Great player and even a better person. Had a chance interact with him on a regular basis when I lived in Baton Rouge. We played against each other during the noon basketball game at the YMCA on Foster drive. He was by far the best athlete, but he was always humble and never arrogant about it. One day one of the guys became a little irritated, feeling that Robert had fouled him a little too hard on the drive to the basket, so he swung wildly and hit Robert in the back. Robert grabbed the guy and politely asked...."do you really want to go there with me?" The guy took a deep breath and replied "no sir, I do not" lol

Remember Robert well doing my time at Grambling - he was a monster on the football field.

I remember he put a hit on Roger Staubach when the Falcons played Dallas.
