- David Robinson is called
- "The Admiral" because he
- attended college at the
- United States Naval
- Academy. He also has the
- kind of great all-around talent that allows him
- to take over a basketball game just as an
- admiral runs a fleet of ships.
-
- David enjoyed playing baseball when he was
- a kid, and he played one year of high school
- basketball at Osbourn Park High School, in
- Manassas, Virginia. He went on to the naval
- academy, where he was almost not accepted
- because of his height. He was 6' 7 ┬╜" at
- the time and just made it under the height
- limit. By the end of his sophomore year,
- David had grown another five inches!
