Cliff, Cliffy, Uncle Cliffy as he was affectionately known to Portland Trail Blazers fans and Clifford as he preferred somewhere along the line in an 18-year NBA career, he was intriguing for both his mercurial nature and consistency, beloved in Connecticut for his contributions to a UConn program beginning to show its potential. Robinson has left the world, dead at 53. (Hartford Courant)
