qwksilver Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) I remember following him when I was in High School, thought it was cool someone from Buffalo made it to the NBA. Another way too young! Edited August 29, 2020 by qwksilver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I was working at the Canisius basketball camp - and the day after he got drafted, he was a guest instructor. Everybody was congratulating him, and I was thinking he's a 2nd rounder, he's probably not going to make it - or not amount to much. In high school, the other Robinson - Keith, who went to Notre Dame was better...............Wow - was I wrong. What a great career he had.

Pete Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I met Cliff when he was at UConn. I was visiting a friend in dorm, and gigantic black man was sitting down ripping a big bong hit. My friend said “hey Pete, this is Cliff”. I’m like “holy *****- - you are Cliff Robinson! You rock at basketball and your from Buffalo! Let’s go UConn! Let’s go Buffalo!” Weed, Bills, and a common friend- we bonded that afternoon. Years later UConn won national championship. Cliff pulled up in this pimped out Caddy, ostentatious and borderline tacky- Cliff exited. Hey Cliff- how are you doing? “What’s up Buffalo?” Uncle Cliffy remembered me. RIP Cliff you were a good man 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 No joke, I have seen this thread title--and moved past it--several times now. Each time I thought it was announcing the death of this famous actor: Turns out Cliff Robertson died 9 years ago, and this thread is discussing a basketball player. RIP to both Cliffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
