The Admiral is an easy guy to forget sometimes. He has never been controversial or an attention seeker and unless something like his recent Hall of Fame enshrinement comes around, there is little cause to talk about him. So it was the least I could do to pull together a few classic David Robinson videos related to advertisements he did in the good old days.
David Robinson and Casio (1991) — this is a little seen advert with some now retro watches
Mister Robinson’s Neighbourhood – Nike (1991) — David shows us his eloquent acting skills (check the pic of Mr Stern)
Mister Robinson and Charles Barkley – Nike (1991) — the Admiral manages to hold his own with Chuck
Nike Air Force 180 (late 80s/early 90s) — I’m unsure when this strange computerized advert was made!
Robinson and Duncan — Edge Pro Gel (2003) — more than anything a rare look at Duncan with personality!
Kellogg’s Raisin Bran and Robinson (1993) — he’s just so wholesome, isn’t he?
NBA Alcohol Free Prom Graduation – David Robinson (1991) — who else would you choose for this ad?
Stay in School – David Robinson (1991)
Nike – Mister Robinson and Rudolph Firkusny (1990) — David was well known as a pianist
Corn Flakes commercial (1992) — Olympics related advert.
Nike – Mister Robinson with Gary Payton (1991) — check out fresh-faced rookie GP.
Nike – Dream Team cartoon (1992) — this has been featured here before.
Any others I’ve missed? Comment away with it…
