Glenn Big dog Robinson - The Verdict

He demanded a 100M/ 10 Years contract aftter being selected with the 1st pick in the '94 draft by the bucks.

He once was labelled a bust. He has not played this season and migh not return, due to bone spurs in the knee.

What is the verdict on his career as a whole?

Coming outta Purdue, he was nice but I think he's the reason they stopped giving unproven Rookies all that loot without playing a single minute of pro-ball.

Overrated .....

He's like a million other dudes...could score, but never do anything else. Like rebound, pass, or play defense. He had a great mid-range game though. He's done.

Another thing, I still think he could be useful as a 6th man for some young teams, hes still 33, and may be found new energy after sitting a season, keep in mind he averaged 10ppg last year.

Whore. Just plain and simply, all that I'll remember from his career is him whoring a ring with the Spurs last year.

Is he out of the league? I thought he just braided his hair and changed his name to Carmelo Anthony.

The Verdict: Guilty of overrating himself.

He had a nice midrange game as someone mentioned but nothing that warranted his price. His defense was really lackluster. I think he figured since they played help zone/defenses in college that when he got to the NBA he would never have to man-up.

When he was w/ the Bucks they ran alot of plays for him, it used to annoy me it was always a pick & roll near the top of the key every dang time. He can set shoot but running around on offense or defense is not his forte.

one of the worst players to average 20 a game

Anda the proof that winning a championship is not teh way to evaluate a career.
