Before retiring in 2003, David Robinson played center for the San Antonio Spurs for the duration of his career. He created and sponsored a non-profit private school for inner-city kids called Carver Academy a few years before he put his basketball uniform away. In 2012, the San Antonio initiative became a charter school for the public and was renamed to IDEA Carver. David is also highly active in the school, as he is almost always assisting in various school activities.
