"It's been fun. These guys, they're playing hard, it's a close game so that's good," David Robinson said during half-time. "We haven't been able to come the past few years so now being able to see him live and see him grow up and be stronger as a man. it's a great time for us."

"You don't ever try to put your own things on your children, you try to let them grow into their own strengths, and watching him become a man has been amazing," the Admiral revealed.

"I miss it a little bit. When you're doing something kind of at a high level, there's no way to replace that in your life," he explained. "That was amazing. I got to do some other fun things but basketball was pretty cool."
