In 1962, Oscar Robertson became the first player in NBA history to average a triple-double for a season - and The Big O's legacy has been revisited due to Russell Westbrook's triple-double heroics. However, unlike Westbrook, Robertson was one of the deadliest scorers of his era and the point guard recorded six 30 points per game seasons.

Uncommonly, Robertson averaged 30.5 points in his rookie campaign with the Cincinnati Royals, and only failed to top the 30-point threshold in one (1962-63) of his first seven seasons in the league. Roberston came close again during the 1967-68 season, averaging 29.2 points, although his scoring efficiency declined after a late-career move to Milwaukee in 1970. Nevertheless, Robertson finished his career averaging 25.7 points per game, and only two other men recorded more 30 point seasons.
