“There
simply isn’t a way to describe what David Robinson has meant to the Spurs
franchise, to the San Antonio community and to sports fans around the world. He
is one of a kind. He is a true role model - a tremendous athlete, a family man,
a pillar in the community - but most of all he has a huge heart. He cares about
people and over the years he has touched so many lives and helped so many
people.” - Spurs Owner Peter Holt
