Glenn “Big Dog” Robinson, a star at Roosevelt, Purdue and eventual No. 1 NBA Draft pick, will be a part of the program along with Glenn’s mom, Shantelle Clay. “When I told him about this and obviously getting older — he just turned 49 — it’s crazy to see him getting older and he’s constantly wanting to give back,” Robinson said of his father, who lives in Atlanta. “He’s constantly telling me stories to empower other kids, what he did in his daily routines, how he was able to be successful in college and the league.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo passes Glenn Robinson on the Bucks all-time scoring list
The limited capacity home crowd did have reason to cheer from early on, however, as Antetokounmpo became the third player in Bucks history to reach the 12,000-point plateau when he made his first free throw of the game at the 9:40 mark of the first quarter. The ovation was loud and sustained enough that 76ers guard Seth Curry paused to look up the scoreboard to see the milestone.
Eric Nehm: Giannis Antetokounmpo just passed Glenn Robinson for second place on the Bucks’ all-time scoring list with 12,012 career points. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is still a little ways off in first with 14,211 points.
Jason Anderson: Kings injury report: Harrison Barnes (foot), Richaun Holmes (knee), Glenn Robinson III (knee) are all questionable for Saturday’s game against the Bulls.
Glenn Robinson III–who was acquired from the Golden State Warriors at the deadline–was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2014 NBA Draft. As a gift, his father, who also played in the NBA, bought him a Porsche and the younger Robinson took it for a spin. He told a story about how and his three friends were in the car leaving a Target and he got pulled over.
In fact, since the NBA moved the 3-point line back in 1997, no one has come close to topping Jordan’s mark of midrange makes in a season. Most midrange buckets in a season (since 1997-98) 1997-98 Michael Jordan: 671. 2005-06 Dirk Nowitzki: 564. 2003-04 Kevin Garnett: 540. 2000-01 Glenn Robinson: 506. 2005-06 Kobe Bryant: 502. 2008-09 Dirk Nowitzki: 501.
