David Robinson: Signs of progress for the Buffalo Niagara job market, but uncertainty looms

There are hopeful signs that the Buffalo Niagara region has shaken off the stagnation in hiring that held back the local job market for most of last year. But there’s also cause for discouragement in the January jobs report Thursday from the State Labor Department. Revised data, based on more complete employment reports from companies, shows that the region still has nearly 36,000 fewer jobs than at the start of the pandemic – a much bigger gap than the initial reports indicated.

What if the Spurs Passed on David Robinson in 1987?

For most of our living memory, the San Antonio Spurs have showcased brilliance and excellence as one of the best-run organizations in all professional sports. As silly as it sounds, the brilliance of the Spurs’ organization plus some lottery luck are the only reasons the Spurs still call San Antonio home in the first place. The first move the Spurs made toward their reputation was when they drafted David Robinson first overall in the 1987 NBA Draft.

David Robinson

The San Antonio Spurs took a gamble when they selected David “The Admiral” Robinson with the No. 1 overall pick in the 1987 NBA Draft. The 7-foot-1 center was the reigning NCAA Player of the Year, but he had attended the United States Naval Academy, which typically required graduates like Robinson to serve a five-year obligation in the military as an officer. According to the league rules in 1987, Robinson would have been able to re-enter the draft rather than sign with the Spurs once his military service was complete.
