During his NBA career, Robinson averaged 21.1 ppg, scoring 20,790 points, and averaged 10.6 rebounds/game. He led the NBA in scoring in 1993/94 with 29.8 ppg, in rebounding in 1990/91 with 13.0 rpg, and in blocked shots in 1991/92 with 4.49 bpg. In 1994, in a game against the Los Angeles Clippers, Robinson scored 71 points, becoming only the fourth NBA player to score 70 or more points in a game, after Elgin Baylor, Wilt Chamberlain, and David Thompson (Kobe Bryant would later join this club, scoring 81 in a game in 2006). In February 1994, in a game against the Detroit Pistons, Robinson became only the fourth NBA player to record a quadruple-double, with 34 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, and 10 blocks.

Internationally, Robinson played on the 1988 US Olympic team that won a bronze medal, but he is best known for having been a member of the 1992 US Olympic Dream Team, the first time that NBA professionals had been allowed to compete at the Olympics. The Dream Team won the gold medal easily and Robinson again played at the Olympics in 1996, on Dream Team II, becoming the first American man to win three Olympic basketball medals when they also won gold. As a collegian, Robinson also won a silver medal at the 1987 Pan American Games and a gold medal at the 1986 World Championships.

The Admiral was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009. He was chosen as a member of the US Olympic Hall of Fame in 2008. Both of those were individual honors, but in 2010 and 2009 respectively, the 1992 Dream Team was also chosen for those Halls of Fame.
