ewing vs david robinson...guru is tripping

ewing looked so clumsy in these...

people have amnesia and remember one missed lay up. he has 9-10 game winners, clutch baskets, and playoff performances in these....

here is my unbiased posting... i looked at 4 david robinson highlight... most were wack... this was good... he stands strong against jordan 2x and posterizes the dream... not too many post season highlights... no big game stakes

people forget how athletic ewing was too.... in those late post season runs of the mid-late 90s he had already peaked.... his peak was ~93 whereas robinson was ~96...

now EVERYONE remembers the dream beating ewing head to head in the finals but "his greatest individual performance in playoff history" (as quoted by the narrator) came a round before destroying the leagues MVP... that would be mr robinson... kinda feels like dirk's MVP.

ace, to prove his point swore robinson was the spurs best player during their 99 playoff run and first title. ... swore robinson was 20 and 10 meanwhile i said he was 15 and 10...i stated duncan was the best player....

duncan in 99 post season avg'ed 23.2 pts and 11.5 rebs
robinson in 99 post season avg'ed 15.6 pts and 9.9 rebs

folks forget the title the spurs won the knicks were an 8th seed as ewing missed alot of games due to injury but limped backed for the playoffs. so they beat the #1 seeded heat as a loaded 8th seed win he came back but young duncan was too much for them especially with aged ewing coming off injury... timmy and (a younger than ewing but declining) robinson wore him down further.... great coaching....

case and point robinson owes his ring to duncan... while they were both the best players on their respective teams playing little talent ewing accomplished more and was better.

also ace tried to say the spurs played in big post season games pre duncan and robinson led them deep into the playoffs http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/SAS/

90 out 2nd round
91 out 1st round
92 out 1st round
93 out 2nd round
94 out 1st round
95 out conf finals where dream BEASTED on him
they would continue being bums of the west until duncan arrived

ace trying to prove his point swore the spurs were a threat when i mentioned the 6 teams that ruled the west in the 90s.....lakers, blazers, sonics, suns, rockets, jazz (think who jordan beat for the most part). everyone gets old, jordan retires, spurs get duncan and people act like robinson led them to a championship...
