The name Oscar Robertson is associated with historic achievements like the triple-double season. Voted into the Basketball Hall of Fame on the first ballot and named player of the century by the National Association of Basketball Coaches, Robertson's greatness is palpable.
His story extends beyond basketball—growing up in a segregated city, leading Crispus Attucks High School to the state championship, and revolutionizing the game in college and the NBA. He used his fame to improve conditions for players and fought for free agency rights, ultimately winning a landmark lawsuit.
Oscar Robertson's journey is also about his leadership, resilience, and impact on the sport and society. It is a story of a complex hero who changed the game twice—in play and business—and his legacy in American history.
