Brittany Mills+Follow1962 Had The Most Stacked MVP Race Ever The 1961–62 MVP race was unlike anything we’ve ever seen: Bill Russell (Winner): 18.9 PPG, 23.6 RPG — the anchor of a dynasty, leading Boston to the league’s best record. Wilt Chamberlain (2nd): Averaged 50.4 PPG and 25.7 RPG… yes, 50 a night. Played 48.5 minutes per game. Oscar Robertson (3rd): Averaged a triple-double for the entire season (30.8 PPG, 12.5 RPG, 11.4 APG). Elgin Baylor (4th): Dropped 38.3 PPG and 18.6 RPG while only playing 48 games due to military service. All in the same season. One of the most legendary MVP battles in NBA history. Do you think Russell deserved the award, or should Wilt or Oscar have taken it? #NBAHistory #MVP #WiltChamberlain #BillRussell #OscarRobertson #ElginBaylor #GOATDebate #NBADebate #MyNBAGOAT #Sports #NBA 2416Share
Beth Holland+FollowLuka Dončić’s Historic StartLuka Dončić is the only player in NBA history to hit 10,000 points, 3,000 assists, and 3,000 rebounds in his first six seasons while making 5+ first-team All-NBA selections and winning 5+ playoff series. Even LeBron and Oscar Robertson didn’t quite match that mix of production and team success this early. Just unreal. #LukaDoncic #NBAHistory #YoungLegend #NBATalk #LebronJames #OscarRobertson #Sports #NBA10Share
Amy Tanner+FollowBig O Honored: Bucks Salute a LegendDid you catch the Bucks’ tribute to “The Big O” after his Arthur Ashe Award win? Oscar Robertson isn’t just a Hall of Famer—he’s the guy who, alongside Kareem, brought Milwaukee its first NBA title in ‘71. The Bucks’ shoutout on social media was a classy nod to his legacy, especially his push for economic justice. Hard not to respect a legend who changed the game and the world off the court! #Sports #Basketball #OscarRobertson20Share
