Robinson hopes to net business success

CHICAGO: Basketball legend David Robinson has conquered the sports landscape, collecting professional and college player of the year awards, two Olympic gold medals, two NBA titles and earning recognition as one of the greatest players ever.

Now the former San Antonio Spurs center is playing for gold of a different kind.

Robinson formed private equity firm Admiral Capital Group last year with a former Goldman Sachs executive, and this week they made their first investment, buying an undisclosed stake in food service company Centerplate.
