    Oscar Robertson

    Oscar sighting in Florida.

    Ran into NBA Legend & former Bearcat Oscar Robertson leaving the Cincinnati vs UCF football game. The original Mr Triple Double. Always have to appreciate Greatness when you get an opportunity. This chance encounter made my week. Oscar is 83 years old👌🏽💪🏽🏀🙏🏽

        I hate that reply on Twitter about Oscar being the Kings only great player. He never played for the Kings, only the Royals and Bucks. Actually, I'm positive that Lucas and Twyman didn't either. That would be like saying Jim Brown was the Ravens greatest player.

            He moved to Florida to finally retire. He's earned it.

              I think the guy was talking about the franchise. They wore the old 1960’s Royals uniforms a couple of years ago on throwback night, and they’ve honored Oscar there.

                Oscar was one of my childhood heroes. I saw him play many times at Cincinnati Gardens, along with Twyman, Lucas, Adrian Smith, Embry, etc. Hard for me to think of the Royals moving to Kansas City.

                  He looks like Florida agrees with him. Wish him nothing but the best.

                    I remember when they traded Oscar to Milwaukee Bucks for Flynn Robinson and Charlie Paulk I guess Bob Cousy was content with Van Lier and Van Arsedale. Oh the memories having seen Big O in person

                      Cousy was content with Cousy and thus Oscar had to go.

                        That directly led to the Royals leaving town. The Jacobs brothers intentionally gutted the team, and used the poor attendance to justify the move to KC. Remember they also traded Jerry Lucas to the Warriors for Jimmy King and Bill Turner, basically giving him away. Lucas was a NBA all star every year of his career before that.

                          The concessions were better in KC.
