David Robinson gave props to former teammate Tim Duncan during his Hall of Fame acceptance speech on Friday.

"Timmy, my man," Robinson said while looking over at a Spurs contingent in the audience that included Duncan, coach Gregg Popovich, owner Peter Holt and general manager R.C. Buford. "The greatest power forward ever to play the game, in my opinion."

Turning back to the entire crowd, Robinson admitted that he was praying San Antonio would land a player like Duncan way back when.

"Have you ever gotten down on your knees and prayed for something real hard? (Timmy) was my answered prayer."
