Robinson was raised in St. Louis and Elgin, Illinois. He starred in the NBA with the Milwaukee Bucks from 1968–1970. He was also a key player on the Los Angeles Lakers’ 1971-72 Championship team that won 33 consecutive games, an all-time NBA record. Wilt Chamberlain regarded him as the best shooter on that team and the Lakers’ announcer, Chick Hearns, gave him the nickname, “Instant Points”.
