You put Shaq or Dream on a mediocre team(Say like the Suns this year) and they make it all the way to the Finals and probably win it.

D Rob would get them to the 2nd round..maybe.That '94-'95 San Antonio team was arguably more talented than the '94-'95 Rockets, but D Rob just didn't have it in him

Damn near 50 wins isn't mediocre. You put a prime D. Rob on these Suns and they probably win the chip.
We comparing him to KG not to Shaq or Dream. Point blank both of your arguments are flawed in that everything negative you have said about D. Rob also applies to KG AND the things that KG were better at aren't really germane to big man basketball and after all we are talking about big men here.

the Western Conference was really loaded in the mid 90's

Spurs, Suns, Jazz, Sonics

But Dream owned them all

(well the Sonics always gave them fits, but they never met in the playoffs during the interjordan years thanks to Dikembe, Van Exel/Ceballos and Coach Lithgow)

I know its not fair but whenever i hear Robinson all i think of is


and

True but think about it: Name 1 center that Olajuwon didnt dominate. Thats like laughing at someone because they got sonned by Jordan. Again, who didnt? Shaq was never a great low post defender but Olajuwon made Shaq look like he belonged in the special Olympics.

Robinson got owned by Shaq on that dunk but let's be real: bak in Shaq's prime Robinson and Mourning were the only ones who could do a decent job guarding Shaq. And Robinson was the only one whoinsisted on guarding Shaq with no help.

Dude said Kevin Garnett was like a Point-Forward

Technically, maybe mediocre is too strong of a word, but the Suns are nothing more than a "middle of the pack' team.I don't think D Rob had the intestinal fortitude to lead any team to a NBA Title.Great stats guy, but when I watched him play, he was never the dominant player his stats would lead you to believe he was.The Kevin Love syndrome.Ultimate stats guy.The very fact that he was a classical big man and we're able to put a guy like KG up against him, a big man who played smaller than what he was, raises a red flag on D Rob.His currency(stats) are backed by copper, not gold.Where are his stand out performances when the games really mattered the most? I've been watching the NBA real heavy since 1990.He won a ship when he was and had a young Duncan leading the way, but as the main guy, he was in the same boat as Reggie Miller, Karl Malone, and Charles Barkley.Star players who never had teams good enough to win it all.

The difference between those guys and D Rob, I can recall those guys battling, and having standout performances when the pressure was at it's thickest.With D Rob, it's just crickets.Even when he had the team with the best record in the league/won the MVP, he shrunk and turned into the cowardly lion in the playoffs.I look beyond stats when judging a player.They have to pass the eyeball test.Problem with D Rob, I can't find anything beyond the stats.No guts, no heart, no will..Hollowed be thy game.

And I'm supposed to respect a guy like that because he was a physical specimen(That he couldn't fully use to his advantage because his heart pumped kool-aid) and had good stats? Again

Of course, a lot of that can imply to KG, but mentally/heart wise, I don't believe he was as Dandelion soft as D Rob

I only brought up Hakeem & Shaq because you put the word GOAT and KG in the same sentence.I had to bring up 2 of the real GOATS and mention how i'd be in violation if I put KG up against either one...He couldn't fukk with them.....But D Rob? I might just throw Rik Smits & Kevin Duckworth at him

When you're a big man who's as versaitle as KG..who's clearly more talented than the rest of your teammates... you damn near become a point forward by default.

KG had all the same gifts as D. Rob and you acknowledged he's soft too so what exactly is your point? You don't like D. Rob and like KG more? That's about it.

I'm not fond of either one of these dudes.

It's "Pick your bytch nygga" to me.

Watching Friday, it's like Smokey(KG) vs Red(D Rob) IMO.

Smokey was a bytch, but he had a lil bit of dog in him.Red was just a total bytch.

End of the day, we judge players differentlly.From where I stand, I've never been impressed with D Rob.EVER

[Reggie]

We never really talk about D-Rob's injury affecting him either. He went from 25 and 12 in his last healthy year and he when he came back his numbers were down. Now quite a bit of that had to do with Duncan arriving but I still would have liked to see him being completely healthy for the latter part of his career to see where his numbers would have been.

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

Oh yeah, that's you

I kinda agree with you, though.Talent wise, he doesn't belong in the same group as those guys.

But Reggie had a lot of heart and was a competitor, though

That's clear. However there is no basis outside of some nebulous "dog in him" to pick KG as a superior player. I am not about to sit here and quantify levels of bytchness.
