Robinson was selected a McDonald's All-America following an exceptional high school career at Emery High School, where he finished as the leading scorer in California boy's high school basketball history with a total of 3,361 points (breaking the previous record held by Tracy Murray).[2] He scored 19 points, arguably outplaying the more highly regarded Rasheed Wallace in the 1993 game.[3] He also recorded 1,187 career blocks at Emery, the all-time record for high school basketball according to the National Federation of State High School Associations: he had 241 as a freshman, 281 as a sophomore, 334 as a junior and 331 as a senior.[4] His 334 blocks in 1991–92 were an all-time record for blocks in a single season from 1992 to 2009, when it was broken by Angelo Chol's 337.[4]
Robinson was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks with the 29th pick of the 2nd round of the 1996 NBA draft[5] after leaving Arkansas a season early. He later signed with the Philadelphia 76ers,[6] but never played in the NBA.[7] Robinson ended up playing professionally in Italy, Greece, Israel, Puerto Rico and France.[8][9]
Robinson's coach in Greece referred to him as "one of the greatest underachievers I've ever been involved with."[7]
