Sports Illustrated writer Steve Aschburner has posted an article about San Antonio Spurs NBA player David Robinson and his G-Shock watch.

Robinson, this famous NBA superstar, this MVP candidate and scoring leader, this officer and gentleman and multimillionaire, was wearing the exact same model of watch as I had on my left wrist. It was a rubber watch, a G-Shock digital gizmo from Casio with assorted dials and buttons, half a toy actually, retailing for about $60. In a professional sports world of Rolexes and Cartiers, that Robinson would opt for something so completely utilitarian and unaffected impressed the heck out of me, in ways something shiny, gilded and baubled never would have.

It's great to see G-Shocks get some attention and respect in the world of professional sports.
