Not many basketball players spend their entire career playing for the same team, but "The Admiral" did. David Robinson took his nickname from his military service prior to becoming a professional player and ran the center of the court for the San Antonio Spurs for fourteen whole years. He's widely regarded as being one of the greatest centers in NBA history.
Robinson has enjoyed huge success in business since retiring from the sport, forming the Admiral Capital Group in 2008, with the idea of investing in ideas and business that will provide not only financial returns, but social ones as well. The company has a portfolio worth over $100m and includes the world leading hospitality brand Centerplate. He also created and paid for the Carver Academy, a private school focused on developing and providing opportunity for inner city children in the San Antonio area.
