Oscar makes the layup more pleasurable to watch than a dunk

It's crazy to me how simple and at the same time smooth and beautiful was the game in that era, incredible

Big is my GOAT, having watched him in the 60's and 70's!!!!!

Played in pick up games at Central YMCA in Cincinnati with Mr. Robertson . He was only running 3 quarter speed and killing some good players. Shot was awesome and if you were cutting to basket he would get the ball to you. I used to laugh at guys trying to guard him by being very physical. Never turned out good for them.

This man could play in any era he was a complete point guard without a weakness

The big O was a complete player with no weakness in his game.

Oscar and Wilt would have been something to see live.

Oscar's lay-up badges were second to none, he is a legend lol.

Oscar is The best point guard of all time in my opinion

WOW , Just saw Oscar drive to the hoop & get his body tween Wilt & the basket & he prevented Wilt from blocking it...Brilliant ! He was fearless!

Someone needs to get all old sports clips in 4k, this looks amazing

Love the guy. It's weird to watch them dribble back then without carrying -- pure basketball. The real thing.

The Tim Duncan of Point Guards. He's athletic and had the skill/mind to be flashy but plays fundamentally.

He had a PhD in basketball geometry. The most fundamentally sound player in the game’s history.

"The Big O" a real legend who is never mentioned in most current "expert" top 10 lists .. this man was the real deal!

Runs the break like Magic, fades away baseline like Jordan, & had the size of a modern combo guard. Wild.

Oscar had a presence on the court: "I'm going here and I'll shoot. Or I'll do a layup." And he did it as if no defender could stop him. He dominated by force-of-willpower.

His passing was on another level . Court vision crazy . He had the middy game and no one could guard him

He had one of the cleanest looking jump shots ever. Unreal talent all around.

This man passing is crazyyyy

One of the best EVER!

The big "O" was brilliant.....i first saw him play year 2 at the old madison square garden...long live the legend of number 14 Oscar Robertson. Peace

DAYUMN O_O Has there ever been anybody else that well rounded? Jeez. He's like a more athletic (and slightly darker) version of Larry Bird.

The video quality of this clip is absolutely phenomenal.

“His greatness was his simplicity”- Jerry west

He passing, midrange, and handles were elite.

When Oscar retired from the NBA he was 1st all-time in assist and 2nd All-time in points behind Wilt. Big -O is also one of the greatest players in NCAA history. When he graduated from Cincinnati he was the NCAA's all-time leading scorer. It was his record that Pistol Pete broke.

Court vision crazy

See how he dribbles, hands on TOP of the ball at all times. Unlike today, everybody palms or carries for control, and, it NEVER gets called.

Truly an all around great player. I knew about his scoring and ability to get rebounds but watching this video, I'm amazed at his passing. Not only the way he could throw a long outlet pass with accuracy but the way he could almost "pass people open". The feel for the Game he had was just unreal. The head fakes and pump fakes we're also unreal. I truly think this man could have flourished in ANY era. A true "Floor General". Thanks for posting this.

U can see he had even more by the way he played. His IQ is off the charts and he can use both hands too whether dribbling or finishing. That Jumper too 🪣

When he says he wasn't playing for a stats he was trying to help his team win,. I believe him. Just in the humility in which he speaks, his class, he just feels extremely authentic in every way. Thx for posting!

I remember watching him play for the Cincinnati Royals at the Gardens in the 60s..The Big O!

Oscar was so ahead of his time

10:35 Dick van Arsdale guarding Oscar. lol, that's Manual vs Attucks, 1961 Indiana Mr Basketball vs 1956 Indiana Mr Basketball, very cool. Amazing revelation in this video too, they only got credit for an assist if the guy was going to the basket, no assist on a kick out, wow, I wonder how many of todays assist Oscar really had.

When Jerry West and John Havlicek say it themselves in an ESPN documentary that Oscar Robertson was the best player they ever played against, that’s all you need to hear about him. I have him in my top 10 GOAT list

Modern fans might see this outstanding video of the great Oscar Robertson and think Oscar wasn't that good compared to today's players because he didn't dunk, go between his legs, or throw behind the back passes. What they don't understand is that the Big O played in a different era that either didn't always condone those moves or didn't allow it. In his prime, Oscar Robertson was as good or better than any guard that ever laced em up.

Possibly the most well-rounded offensive player ever with absolute no weakness. Thank you for this beautiful work!

So happy to see the Big O finally getting some exposure out here! He's been my favorite player since he joined the Royals in 1960. He could do anything he wanted on a basketball court. The best all-around player I've ever seen.

Royals fan here, and the Big O has always been my favorite player. Thanks for posting this. Hopefully some of the younger guys can see that basketball wasn't invented in 1990 by ESPN.

@ 5:40 -5:43, That Left hand dribble drive w/o Palming/Carrying the ball!

He was really smooth and just did everything very well.

Big O is a live exemplification of basketball fundamentals. Even when he dribbles up the court on a fast break the ball looks like it’s in a string coming back to his hand

Oscar robertson was a Tim Duncan kind of player-not flashy,king of fundamentals and had no weakness in their game.

Hardly any special or spectacular plays, and yet he was that

He made the game look so easy. One of the top points guards of all time. No palming the ball when drilling back then. Can you imagine what he would do in today's modern game. The people who say he can't play this modern game, don't know B. Ball.

Great to see a couple of plays again, where steps actually count. A different game today.

I grew up in Milwaukee and got to see the Big O when my dad and I would see the Bucks play. He was past his prime but still a formidable presence on the court. At that time he was second, right behind Wilt, on the all-time lead scoring list and the all time assist leader. It was cool being able to see a living legend playing alongside a future legend (Lew Alcindor) right in my home town.

Never let people disrespect the legends of the past

Wow....he was such a fundamental player!

Great video. Thanks for posting. Oscar Robertson could easily be on anyone's all time starting 5 team. Big hands long arms, averaged triple double before anyone started keeping that statistic.

What a beautiful game. I had not seen such high quality footage of the Big O. I only caught the end of his career, with the Bucks, when he had lost a step. I can't think of anybody else like him. His game was a genre all its own. Isn't it unbelievable that sometimes he is left off of GOAT discussions?

Beautiful to watch. Such a team player. No one like him!!!

One legend we truly must appreciate. His shot was so smooth and the way he kept bigger players from blocking it. What a basketball genius he was. Good rebounder too. He would definitely dominate in this era.

People simply don't understand basketball and/or they haven't done there proper research, if they don't think Oscar could have been great in ANY era. The guy was literally a bigger, taller, original version of Chris Paul. And last time I checked, CP3 was a top 75 all-time player and ARGUABLY the best pure PG of THIS era.

Probably the most fundamentally sound player at the 1 position.

He can make anyone he’s playing with look good

Oscar could do anything. He wasn't flashy at all. But he was a bulky 6ft5 shooting guard that could rebound, shoot, pass and score. The guy could practically do anything. And his defense is very underrated.

A few things you don't see in this video - Oscar never had a season where he didn't avg 35+ min or more - He shot 80% from the free throw - He shot 49% Fg% for his career - He went from a dominant ball handle & Scorer early in his career, to a more unselfish off the ball player later in his career trying to win a ring with a different playstyle A few things you do see in this video He had strong hands which allowed him to -Rebound better than almost any guard - He can pass the ball underhand or overhand -get to the rim with ease and simple finishes - He was one of the strongest guards of all time - He was the Westbrook of his generation, he had energy for days never came out the game until late in his career he played a bit less minutes - He was not afraid of hitting the big shots and had a decent midrange game

Man I love old skool clips like this 💯 absolutely incredible to watch and remember these Legends 💪 the way Oscar played and that beautiful high release jump shot 😎 my man was something special for sure!!! Awesome video thx for making it 🙏

The master of the inside out dribble , the hesitation stop and go dribble, the up and under, you watch film and like Stockton no cousy around the back through the legs magic, he just used his simple control and great strength and vision to dominate, with the back you down turnaround foul drawing perfection. High volume free throw shooter 8th all time only west and Iverson averaged more perg. He made you pay 84% from the line ( in his Cincinnati years 10.5 perg. ) put your guards out of the game and controled who called timeouts( the other team) and had to substitute. Ball dominant it sometimes hurt his team as he was not excellent at moving without the ball which made him less of a threat as a decoy. And his greatest contribution was his lawsuit. The treble cleff - points, rebounds , assists. Had stokes not gotten sick he might have won a championship before pairing with Kaj and Dandridge. As they had great shooters Adrian Smith, Jack Twyman, Jerry Lucas, and Wayne ( the wall ) Embry.

Top 10 all time without a doubt

Ya know, they always talk about Doc being the ambassador to the NBA, but B4 The Doctor , There was Oscar! Nicest man you'd ever wanna meet & if he didn't have anything nice to say to you , He ( try'd real hard) not to say anything, lol. ALSO , was of THE best anylitical B-Ball minds , ever! He was Utilitarian as well. Like Bird , things didnt have to always look pretty , but those 2 or 3 points went up on the scoreboard anyway! More often than MOST too. I think Oscar broke things down to it's basics & always knew HOW to get the job done!!! Thanks for the memories Oscar ! Miss you !

4:34 like how he made tough shot look easy

Ain't no way you got 12 minutes of Oscar robertson highlights. Amazing

his passes are also great

his jumpshot looks so smooth

I'm watching a RU-vid video on Coach John Wooden. He said Oscar Robertson may be the best player ever.

hes just so fast look at him run with the ball and his jumpshot was insane

That guy was one of the most fundamentally sound players that I ever seen. Him along with Jerry West and Walt Frazier proved that you didn't have to be a fancy Dan to get the job done. They were guards that didn't have a definition they could do it all. Rebound, assist, score everything they epitomized the word all around. And Oscar was one if not the best in that category of all around for the first five years of his career.

What a wonderful player, never palmed, carried or walked in a game like today's player!!!

As great as Kareem obviously was, it's very much understated just how fortunate he was that he got to play with Oscar AND Magic. I'd love to see a roundtable talk between Kareem, Oscar and Magic while they're still here with us. We should all flood the NBA's mentions for that to happen.

Oscar Robertson was the very first player classified as an All Purpose Guard in NBA history that set the prototype as a Big Guard at 6'5 for the evolution that continue through Magic Johnson to LeBron James . The best thing happened in his career was leaving The Royals to play with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar that resulted in a championship finally and was the Original Triple Double King. We know that Russell Westbrooks became the first player since Oscar to have a Triple double season, but Robertson had 5 straight seasons in his career.. One thing I remember of Oscar Robertson was his keen basketball intelligence that shown even more so as Basketball Analyst after his retirement, this man knew every play that teams played and would call them out before they happened, which meant he studied and knew other teams plays .. And never forget his Civil Rights endeavors as well as helping players to become free agents which opened up money for players that all benefit from to this day because of one kid from Indiana that played the purest form of basketball in the NBA . THE BIGG "O" will always be one of my many Basketball Heroes 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀

The flow of old school basketball should be considered the same as listening to the likes of Mozart!

As a kid while in junior high, Big O was my guy. The only complaint I had about his game, he passed the ball too much at Milwaukee. I wanted to see him score. :)

Oscar was a top notch hard nosed player that got buckets when his team needed em. He got assist when his teammates needed to get going and played defense like an animal lol Dude was a great to this day

You have to wonder how much of the way the game looked back then was due to the shoes that they wore. Anybody who’s trying to play basketball Chuck Taylors knows how they make you change your game.

He would just methodically destroy whomever was guarding him. His first step quickness is underrated.

7:58 god damn what a pass

These old clips make me respect his game more. I Realized all my favorites just copied him.

Look at how he never carries, hand always on top of ball. Always using his body to shield the ball from the defender.

The Best Point Guard ever! ❤

True pioneer of the sport💯

Checking in from Indianapolis, Indiana.... Oscar went to High school here Crispus Attacks. I wasnt born until 1988....

Anyone see. How much more respect is shown. Watch how these guys put the ball in the basket in the paint. None of that in your face disrespectful stuff.

His jumpshot is so pretty

The only footage I've seen of Robertson. And you've done a great job enhancing these clips. Appreciate it!

Sensational job Sir! As always those NEVER SEEN ON RU-vid IN THIS QUALITY clips are just a pure gold

The Big O!!! What a BALLER! Another fantastic piece of work Foobas! Your 4k upscales & hard work are very appreciated! ESPN should get you onboard asap ✌️

Pure class + Classic player + Mr. Triple Double = Oscar Robertson

He was the first big time big guard 6’6 PG

Being able to score without carrying the ball, greatness

It’s honestly amazing to see him dribble the ball, without carrying it. Serious question, who was the first player that was allowed to carry the ball and get away with it?

My grandfather's favorite player. The Big O. May he rest in piece.

dat boi jumpshot butter on 2k23 i had to come watch his highlights 😂

When shooting a jump shot, the position of the ball is further back from the top of the head. Such a jump shot is almost impossible to block. Like it's hard to block Jordan's fade away shot I wonder what kind of form he would have thrown if there was a 3-point line. Looking at the upper body, I can feel the strength. strength and flexibility Looking at the bounce pass, it's easy to guess why it got that nickname.

I luv Oscar Roberson

Everything Oscar did looked so smooth

Most of these clips were after Oscar's ultimate prime which was before 1966. The Oscar I saw played on a level before '66 which is not seen in most of these clips. He was a great defensive player too, which hardly anybody talks about (even the old players who played with & against him). Oscar made 77 steals (in 70 games) in his final season at age 35 which was the 1st season steals were tracked in the NBA. To put that in perspective consider that Joe Dumas topped 77 steals in a season just 4 times during his entire career.
