Want to know how to ruin a Spurs fan’s day? Just utter these five words: The 1995 Western Conference Finals. I’d be surprised if more than half of you are still reading, but I might be able to help alleviate some of the pain of that playoff series, especially when it comes to David Robinson’s performance.
There’s no denying that the 1995 season ended in disappointment for San Antonio, and I won’t try and convince you that Robinson outplayed Hakeem Olajuwon. If you were too young (or weren’t born yet) to remember the events of that series, there’s a good chance that the basketball community (more specifically, r/NBA) has convinced you that Robinson got his you-know-what handed to him by The Dream.
