Autobiography of Oscar Robertson, one of the fifty greatest NBA players of all time
Oscar Robertson, seen by many as one of the best and most versatile basketball players of his time, played in the NBA for the Cincinnati Royals and the Milwaukee Bucks during his fourteen-year professional basketball career.
"A well-written, entertaining, and thought-provoking sports autobiographyobut would we ever expect less than a triple-double from the Big O?" Wes Lukowsky Booklist "Oscar Robertson is an incomparable superstar. He is also a thoughtful man and a man of vision. If you want insight into what formed Oscar in the crucial years of his youth, look here. It's a great book." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar "As one of the nba's all-time greats, Oscar Robertson has much to pass on to both his old fans and young basketball enthusiasts perhaps unfamiliar with his legacy." Publishers Weekly "Oscar was one of basketball's great leaders, and his life is one of basketball's great stories. He was unafraid, unabashed, and unmatched in everything he did. There will never be another like him." Bill Russell
