 Right guys, how we doing? Welcome back to another video. I'm actually really enjoying this. This is um, this is something new something fun I mean, I've like I've said previously, you know, I have watched a bit of NBA My mate Tim is a fucking sports nut. You think I'm all about sports my mate Tim knows everything EPL fucking golf NBA he even knows shit about NFL rugby Like I said soccer EPL. He's he's a huge sports fan and he knows a lot more than I'll ever do I tried to get him on a podcast, but he just doesn't want a bar of it He doesn't want anything to do with with YouTube none of this shit. So It's probably It's probably best that I don't bring him on because I'd just be absolutely shown up in pretty much every aspects But either way guys We're looking at Oscar Robertson number 13 on the top 30 NBA players of all time Oscar Robertson and I'm assuming by the looks of the photo I mean The refs are wearing fucking pants. The refs are wearing long Trousers that's something else. All right guys. I'm assuming you played in the 60s But all of the more will be revealed let's have a look at his blurb before we get into the video Holy shit, it's it's long strap in guys get your popcorn While we can argue all day and night about the value of the triple double in today's position less game positionless game positionless Does that mean every player can play all positions? I'm assuming that's what that means when I think of triple double. I think of Russell Westbrook But when Oscar Robertson became the first player in NBA history to average a triple double over a season It was nothing short of monumental point guards weren't supposed to be six foot five scoring machines They could get a bucket from anywhere on the court like the big O could the big O big Oscar Robertson 65 point guard that's Sizable Nor were they expected to rip down double digit boards on a nightly basis But Robertson broke the mold almost 20 years before Magic Johnson made his debut He almost averaged a triple double his rookie season before his iconic campaign during the 61 62 season When he was good for 30.8 points per game 12.5 rebounds per game and 11.4 average assist per game per night We all know Russell Westbrook Shit, I do actually LeBron James I know him to and at least a handful of other stars can mess around and get a triple double practically whenever they want You know as much as I hate to believe that's actually probably true whenever they want doesn't matter LeBron James can score. He's obviously gonna score over 10 points if he wants rebounds I mean he can stand in the paint more than normal and get 10 plus rebounds if he wants 10 plus assists. I mean he can drive to the basket and flick it out to some other count who can you know Geez I guess that does much. Yeah, I guess that's probably true They can do it whenever they want either way But only Westbrook has put up the seasonal averages three times in fact to match Robertson's brilliance and Russ Isn't anywhere near the offensive juggernaut Robertson was the big O was a nightmare matchup because he scored in Ways few were able to figure out and this is in the early 60s guys the 1964 NBA MVP the 1961 rookie of the year a 12-time all-star and 11-time all NBA selection NBA 75 I Can keep going But I won't his college career is practically unmatched But since we're talking professional basketball here know that he was the only player other than Wilk Chamberlain and Bill Russell to win an MVP between 1960 and 68 Holy shit. Well, that's the big three. Isn't it? He also played a huge role in the NBA Instituting free agency when he bought a lawsuit against the league in 1970 that challenged the legality of the league's proposed merger with the ABA the merits of the draft and the reserve clause that prevented players from pursuing contracts with any team they wished Okay, so he's a man of the people He's a man of the people. I've forgotten his name. I'm really sorry guys These you know, it's it's these first moments when you come across a name come across a player put a face to the name That you can forget them relatively quickly. All right, Oscar Robertson highlights here. We go Are we gonna see some color? Apparently we will until I'm impressed. Let's go Actually, sorry, I've got to go backs. What was his height six six five six five averaging a triple double All right Sometime the draft is not very kind to certain basketball players Because they'll put you with a team and they want you to win Oscar knew he had to work harder because Cincinnati was not isn't it a baseball team on a big team as in the A teams go No, when you go on the average 31 points 12 rebounds 11 assists, but not and you don't win. What else can you do? Not much Look at this footage this must be remastered. It has to be have a look at it. This is as smooth as as silk Basketball Oscar Robinson of the Cincinnati Royals as good and all a little bit of a baseline move Nice. Nice. I like it. Anyone who ever stepped on a basketball floor Well, if you had to slam that down like dr. J You know this this video would be completely over, but he didn't as a player So he likes the figure figure roll that was a call it. Oh, yeah, bit of a big-range jumper Have a look at this footage that's insane. How have they done this? Don's shot rims the basket and Robinson rebounds for the east Another super fast break Sam Jones. I'm the big old super fast Super fast Have a check. I Guess I need to see when am I gonna be impressed? I'm not quite sure Assist another assist He's an assist machine every look at that Winner of the league's playmaking title for the fourth time last season He still managed to be third. Oh the hustle. Look at it It's an absolute hustler Always looking for the assist And he scored 30 of his own points per game I think that's that's no, that's where we that's where I Mean that's a that's a dr. J fucking skyhook from the free throw line But it's from his own free throw line and it's for an assist. So look that We're gonna call it quits here. Thanks for watching and I'll see you soon
