<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Glenn "Big Dog'' Robinson began his NBA career with the Milwaukee Bucks. Now he wants to end his career with them. Robinson, whom the Bucks selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 1994 draft, is a free agent and able to sign with the team of his choice this summer. Robinson's agent, Dr. Charles Tucker, said his client would welcome the opportunity to rejoin the Bucks. "Oh, yeah, he would like to do that: Senator (Herb) Kohl and Larry Harris are among his favorite people,'' Tucker said about Kohl, who is the Bucks owner, and Harris, who is the team's general manager. "Glenn liked playing for the Bucks and I know the fans there liked him.'' Robinson was one of the most celebrated players to ever enter the NBA. After being a atar at Purdue, some NBA officials predicted Robinson would become a superstar as a pro. Some went so far to compare him to Oscar Robertson and Michael Jordan. But while Robinson never developed into a blue-chip player, he nevertheless has had an excellent career. He was a prolific scorer during his time in Milwaukee and was chosen to the Eastern Conference All-Star teams in 2000 and 2001. But after eight seasons with the Bucks, Robinson was dealt to Atlanta in 2002 for Toni Kukoc, Leon Smith and a future No. 1 draft choice. Robinson then was dealt to Philadelphia, which dealt him to New Orleans last season. Robinson was then waived by the Hornets and picked up by San Antonio. Robinson played in nine regular-season games for the Spurs, averaging 10 points and 2.7 rebounds. One of those games was a 9-for-11 shooting and 23-point performance against Memphis. Robinson then appeared in 13 playoff games for the eventual champion Spurs, averaging 3.8 points in 8.7 minutes off the bench. His top playoff showing as a Spurs came against Seattle, when he totaled 16 points in 14 minutes.</div> Source
its cool that he wants to finish his career where it started..also the Bucks actually are going to be good this year which im sure helped him make the dec. to come back.
Whoa, this is kind of unexpected... I really fell out of favor with Big Dog as far as some of his conduct while he was in Philly. That and he's yet another guy who doesn't play ANY defense, I dunno how much we need him. Then again, he gave the Bucks some really good years, and if he's willing to clean up his act, play hard, and be a leader for our young guys, I'd welcome him back. I just don't know if he can be that type of guy...
Popovich taught the old dog some new tricks when he played a few months in San Antonio. I don't think the Bucks can get the same results, but with the Spurs Big Dog was stepping in and taking charges, shared the basketball, and had some key defensive stops. If he didn't leave on bad terms, then maybe it's ok to bring Big Dog back and let him finish out his career where it started. He'd be a nice mentor for Ersan.
I didn't see this coming but I can understand why Big Dog is doing this. If you look at it, ever since he left Milwaukee in 2002 his career has been going down hill. He averaged 20 on a bad team with the Hawks, had a sub-par season in 2003 with the Sixers, and didn't even play a whole lot this past season. The question is, will the Bucks take him back...
At first I was very shocked to see Robinson wanting to leave the Spurs who he won a ring with, but when I read it over, it seemed like a good plan. With a couple years left of good basketball in him, see what he can do and maybe he can resemble what he once was. But like C.K. said, will Milwaukee want him?
