On March 15, 2024, Holdsworth President Dr. Lindsay Whorton interviewed former Spurs basketball player David Robinson, Sr., San Antonio civic leader and urban developer David Robinson, Jr., and Kara Allen, Chief People, Impact and Belonging Officer for Spurs Sports & Entertainment.  

The conversation was part of “Place the Ladder,” a series featuring iconic Texan leaders like Robinson, a ten-time NBA All-Star and two-time Olympic Gold Medalist who is so passionate about education that he founded Carver Academy, a K-8 school in San Antonio, after retiring from basketball.
