Oscar Robertson averages for his FIRST FIVE years: 30/10/10 :

[oarabbus]

Weak era or not, faster pace/inflated stats or not, this guy averaged:

30.3 points/10.3 rebounds/10.6 assists in his first 5 years in the league
30.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 9.7 assists as a rookie (!)
30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds and 11.4 assists in his 2nd year

That **** would be impressive in a god damn YMCA basketball league, much less the NBA.

Weak era.

[Stringer Bell]

Faster paced era, but still, no one else did it.

He led the league in assists 7 in his first 9 seasons and was top 5 in scoring every year.

I have him in my top 10. Many "experts" also have him top 10 too, not ISH though.

Oscar averaged 29/8/10 on 49%FG his first 10 seasons. All of these seasons were before joining Kareem's Bucks in 70-71 already past his prime.

BigO was a 6'5" starting PG in a very mediocre talented league...I give him props for what he did, as that was the competition back then, but let's not be facetious in thinking others like Magic, Lebron, MJ could not do the same or better

[riseagainst]

Oscar is just another Wilt. Stat padder who can't deliver the wins for his team. Neither really deserve to be in the top 10, this is where stats can be deceiving.

Shut it fool. Oscar is easily top 10. Having someone like Kobe or Hakeem ranked above him is blasphemous. Easily two of the most overrated players of all time.

Yeah those 3 could have but people act like anyone could have. He was at once considered goat material. No one else in his era was even close. He's a top 5 perimeter player all time with mj,bird,magic, and bron.

Remember when Oscar won a title as the best player on the team? Good times. Were you watching then?
