Men of Integrity, May/June 2000
Tall Enough to Stoop
Key Bible Verse: "He
must become greater; I must become less" (John 3:30). Bonus Reading: John 3:22-30
David
Robinson has been the centerpiece of the San Antonio Spurs ever since he arrived
in 1987 as the No. 1 draft pick. But the Spurs never were the best.
Then in 1997, they drafted
Tim Duncan, college player of the year, from Wake Forest. In the first season,
Duncan was first team all-NBA; Robinson hadn't been.
Most deal with such an
event with a scowl and vitriol. Robinson devoted himself to mentoring Duncan,
to making him the best possible player. What Robinson would do, he explained,
would be to fit himself in around Duncan's wondrous game. Duncan is playing
far beyond his years only because Robinson has taught —and is teaching—him
how.
—Douglas S. Looney The C.S. Monitor
