Oscar Robertson is best known for becoming the first player to ever average a triple-double over an entire season in the NBA, a feat he has achieved while playing for the Cincinnati Royals in 1962. A 12-time consecutive NBA All-Star, Oscar played point guard but had an excellent ability to assist and rebound as well.

In the 1963-64 season, he almost repeated his 1962 feat when he averaged 31.4 points, 9.9 rebounds and 11.0 assists per game, falling short of averaging a triple-double by 0.1 rebounds.
