Oscar Robertson/NBA career/Championships won
1971
For the first time in his career, Robertson had won an NBA championship. From a historical perspective, however, Robertson’s most important contribution was made not on a basketball court, but rather in a court of law. … There, Robertson had the chance to end his stellar career with a second ring.
Basketball legend Oscar Robertson auctioned off some of his most prominent basketball memorabilia this weekend, including his 1971 NBA championship ring, which fetched $91,138.

During his 14-year NBA career with the Cincinnati Royals and the Milwaukee Bucks, Robertson became the top-scoring guard of all time, amassing 26,710 points, which ranks 12th in NBA history.

Oscar Robertson, the “Big O,” is the player against whom all others labeled “versatile” are judged, and he may remain the standard forever.

Statistically, one need look no further than the numbers Robertson put up in 1961-62, just his second year in the league: 30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 11.4 assists per game — a triple-double average for an entire season. He remained the only player to do so for more than 50 years until Russell Westbrook matched his feat in 2016-17.
