    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">June 24, 2005 -- SAN ANTONIO ? The guest celebrant on the court ? and on the scorer's table and in the Spurs championship locker room ? was none other than retired Spurs center David Robinson.
    The Admiral, who cut short a Hawaiian vacation to be at SBC Center last night, was ready to shout the praises of former teammate Tim Duncan, with whom he won two of the Spurs' three championships.

    "Mentally when everyone's beating down on you and you're beating down on yourself, it's really difficult," Robinson told The Post amid the spraying of bottled water, beer and champagne. "His body wasn't feeling good. He showed every bit of championship grit that you'd ever went to see in anybody. I can't believe they questioned him in the first place.

    "Now he's one of the best power forwards ever, if not the best. It was obvious. He had trouble with his ankles all year long. He was a stud." </div>

    David's management and a part owner of the team. He has a vested interest in how well they do.

    Despite his current role with the team, i believe The Admiral would be there regardless, he's a great guy and he's got a lot of repsct for the Spurs organisation.

    Agree with you.
    being from San Antonio David was going to the games way before he invested into the Spurs organisation. (5 Million)
