Oscar Robertson 5

The best vision of any college player, while dealing with maybe the toughest circumstances of any college player...he had to stay in the dorms on road trips because he wasn't allowed in hotels! Despite all of this he averaged over 33 a game for his collegiate career. Pistol Pete was good but I think the Big O had more factors to overcome to be great...and he did not have great teammates around him in college either.

Not true about not having great teammates around him in college. His team won the NCAA championship over a great Ohio State team 2 years in a row after Oscar graduated. Further, while I agree that he was great, Oscar was a very selfish player and thus his teams did not do well with him. ZERO college Championships and only 1 in the NBA after he was old and traded to dish it off the the young Alcindor with the Milwaukke Bucks. I rate him a 5 but HE WAS DEFINITEL YNOT HE BEST EVER COLLEGE BASKETBALL PLAYER!!! The team players were...Jerry Lucas, Bill Walton, Lew Alcindor, Bill Russell, ...these were champions who made their teammates better and thus won championships in basketball which is definitely a TEAM GAME!!! Oscar didn't want to get this. He liked being the star too much!!!
