Read on your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet or Kindle device! In David Robinson: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Greatest Centers, you will learn the inspirational story of one of basketball's premier 90s centers, David Robinson. David Robinson was the face of the San Antonio Spurs franchise before Tim Duncan succeeded him. In that time period, The Admiral was a force to be reckoned with, participating in multiple All-Star appearances, while also leading the Spurs to the 1999 NBA Championship. A former league MVP, it was no surprise that David Robinson was inducted into the Hall of Fame twice, once for his NBA career, and once for his participation in the 1992 Olympics. In this book, we'll learn more about The Admiral's journey into the NBA, his impact on the game, and his everlasting legacy as one of the greatest centers to dominate the 90s era of basketball. Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Childhood, High School Years College Basketball at Navy 1987 NBA Draft Military Service David Robinson's Early NBA Career The Twin Towers Rise David Robinson's Personal Life Robinson's Impact and Legacy An excerpt from the book: When looking at what most basketball players are looking to do when it comes to their future in the sport, the brightest stars are often thinking about trying to elevate their game to be noticed by what many consider as the best programs in college basketball. And with the evolution of technology, it seems easier for someone to have their highlight videos noticed by scouts from programs at Duke University, the University of North Carolina, or Syracuse University. Back in the 1980s, it was significantly harder to get noticed. However, most programs would have never been expected to develop a player who would become one of the greatest in the National Basketball Association. Players like Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson were not likely to put programs like the U.S. Naval Academy at the top of their respective wish lists when it came to college basketball recruiting. However, David Robinson is more of a unique case than many would think. For one, basketball was never really a passion for him, and he only played one season in high school before he enlisted in the U.S. Navy, following in his father's footsteps. He also jumped up in height from below six feet as a freshman and all the way up to nearly seven feet when he first walked on the campus in Annapolis, Maryland. Nor did Robinson think he was going to have a future in basketball, despite winning the Wooden Award in 1987 and being a top choice in the 1987 NBA Draft. But Robinson would have to wait two years before making his professional basketball debut because of his obligation to serve two years as an active duty member of the Navy. Many thought it was an unusual situation and wondered if the San Antonio Spurs made the right choice. For the Spurs, the results were well worth the wait.

Book excerpt: The Knicks of the 1990s competed like champions but fell short of their goal. An eclectic group who took divergent, in many cases fascinating paths to New York, they forged an identity as a rugged, relentless squad. Led by a superstar center Patrick Ewing and two captivating coaches--Pat Riley and Jeff Van Gundy--they played David to the Chicago Bulls' Goliath. Despite not winning a championship, they were embraced as champions by New Yorkers and their rivalries with the Bulls, Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat defined NBA basketball for a decade. Drawing on original interviews with players, coaches and others, this narrative rediscovers the brilliance of the Knicks, Ewing and his colorful supporting cast--Charles Oakley, John Starks, Larry Johnson and Latrell Sprewell--in the glory days of Madison Square Garden.
