Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 1779661, member: 652"] Oscar Robertson was really well chronicled in Bill Simmons excellently written NBA book. He was a great player but not a great teammate and played in an ERA of awful shooting and high possessions. The awful shooting and high possessions helped account for his stats of a season averaging a triple double. Magic's 1981-82 season of 18.6 PPG, 9.6 RPG, 9.5 APG are IMO more impressive because of the 1980s competition and better shooting overall in the league than Oscar's triple double season. Oscar was a great player an all time top 10 guy but his attitude and only 1 title don't put him in the league of Magic/Jordan/Kobe/Lebron for me. Oscar vs. Jerry West is the debate IMO. [/QUOTE]
