Thursday Throwback Posterization: The Admiral on Dennis Scott

This week's Throwback Posterizations features "The Admiral" David Robinson with a driving dunk over the Magic's Dennis Scott. The play occurs shortly before the 30 second mark, so you might want to skip ahead. According to the guy who uploaded the video, this play was from March 6, 1994 (Shaq's birthday) and the Spurs came back from a 15 point 4th quarter deficit for the win. Both the Magic and Spurs would go into the playoffs as the 4th seed, and lose in the first round to the Pacers and Jazz, respectively.

For some reason, the Magic decided to have Shaq guard Antoine Carr rather than David Robinson, which leads to Robinson burning Larry Krystkowiak off the dribble. Robinson then goes up strong on Dennis Scott for the dunk and 1. His momentum takes him to the floor and his leg swings towards Penny Hardaway, prompting him to swipe it away out of frustration.

While this is a pretty raw dunk, it's somewhat overshadowed by Dennis Rodman falling on top of Robinson and hugging him on the floor in celebration. It appears as though he even tries to kiss his head while wearing a protective mask. What a maniac. Robinson, always the reserved type, seems pretty uncomfortable with Rodman's passionate camaraderie.
