David Robinson has an almost universally positive reputation.

I remember seeing a story when he was coming out for the draft. His coach at Navy said something to the effect of, "He was already at the max height for an incoming midshipman, with all possible waivers combined. I was in the superintendent's office PLEADING for him to sign the waiver. I swore I would never ask for anything again, like a kid wishing for a specific Christmas present."

The story then cut to a scene of Robinson's graduation from Annapolis and he is head and neck taller than everyone else.

He was something like 6-7 and grew to over 7 feet while at Navy. Basically grew too tall for every sea or aviation billet. They found some shore based administrative positions for him when he was in active duty.
