PSA CardFacts excerpts:Oscar Palmer Robertson (November 24, 1938-) made an immediate impact in the NBA being awarded the 1961 NBA Rookie of the Year, is the only player in the history of the NBA to average a triple-double for an entire season, and honored for his collegiate career with the College Player of the Year Award being renamed the Oscar Robertson Trophy. Oscar attended the University of Cincinnati where he was an All-American, named the college Player of the Year and won the NCAA National Championship in each of his three seasons with the Bearcats. When he left Cincinnati, he held 14 NCAA records and 19 school records. In 1960, Robertson was a member of the gold medal winning basketball team in the Rome Olympic Summer Games with fellow Hall of Famers Jerry West, Jerry Lucas and Walt Bellamy. He was taken as the Number 1 overall (territorial) pick by the Cincinnati Royals in the 1960 NBA Draft where he played for 10 seasons (1960-1970) before being traded to the Milwaukee Bucks (1970-1974). With Cincinnati, The Big O, as he was called, led the league in assists six times, four times in free throws, twice in free throw percentage and in 1964 was name d the NBA’s Most Valuable Player. After being traded to the Bucks, Robertson teamed with second year center, Kareem Abdul Jabbar to win the Bucks first and only NBA Championship over the Baltimore Bullets. Robertson was a 12-time NBA All-Star selection and thrice was named NBA All-Star Game MVP. He was named to nine All-NBA First Teams and two All-NBA Second Teams. Robertson, at 6’5” weighing in at 220 lbs., was the NBA’s first “big guard” as he revolutionized the position for players like Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan. Oscar finished his career in 1974 with 26,710 points 7,804 total rebounds and 9,887 assists. In 1976, amidst the ABA-NBA merger, the Oscar Robertson suit was filed in court (named after the president of the Players Association) attacking the antitrust laws of the league and essentially creating free agency. Oscar Robertson was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1980. In 1996, The Big O was named to the 50 Greatest Players in NBA history list. He maintains the notion that even today, in his seventies, he could average a triple-double for an entire season.
