Oscar Robertson Nicknames

[Akhenaten]

You have some people here that don't respect the game and it's history. Not real fans. posers.

you give respect you get respect, give disrespect and derision? well...

modern fans for the most part dont even think about the players of antiquity, however old timers consistently go out their way to disparage the stars of generations after them its fine to think your generation is better, its natural even but you can do so without being flippant and condescending. Fucc Oscar Robertson (and Im 34) everytime you hear from this guy hes being surly, petty and disrespectful.

I cant stand envious people, he thinks he's so slick too he guises his his hubris as just him giving his opinion like when people say Jordan is the greatest he's quick to point out how great Kobe is as if Kobe is anywhere in Jordan's class.

Damn near 80 and sneak dissing on people that could be your kids or grandkids because they arew getting more adulation and money than you were in your day...just frigging PATHETIC

I don't like these old-timers disparaging what Curry is doing, either.

Any more than the current fans claiming that players like Oscar would be scrubs in today's NBA. And yet just a few years ago the purse-carrying Steve Nash won back-to-back MVPs. Or that Ricky Rubio and Rajon Rondo can start in the current NBA, when neither one of them can shoot any better than Stevie Wonder. Or that just a few years ago the 6-8 Kevin Love ran away with a rpg title, and did so in 35 mpg.

Or current fans claiming that Wilt dominated short white guys, when he was wiping the floor with a Russell who was every bit as tall as Cousins, DJ, Dwight, and Drummond. Or that he averaged 48 ppg over a span of 20 straight games against a Bellamy, who was listed at 6-11, but who, according to Marty Blake, was in fact a legitimate 7-0.

Or that it was "pace" alone that allowed Oscar to average a 30-10-10 over the course of six consecutive seasons. Yep, despite the fact that he was the only guy to ever do it. Or that "pace" was the reason Chamberlain hung 32 games of 60+....despite the fact that there were a total of five other "non-Wilt" 60+ games in Chamberlain's 14 seasons. Or that, if you remove Wilt from those 14 seasons, the highest scoring full-time scoring average was 35.6 ppg, which was less than MJ's '87, and slightly higher than Kobe's '06.

What Curry is accomplishing today is truly remarkable. His ability to score from the parking lot is something that the NBA has never witnessed before. And these "geezers" need to acknowledge it. Just as the current generation need to respect the true greatness of those that came before them.

Old schooler's will be surly because that's their make up. These guys were alpha dogs, super stars, legends of the game. Players from those elder times were very prideful. They are unlike today's buddy buddy generation. There was no hi-five'ing or giggling among each other during games. Your pride and name was on the line each and every game. But yes I agree they should give credit where it's due. Curry is having a great season. But people need to calm down and not proclaim him the best ever.. .

The Big Overrated
Or the Big 0 are thus far the best.
