That's just how much attention Oscar Robertson required.

When I was in the CubScouts, we went to a Knicks game in 1961 at the old Madison Square Garden on 50th & 8th Avenue.

Knicks Vs. Royals.

New York jumped on Cincy in the first quarter, something like 41-24 or thereabouts. 

Knicks had some great scorers.

Richie Guerin.  Jumping Johnny Green.  Willie Nauls. 

The Royals had OSCAR ROBERTSON.

Final score?

Royals 104, Knicks 103. 

The Big O had like 32 as I recollect.

I have posted this memory numerous times over the years. 

BoD even tracked down the original box score, which was very sweet of him.

Michael Jordan was a great player. 

Those ready to annoint him the greatest never saw Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Bill Russell, John Havlichek, Walt Frazier....

My God.

Didn't remember that he was a rook.

Just that he was commanding.

Of those, I only got to see late career Hondo.
Was at the RAC when the Nets gave him a tribute at halftime on his retirement tour/season.  They gave him a rocking chair.

I probably saw Clyde in a game or two on TV when I was fairly young and didn't know hoops.  It was only post-'73 championship when basketball became something I started hearing about a little.  First games I saw were Boston in the '74 playoffs, when we visited a friend of my father's and he had the game on.  I think it was the finals v. MIL.

Then Summer of '75 we moved crosstown where the neighborhood kids played hoops.  Then the Nets joined the NBA for '76-77 and started playing down the road at Rutgers.  Rutgers made the Final Four in '76.  We often played with a friend's redwhiteandblue ball, though the ABA was dead and buried by the time I heard of it.

1960-61 season.  79 game schedule.
An 8 team league.  6 teams made the playoffs.
The middle 4 teams duked it out in the 1st round.
Top 2 teams got byes.
So to win the championship, the Celts only had to win two rounds.
Just one round to get to the Finals.

9 teams starting the next year, for 6 years, until 10 in 67-68.
Then 14 in 68-69.

The teams Celtics played were much tougher. 

Royals had a very good team.

Robertson
Twyman
Embry
Lucas

So did the Sixers

Jackson
Greer
Cunningham
Chamberlain

But the Celtics were a juggernaut.

Cousey. Havlichek. Sam Jones.  Heinson.  And that Bill Russell fellow.

Folks like to say Pip was the greatest #2 ever.
But Cousy, Hondo, Sam Jones.
Stockton
Elgin. West once Wilt came.
Kareem with Magic
Wes Unseld
McHale
Dr. J after the coming of Moses

I'm sure there's more.

I guess Pippen was fully in the #2 role for almost a decade.
Stockton-Malone; Hayes/Unseld were 1-2 punches, near equals.
Though if you're good enough to be equal with a HoF #1, that's pretty damn good #2ing.
Latter-day Kareem; McHale, one of Russ' C playmates?

Nobody really gets around to making a list of Top 10 #2 options.
Though the way the virus is progressing, ESPn might get to it ...

Scuttlebutt has Indiana ready to shed a bit of salary. Their owner is in malls and is therefore looking to economize generally. This is understood to include his basketball team.

My proposal is Randle, Knox, and Smith for TJ Warren, and Victor Oladipo. We’d give them the Clippers pick, the protected Dallas pick and a second rounder somewhere.

We’d have

Mitch Taj
Warren Bobby
Barrett Bullock Ignas
Oladipo Ellington
Frank Payton

We’d get the lotto pick and start free agency with 5 guys we could stuff off for 41 million more in space.

It hurts them on my he floor in the short term, but gets them future assets and lots of flexibility with the player salaries they take back.
