David Robinson still finds it amazing that 12 years after he played his last game in the NBA, fans will still line up to catch a glimpse of him.
“It’s fantastic,” said Robinson. “This community has really embraced me. It shows the power of the NBA globally because everywhere I go people have a tremendous love and respect for what I was able to do, so it feels good.”
Robinson appeared at the Sports Cards Plus in San Antonio on Monday, helping the store celebrate a $75,000 makeover. Fans formed a single line along the store front, which extended along Lockhill-Selma Road, hoping for a few seconds to say hello and request Robinson’s autograph.
