About Oscar Robertson: Born Nov. 24, 1938, in Charlotte, Tenn., and
raised in Indianapolis, Oscar Robertson learned to play basketball on the
dirt courts of the inner city and refined his game through endless hours
of individual practice.
He first attracted national attention at Crispus Attucks High School,
where he led his team to a 45-game winning streak, two consecutive Indiana
state championships and a national championship, and was named "Mr.
Basketball" for the state of Indiana. Attucks was the first African-American
school and the first Indianapolis school to win the Indiana state crown.
At the University of Cincinnati, where he became known as "The Big
O," he led the Bearcats to the Final Four in 1959 and '60. He was a
three-time first team All-American, and the first player to lead the NCAA
in scoring three straight years or to win National College Player of the
Year honors three times.
Following graduation in 1960 with a B.S. degree in Business, he co-captained
the undefeated 1960 U.S. Olympic gold medalist team, often considered the
greatest basketball team ever assembled.

During his 14-year NBA career – ten with the Cincinnati Royals and four
with the Milwaukee Bucks – Robertson led his teams to 10 playoff appearances,
including an NBA championship with the Bucks in 1971. He was the NBA's Rookie
of the Year in 1961 and Most Valuable Player in 1964. He was a 12-time NBA
All-Star and was voted Most Valuable Player in three All-Star games. In
1961-62, he became the only player in NBA history ever to average a "triple
double" for an entire season. He led the league in free-throw percentage
twice and assists six times.
His career record of 9,887 assists stood for 17 years and his 26,710
points and 25.7 points per game average rank him seventh on the list of
all-time NBA scorers.
In 1998, the U.S. Basketball Writers renamed its annual player of the
year award the Oscar Robertson Trophy.
