Robinson on Tim Duncan: "Tim is probably the best thing that ever happened to me in my career. When somebody like that comes in, they can only enhance what you’re doing. Playing together was the best thing for both of us. I think we both understood that." https://t.co/fwzI4di7fE

“Tim was maybe the best thing that happened to me in my whole career. Obviously, having owners like Red McCombs and Peter Holt was fantastic and coaches like Larry Brown and Pop were phenomenal.
“But I can say that Tim is probably the best thing that ever happened to me. He helped me as an individual to grow up and be a better a player.
“He helped us achieve the long-term goals that we set, winning championships. And he helped us become the model franchise over a 25-year period.”
