The Greatest Athlete To Wear #50 is-“The Admiral” David Robinson.

Notable #50-s- Baseball’s J.R. Richard was headed towards Cooperstown before a stroke ended his career in 1980. Jamie Moyer has pitched forever. Looks like he has finally came to the end of the line though. Sid Fernandez had some fine years for the Mets but never quite seemed to fulfill his promise. In football Mike Singletary [the runner-up at #50} is one of the greatest linebackers in NFL history. Rebecca Lobo was a great college basketball player at UCONN. Goose Tatum was one of the legendary Harlem Globetrotters ever.

The Greatest Athlete To Wear #50 is David Robinson, the former San Antonio Spurs legendary center. Robinson was a key player in two of the Spurs championships. He was named one of the 50 greatest NBA players ever. Robinson was a late bloomer. He went to the Naval Academy without much fanfare at all and left one of the great college basketball stories ever. Has any team in the NBA had two great players like Robinson and Duncan who were also by all  accounts great people too?
