FAYETTEVILLE — On the basketball court, Alvin Robertson was an All-American guard at the University of Arkansas and four-time NBA All-Star for the San Antonio Spurs and Milwaukee Bucks.
Off the court, Robertson has been arrested 17 times — first in 1990, and most recently in 2018 — and charged with offenses including assault, burglary, criminal trespassing, resisting arrest and violating parole.
It makes for a complicated legacy.
“Whatever Alvin has done off the court, that has nothing to do with Alvin the basketball player in Arkansas history and what he was as an NBA player,” said Darrell Walker, who was Robertson’s teammate with the Razorbacks and played against him in the NBA.
