Retired NBA star Caron Butler is the first to react to Robinson’s passing on Twitter.

Robinson entered the NBA as a second-round pick by the Portland Trail Blazers in 1989, becoming one of the best draft steals of all time and playing for the franchise for eight seasons. The 6-foot-10 forward was heralded as being ahead of his time for his ability to score from the perimeter like a wing with range extending all the way to the 3-point line. In addition to that, he was a versatile defender capable of guarding multiple positions. In 19 NBA seasons, he has one All-Star appearance, a Sixth Man of the Year award, and was named to 2 All-Defensive teams.

The Husky alum was affectionately referred to as “Uncle Cliffy” for a playoff victory dance he performed during the 1992 Western Conference Finals. The nickname stuck and was even more appropriate as the aging Robinson was still hanging around and contributing admirably in his late 30s with the Golden State Warriors and New Jersey Nets before hanging his sneakers for good following the 2007 season. For a while, Robinson held the record of being the first NBA player to play in three different decades before being joined by San Antonio Spurs legend Tim Duncan later.

Robinson also starred in a season of hit reality show Survivor.

We extend our deepest condolences to Robinson’s family.
