Widely regarded as one of the greatest centers of all time, David Robinson played out his whole career for the San Antonio Spurs, who initially drafted him with the First overall pick in the 1987 NBA Draft.

He went on to be named the Rookie of the Year unanimously after averaging eye-popping numbers (see above) and leading the Spurs to the playoffs with the greatest single-season turnaround in NBA History at that time.

One of the most prolific shot blockers in NBA History, the Admiral averaged an insane 3 blocks per game for his entire career and is also one of only four players to record a quadruple-double in an NBA Game.

For his contributions to the game of Basketball, he was enshrined into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, once as a member of the 1992 Dream Team (2010) and other, for his individual career in 2009.
