Alvin Robertson - A Little A. N R. (Small Vid)

Alvin Cyrrale Robertson (born July 22, 1962 in Barberton, Ohio) is a retired American basketball player who played in the National Basketball Association from 1984 to 1993, and for one final season in 1995-96.

Best known for his defense, the 6'3" Robertson played for ten years after being selected by the San Antonio Spurs with the seventh pick in the 1984 NBA Draft out of Crowder Junior College and the University of Arkansas. He also was a member of 1984 U.S. Olympic gold-medal team

In 1986, Robertson became the inaugural winner of the NBA Most Improved Player Award. This also marked the first of four National Basketball Association All-Star Game appearances for the guard (the others coming in 1987, 1988, and 1991). He also won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award in 1986.

Robertson still holds the top career steals-per-game average in the NBA, with 2.71 per contest over 779 career games. In 1985-86 he averaged a league-leading 3.67 steals per game, he was a three-time All-Star. A multi-dimensional player, Robertson is one of only four NBA players to record a quadruple-double (double digits in four statistical categories in a single game) when he registered 20 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals whilst playing for the Spurs against the Phoenix Suns. Robertson scored the first points in Toronto Raptors' history.

The former University of Oklahoma star is most highly regarded for his quick hands and a ball hawking defensive style that produced more than 200 steals in a season four times and two NBA All-Defensive first-team selections. He was also a capable outside shooter, a fine passer who generally ranked among the league's assist leaders, and a durable instigator of the fast break.<br /><br />Blaylock was selected by the New Jersey Nets with the 12th overall pick of the 1989 NBA Draft and settled quickly into Nets' rotation. He was traded to the Atlanta Hawks prior to the 1992--93 season, where he flourished under newly-signed coach Lenny Wilkens.

Bucks, 48pts Description:MJ wanted to celebrate his 40th career game in the real season with a sweep of the Bucks and ended up producing his 14th playoff game with over 40 points - which equated to a statistically stunning 35% of his playoff games hitting the 40 mark at the time. With defensive maestro Alvin Robertson sticking to him like glue and the Bucks clogging all the lanes, MJ took what the defense gave him and went to the jumper early on. Although he would score 23 points in the first half, his 8-18 shooting did not sit comfortably with him come halftime.<br /><br />In the 2nd half, the Bucks grappled hard to stay alive. MJ awoke. As if a switch was suddenly turned on, he immediately drained eight shots in a row in the 3rd and 4th quarters to put the Bulls up ahead. Shooting an incredible 11-14 in the 2nd half, it took a freak shot by the Bucks to avoid the sweep and thwart MJ's intensity over the last few plays.<br /><br />What is great about this game is that you can see MJ fine tuning the art of taking over a game as opposed to ruining team chemistry by making sure the best shot possible was given to the team. With 48 points and several minutes left in the game, MJ never forced a play to hit the 50 mark and instead, gave his open man the look. And while the Bucks eked out a win, the stage for the Bulls dynasty was set with the ultimate player polishing his ultimate team game.Title:Nothin' But Lady Magics Description:A video for the barberton lady magics basketball team.
