David Robinson, NBA Legend

“The Admiral” is living proof of the old adage that good things come to those who wait.  Robinson was a star at the U.S. Naval Academy, earning All-American honors twice, and winning college basketball’s most prestigious honors, the Wooden and Naismith Awards, in his senior season – but waited two seasons before debuting in the NBA.
