Great pickup off eBay this past week, I was able to scoop up a San Antonio Spurs David Robinson Hardwood Classics Swingman jersey.
The details are done up in screen printed tackle twill. This is the road style jersey worn by the Spurs in the mid-90's. This was also the season David Robinson led the league in scoring [29.8 PPG] and became one of the few players to register a quadruple-double [34 points, 10, rebounds, 10 assists, 10 blocks].
Born in Key West, FL on 6 August 1965, David Robinson was drafted by the San Antonio Spurs with the #1 overall pick in 1987 and made his professional debut two years later. He would receive the Rookie Of The Year Award for his efforts. Throughout his career, he'd accomplish some of the greatest feats on the court and earn many awards throughout his time in the NBA. Furthermore, players given the NBA's Community Assist Award receive the David Robinson Plaque; an award named in his honour.
