The Big O

Today is the 66th birthday of the greatest basketball player ever, Oscar Robertson. He averaged a triple double in his second season in the NBA and holds the career record for triple doubles. There have been great playmakers like Magic and incredible point-scorers like Jordan, but Robertson did it all, did it first, and did it best. (He also turns out to be pivotal in NBA 2k5, since the key to the game is having a solid 3-point shooting point guard. But that's neither here nor there.)
