Uncle Cliffy is
the headbanded hero in Portland who won the 1993 sixth man award, but
soon moved into the starting lineup. Cliff is a versatile player who can
play all of the front court positions. In 1995 he added the 3 pointer to
his arsenal of weapons, competing in the 1996 3-Point Shootout on
all-star Saturday. He finished his college carer as UConn's fourth
all-time leading scorer with 1,664 points. He has good hands for a big
man, being able to help on the full-court press and picking up
a respectable amount of steals. Robinson was always a steady performer
for the Blazers. In fact, he opened his career with a Blazer record
461 consecutive games played. Even in his rookie season he was the most
reliable bench
player with the best scoring average. Robinson was the Blazers' leading
scorer in 1995-96, but did not have a good year in 1996-97. He has
played in one all-star game, coming off the bench in 1994. In 1997, he
signed a one year, one million dollar deal with the Phoenix Suns after the
Blazers failed to re-sign him, renouncing his rights to sign young big man
Brian Grant. Cliff was the Suns second leading scorer that year, and
they re-signed him to a one year contract worth 3.5 million dollars on
1-25-99. They then gave him a four year deal worth 29 million dollars on
August 1, 1999. He was named to the All-Defensive Second Team in
2000 and again in 2002. On July 18, 2001 Phoenix traded Clifford Robinson
to Detroit for
Jud Buechler and John Wallace. On August 21, 2003, Detroit traded Clifford Robinson and Pepe Sanchez to Golden State for Bob Sura. On February 14, 2005, Golden State traded Clifford Robinson to New Jersey for a second round draft pick in 2005 and a second round draft pick in 2007. New Jersey re-signed him to play in 2005-2006. On August 11, 2006 New Jersey re-signed Clifford Robinson to a two year, $3.5 million contract with the second year at the team's option.
