Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 947384, member: 652"] Read Bill Simmons book of Basketball and you realize Oscar Robertson's stats are overrated. Teams shot terribly and teams played a lot faster which made rebounds, points, assists available. Oscar couldn't win a title in Cincinnati and rode Kareem's coattails for his title in Milwaukee. Kareem saying Oscar was better than Magic is nuts, and is just Kareem protecting his legacy. He played with Oscar past his prime and with Magic during his prime. Kareem is bitter that Magic's Game 6 performance in 1980 overlooked all the work he had done and the sacrifice he made in staying in LA to get treatment for a Game 7 that never happened. Their is absolutely no doubt in my mind I would take Magic in his prime over Oscar. Magic is by far the greatest PG in NBA history and its not even close. Oscar is in the discussion for the 2nd greatest SG over all time behind Michael Jordan with Jerry West, Kobe Bryant. [/QUOTE]
