals. Do t know what I would have done lol

David Robinson was incredible. I saw him play at the Alamodome back in 1998

Makes me glad I’m 44 years old and witnessed all this live . I graduated in 97 . What a year for the Detroit redwings also . All sports were way better then. Being from South eastern Michigan I loved the BadBoy Pistons era also . Great video.

3:35 it is a hard play but not a malicious one. He was the first one over to help him up. Michael had his shot blocked, he missed open shots, and he missed wide-open dunks. He's still human, but when it comes to do or die and the game is on the line. He's not human!

Wait. People used to shoot more than threes and dunks? Where did the mid range shooters go?

I remember watching this live and seeing those MJ buckets fall in those fadeaways and it was so familiar and you just knew he was taking over the game and was not going to be stopped. Brilliance on the court

Dream is my fav athlete of all time. The only person i felt could stop him or be at his level as a Center was Robinson. The Admiral was a great adversary to my Rockets in the 90's. When Jordan is on the scene you get the very best to test you! Damn i miss 90's Basketball!!

Little known fact: David Robinson, Hakeem, Chuck and MJ were actually pretty good friends. This was post back surgery David Robinson who was a shell of his former self unfortunately. You could tell that Mike couldn’t help himself and want to light up David that game. Tim was still young and not the player he later became but when Mike was on he so t going to be stopped. I was an intern at a local tv station back in these days in San Antonio and I saw a few of these games sitting on press row. Mike was seriously intimidating to everyone including the guys on press row. It was like god walking up when he checked in.

it's about damn time someone acknowledge David Robinson. somehow after the mid 2000's ppl seem to forget about him. even now nobody brings him up for the all time greats, he was barely even cheered in top 75 as if ppl didn't even know who he was.

Mr.Robinson’s Neighborhood 😄 I remember those days. All those funny commercials

That would have been an amazing finals in 1999

Really refreshing to see someone objectively explain why MJ is the best with real examples that cannot be disputed. Thanks for doing the research and organization on your channel!

MJ showed he still sits alone on Mount Olympus✨⚡

still, they shook hands after the buzzer. that's just pure competitiveness and sportmanship. men showing class after that tough game.

Damn David buffed up a lot since his debut. What a player.

MJ took defense seriously. Robinson is one of the greats as well. Neither one of them backed down from the challenge. Respect to the 🐐’s

That was crazy seeing Robinson run like that. Only time I really ever watched him play was when they would face the Rockets or Sonics.

G.O.A.T! Moves! AS Rick Flair would always say! "To BE the man, you have to BEAT the man"

Class act between these two. At 7:39 minutes into the video where David expresses his complaint about MJ's behavior is just classic. The look and expression on David's face towards MJ is like him saying; " Your a piece of work here!"

I wish this entire game was available to watch.

Deep down these were two fierce competitors who had the upmost respect for one another.

I’m glad you have this segment featuring my favorite player of all time, David Robinson; and him just having a great competition with the GOAT. David Robinson doesn’t get enough respect and is totally underrated . Big up #50

Damn, I didn't recall Robinson being so quick and solid on the dribble. Robinson and Duncan were an intense duo.

My favorite quote from Avery Johnson would say in the huddle let him goo see five oh referring to playing defense!

David Robinson would be easy 5-time MVP in this era!

Michael took it personal 😂😂

No one is on MJ's level. If someone was even close, most humans with a brain would notice, there would be no debates about it, But not one single player is anywhere close on any level.

This brought me back to a great time for the NBA. It's like hearing a favorite song you loved as a kid.

The clutch factor in the end of that game was off the charts!

Here's an example when the media says the players who guarded MJ was small guards. I'm old enough now I'm in my 50 they thru everything at MJ even David Robinson and still wasn't enough. David Robinson was a beast I think he'll would be a problem in today's league

Bro that in yr face with Robinson and Jordan. Admiral looked terrifying, MJ wanted all that smoke.

Robinson staring down at Greatness... man.. MJ don't Flinch!!!! Robinson was a hell of a player.. so many Elite Centers in that era... wow

MJ was a killer, always appearing in the key moments of the game. I consider my self a pretty lucky man cause I had the privilege to see the goat's entire career.

Hello SeanDavid.....my name is David too...i love watching your content about MJordan story....🥰

And the rookies choose the flop king rather than MJ, it's clear that perseverance no longer exists in this weak era.

Double OT and neither team reached 90 points. Back when there was defense.

Era of incredibly durable players. Indeed, no flopping and no whinning. Intense hard foul, mental trash talk games, but remain respectful players. 🔥🔥🔥

Just looking at that game alone, imagine if Jordan and the Admiral played in this era they would really dominate games.

Jordan: "never help nobody up" Also Jordan: picks up David

Sincerely appreciate your effort in these videos. Great job! Love MJ. He was a KILLER.

Lebron fans need to watch this. Because no one in their right mind can watch this and still say Scottie carried MJ.

Robinson was by many considered the greatest center of the game. And top NBA scouts noted that the absolute best of the best possible lineups would've featured Robinson at Center, MJ at G, Pippen at small forward, and who cares about the rest. But Robinson absolutely had super human-like talents on the hardwood. But MJ was still the machine that could not be stopped.

Jordan was such a bucket. Kids these days will just never know what this guy was like. Such a fierce competitor. He was a dagger.

Michael the machine Jordan. I wish basketball be aggressive like the old days

These videos still get me chills. I am 53 years old, I started watching NBA maybe 1984 or 1985, I watched all about it, all saturdays I was waiting for NBA Stuff with Ahmad Rashad. When MJ retired I also retired from watching basketball. Michael left the level too high, so it wasn't the same anymore.

Against the prime David Robinson and Tim Duncan without Scotty ! Case closed

I watched this game in real time and I’m still watching #HisAirness 💯#GOAT #FOREVER

@7:00 Tim Duncan thought about it but obviously Momma aint raise no fool haha that was a Hell of a business decision😂

The Admiral was a wonderful player 😂

Spurs fan since 92'. I doubt many fans today would be aware how good Robinson was. But this video really shows how MJ is the ultimate dog. He really wasn't a great shooter, (that season 23% from 3pt, 78% FT), but the shots he made were so difficult and so clutch. He was always going for blood even if he was off that night. Rare to see players with that kind of tenacity these days.

He took every game as a championship game. Glad i got to see greatness as a youngen.

The Admiral was a beast. A forgotten legend

Great video as always

And there was no Pippin in this game, and MJ went up against 2 giants. GOAT!

Always loved the Admiral

Such a beauty to watch MJ

MJ leaves no doubt on winning

On point, that is why MJ is on another level. No one deserves to be compared to him. His game was above everybody else. Despite this season, he never loss 3 consecutive games. Truly the GOAT (MENTAL TOUGHNESS plus KILLER INSTINCT)

i enjoy your work. keep it rolling. thank you.

When he stood over mike towards the end, that’s a big dude

Robinson is Always a Great Player but this game as many games show why M.J. IS THE G.O.A.T. We At "Worldwide Sports Fans Smack Talk" approves this message!!!

Sean Elliot was a good player back in the day. An underrated defender in my opinion. With that being said, look at what Jordan was doing to him.

Best nba content in the multiverse!! Thank you sir!
