My Take
Glenn Robinson is one of those players I appreciate more in hindsight. The 1994 number one pick out of Purdue, the Naismith and Wooden winner, the Big Dog, he carried enormous expectation into Milwaukee and quietly delivered for years. What moves me most is the ending: a championship ring with the 2005 Spurs, almost a quiet reward at the close of a long road. He was never the loudest superstar, just a reliable 6-foot-7 scorer who did the job. I have a soft spot for craftsmen like that, and Robinson, born in Gary, Indiana, fits the mold perfectly.
