David Robinson
1990
Though he entered the 1987 draft and was selected with top overall pick by San Antonio, the Spurs had to wait two years while the 7-foot-1 fulfilled his service in the Navy. When he joined the team in 1989, Robinson led San Antonio to the then greatest single-season turnaround in league history, leading a 21-61 team to a 56-26 record. Robinson earned his first of 10 All-Star appearances, while going on to earn the Rookie of the Year award with averages of 24.3 points, 12.0 rebounds and 3.9 blocks that season. He also posted a double-double (15 points, 10 rebounds) in his first All-Star Game, a 130-113 loss for the West.
After winning two NBA championships, an NBA MVP award, a Defensive Player of the Year award and two Olympic gold medals, "The Admiral" earned a spot among the 2009 Hall of Fame class.
