    I believe Oscar averaged a triple double in 1961-1962 The same year Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points and averaged like 50.5 ppg , dang there must have been some sucky players in the NBA back than

    Oscar Robertson didn't put up such great numbers because the other players in the league sucked. Playing in the 1980's he probably could have done the same thing (same with Wilt). Of course in today's game a lot of TEAMS struggle to get 50 points a game because the pace has slowed down so much. The league had more talent, per team back when those guys played because there were only like 8 teams, not 29.

    Nobody has mentioned my favorite "nickname" - World B. Free (yeah I know he had it legally changed to that). As for current players, give me Fred "the Mayor" Hoiberg.
