C-Webb is a great interviewer. He does not interupt at all, and has good questions that add flow to the interview.

Chris Webber was so honored and humbled to have met and interviewed such a NBA great.

Chris Webber is a terrific interviewer. Wish there were more like him.

This interview was great. Chris Webber did a fantastic job

Big 'O' donated a kidney to save his daughter! My childhood idol! Seen him play as a Cincinnati Royals star!

Tiny Archibald led the league in both assists and scoring in 1973 I believe. An amazing accomplishment.

Chris Webber seems like a great person.

People all know by now that Robertson averaged a triple-double for an entire season, but it's far more amazing that he *averaged a triple-double over the first 5 years of his career!* (30 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists)... Nobody else in NBA history has ever come close to doing that.

Oscar Robertson has to be considered the benchmark for all basketball players both as an athlete and person. I was fortunate to grow up in Cincinnati and play basketball in the era in which he played. My brother and I diligently tried to emulate his shooting style not only because of his accuracy but because of his shooting form and style. In addition and most importantly, Oscar was and is a good role model!

Excellent interview with one of the greatest players of all-time. The Big O was extremely quick but he was measured and efficient. If you gave him a 20 footer, he wanted a 15 footer or better. Oscar was so strong and could back you down or he'd face up, take a 2 or 3 dribbles and shoot it in your face. Of course, The Big O could score on anybody but could also get his teammates involved. If his team needed a stop and a big rebound he could get that too. In that era dunking and fancy dribbling was considered showboating and his game reflected that but don't make the mistake of thinking he couldn't do it because he could. Oscar Robertson would be a superstar in any era, that's how good he was.

I love the way C Webb does his interviews. You can tell he genuinely cares about what he's asking. The Big O will always be one of the GOAT's in my opinion.

FANTASTIC INTERVIEW. Well done by Chris Webber. Oscar is just flat out amazing

One of the best point guards in the history of the NBA

Its so so Heart Warming to see Chris paying Homage. I was too young to see Oscar but coming from a Family of Hoopers. Oscar was Sacred. When my Brother taught me THE BLESS IT CROSS OVER,he taught it to me the way Big O did it.Never forget it.

Got to watch Oscar and Alcindor in their championship series. Oscar stood out as so smooth. He had so much strength, it looked effortless compared to everyone out there.

I watched Oscar play his last few years. Completely unique player that revolutionized guard play. I copied his jumper so I could shoot from behind my head too. I scored a ton of points because of it. I wasn’t just a fan, he was so dominant I was a student of his. People can compare eras but those are just people that probably didn’t see him play live. What a beautiful game he had. Man’s man on the court. Super strong. Smooth as shit. A real pleasure to learn from.

Chris did his homework - asked all the right questions, love this interview

The "Big O" is legendary! One of the best that ever did it! Great interview by Chris Webber!

Great interview Chris. Robertson was a monster. The most efficient scorer of the 60's and the most wellrounded basketball player of his era.

Great interview by webber...Oscars all around game was sick and imagine how many points he could have scored with the 3 point shot

What a genuine human and player... Respect to Big O

I agree with all who acknowledged the interviewing excellence exhibited by Chris Weber. It was a pure joy to hear Oscar Robertson answer the questions and share some of the experiences of his amazing career - and life experiences during that era. I feel so blessed to have come of age in the sixties - falling in love with the game, getting to watch and study all of the great ones - doing their thing , the way they did it. Big "O" - You will always Be - " One of The Greatest " !!

Webber is a bit of a nervous twitchy guy but he is really great in interviews. He is just himself and manages to put people at ease. They just know he's a good guy and are willing to chat in an ope an way. Nice to see you doing well Webb, you had some tough knocks in your career. Like Jalen said, they never would have made the finals without you.

26, 10, 8 As a guard, he averaged eight rebounds a game. Seven seasons with 30 points or more.

Great player. Chris Webber is a fantastic interviewer.

This was awesome. O was the best as were others. Chris was great and most of all ,well informed and humble.what is going on now cannot be compared to what went on in the past. Jordon was great, Wilt was great, O was great, and yes Baylor was great and so was Earl the Pearl. There is room for everybody. When you’ve seen them all, you understand how great they ALL were. When you’ve only seen some you only know that which you have seen.

I think C-Webb's ability as an interviewer is extremely underrated. I hope he has more opportunities to formally sit down and share his discussions with other legends of the game

a triple double machine!

The game was so pure back then. Listen to Bill Russels interview as well. Everyone respected each other and everyone was humble. Kawhi is the best example in today's game.

Chris Weber is a great interviewer. Informed, smart, well researched. Head and shoulders over Barkley.

Oscar Robertson is one humble guy!

I never knew how good of an interviewer C-Webb was. Oscar Robertson is so straightforward and humble at the same time. I am just now discovering his greatness.

Just incredible. Loved this interview.

Chris Weber. Thank you.

Great interview of a great man!!! Nice job Chris Webber!!!

Well done Cweb! The Big O was one of my favs growing up, especially when he and Kareem were in the finals against Boston. I began that series cheering for Kareem. By the end, I was in awe of Oscar. The Celtics tried full court pressure to tire him out. He never lost his legs and kept flicking those J''s! O ran that team and fed Dandridge and Lucius Allen cutting. Great player, great man. And great intwrview!

This interview with Mr. Robertson was necessary.👍🏾👍🏾

Excellent interview by CWeb. But let's give honor and props to the Big O! He paved the way for players today through the reserve clause case as well as set the standard for what a great all around player is. I wish we can hear more from this legend. It's like he's almost forgotten these days. Would also loved to see a John Havlicek interview but unfortunately he's no longer with us.

Chris should do West and Kareem next.

This is probably the best sports interview/documentary I've ever viewed. Thank you for sharing this.

At 3:40, Big O mentions Kelly Coleman of Kentucky. I had never heard of him, so had to look him up. Kelly Coleman finished his HS career by scoring 4263 points in 127 games for a 33.6ppg average in his 4-year career at Wayland HS. During the 1955-56 season, he ave 46.8ppg. 6'3"" 210lb at 18 years old. He was the first Kentucky Mr Basketball in '56. He played college ball for Kentucky Wesleyan, and in his three seasons he averaged 27.7ppg. He was picked 11th overall in the 1960 NBA draft by the Knicks, but he had no interest in the NBA due to the low pay. Incredible!.

Thank you Chris. Great interview with one of the classiest ballplayers and men of all time.

C-Webb is one of a small handful of individuals who could interview The Big O and do it justice. I've been very impressed with C Webb, and I'm sure Oscar was after this interview also.

best player ever in nba! forget jordan or lebron i want this guy on my team. old basketball is so much better than what we see around nowadays for example players aint flopping.

Love the big O a complete game didn't see him when he was young but I talked to guys that had. When you talk about guy and could he play today he would be better today.Great vertical powerful man fast and range on his shot. He was a master of putting a guy on his hip ridding him to the hoop.

Chris much to you on such a dignified interview. Thank you Brother. Big "O" a great indeed!

I'd take the Big O and Jerry West against any other 2 guards. I'm talking about a couple 6'5" guards that could shoot from anywhere, pass, rebound, etc... Oscar was so strong and could do it all. West was quick, athletic, played great d, and is the best clutch player ever.

Ｃｈｒｉｓ　Ｗｅｂｂｅｒ　ｄｉｄ　ｒｅａｌｌｙ　ｇｏｏｄ　ｉｎ　ｔｈｉｓ　ｉｎｔｅｒｖｉｅｗ！

What a great player but seems like an ever greater man. Class.

Great Interview C Webb he is very humble and respectful of a legend and is genuine is his emotions and reactions I can tell.

Oscar was one of the great young players in NBA History, the first player I saw really looking smart and methodical on the court, or in complete control I might say. And I can still only say that about a few players. He was an aggressive player, I don't think he put as much effort in as a few other players that have played in the NBA, but no one was more involved in an offense I don't think, because he would want to be the orchestrator of all the offense, more positive than negative, because like I've hard him say he was all pro 10 times, who else should handle the ball. He was an underrated defensive player, he played on the ball, he didn't go for steals, he would stay with his man, this can be better a lot of the time. I think Elgin is the reason I don't rate Bill Russell very highly, despite being from New England and a Boston Celtics fan from 1953-present day. He would take it to Russell in the paint all the time, and scored 61 vs the Celtics in 62'. He would outplay Russell.

I read a comment where these players held back, athletically. True. Oscar mentioned the Globetrotters and "clowns". Too bad there aren't more film video of Ruckers Park, where many of these legends let loose their athletic abilities ; playing above the rim. These players from the Golden era, in my opinion, would beat any best assembled NBA team of today.

Thanks for sharing Karol K. This was awesome and I truly enjoyed it! You don't have Kobe, Lebron and Durant without men like The Big O, Baylor, West, Russell, Wilt, etc.

This interview gave me goosebumps. CWebb is great at this! And the big O is my favorite old Skool player

Greatest player of all time. This guy had to fly cramped commercial flights then play the likes of West, Baylor, Wilt, Hondo and Russell when there were only 10 teams. That's like playing against Bird, Durant, Duncan, Jordan, Stockton and Malone every night. Now a days there are 30 teams .........a lot of watered down talent. Oscar would have averaged triple doubles over the course of YEARS these days.

Nice to see Oscar mellow out in his later years. Guy was an amazing full tool player, but he had a major chip on his shoulder for years - never putting other great players over. Probably from not getting his just respects compared to other legends. But it's championships that make you immortal to most.

I'M CRYING NOW 😭! This interview touched my ❤. Chris Webber YOU did an immaculate interview! Great questions, you listened to the answers. I am NOT a sports fan. BUT , THIS INTERVIEW, THIS INTERVIEW RIGHT HERE IS WONDERFUL!!! When you paid RESPECT to The "BIG O" MR OSCAR ROBERTSON, I FELT THAT😢 !!! CONGRATULATIONS CWEBBER, WISH YOU MANY MORE TO COME !!! 🙏🏾🙌🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

I can see why Chris Webber isn't an interviewer. Bjt great to see the Big O!

Mr. Robinson a real one love this interview.

Love this. Keeps the history of the game alive. Nice job C Webb interviewing a legend. Thanks for posting.

Respect the legends!!!!

i wish we had more film of those old days

Some of the greatest things that Oscar did off the court are never talked about. Being from Indiana, I will always be grateful for him bringing Roger Brown to the Indiana Pacers. Roger got into some problems when he was young and was banned from competition. Oscar went out of his way to get him into the pros. Oscar knew he was an excellent talented ball player that deserved a chance. Oscar talked the owner of the Pacers in the old ABA to give him a shot. Roger became an all star and a hall of famer. Oscar isn't only one of the best players to ever play, but one of the best humans to play the game. Thanks Big O for making my childhood that much better. You were always my favorite.

Sweet interview by Webber. Big O is the most awesome ever, hands down, no contest.

Great interview and The Big O kept it real spoke the truth. The Big O!!

great video about one of the greatest of all time. THE BIG O.

Guys like oscar robertson,elgin baylor,rick barry,john havlicek and jerry west would rip todays players apart.

it doesn't get better than the big o. great player, great man, great human being.

Oscar Robinson was my a favorite player, but he wasn’t on TV very often. Glad to see him doing well. Great interview.

During the era of the Big O the emphasis was on defense, rebounding and the inside game not three point shots and dunks. There were was no cheap shots on defense like you saw in the 80's and 90's. These cats really did play D. Hakeem Olajuwon was a great shot blocker but in the Big O's day there was Nate Thurmond, Wilt, Russell, Reed, Bellamy, Gilmore and Alcindor. The big men in today's NBA do not intimidate or alter shots the way they did back in 60's and 70's. Always remember when Russell and Chamberlain squared off the two them combined for around 50 rebounds and 20 blocks. In an era with this kind of dominance Big O still averaged a triple double almost every time he walked on the court. Simply amazing....

Being an old Warrior fan, I knew CWeb and DNelson did not get along. Nate Thurmond said the onus was on Nelson, the older man had the responsibility as coach to teach Webber. But at the end CWeb is almost in tears of appreciation of Oscars work on and off the court.

True wisdom and knowledge and understanding. The Big O is as great a man as he was as a basketball player.C-Webb asked all the right questions and some. Outstanding interview

I'm seeing this for the first time. I'm like a father watching his son interviewing his grandfather. I can't help but smile thinking about Chris at Michigan and that heart breaking moment to watch him now in this interview. That and watching Big O now and remembering him when I was a kid. I didn't realize then what I watching with him and Lew Alcindor were killin' the game back then. Man! In the words of Ice Cube, "Today was a good day!"

Oscar is such a classy human being - wish I were old enough to have seen him play.

Th big O has that base line cheese lol

Man Big O is so well spoken, it just speaks of that era of Black men. So different from today.

Great interview of a great man.

What a fantastic interview. Mr. Robertson was my favorite player growing up. I have always bragged about him even though I know he was to humble and classy to hoot his own horn. Mr. Webber is also full of class and did a great interview. I wish more young people would look at previous generations of experience in all walks of life and gain something positive from them instead of dismissing them as old and clueless. Chris Webber could be a very good interviewer as a professional in my opinion.

3:05 dafuq Wilt, you scared of the ball or somethin? haha

Beautiful interview Chris Webber. The Big O. was great and brought the best out of him. Oscar was articulate, intelligent and so interesting. Chris you showed respect to this giant and I loved the conversation. Well done Chris. Regards MK

Karol K ! Thank you so much for putting this interview up on youtube!!! Awesome!

Good job Chris, But Oscar was the star of the interview, I'm 78 yrs old, I remember when was drafted by the Cincinnati Royals, Big O was my hero, Absolutely the best point guard EVER, they weren't even called Point guards at the time, doesn't matter what they called them he was going to win,by outplaying you, period,, Oscar Robinson is a class act, he means a lot to me, we from the same era !!! Hats off O'GEE !!!

Chris, very engaging interview of one of the greatest players and pioneers of the game. As a kid born in 1952 in Indianapolis, unlike my older sisters, I was too young to attend any of the Crispus Attucks High School games during the 1950s, but my dad made it a point to take me to the rare NBA game at the Fairgrounds Coliseum whenever Oscar and the Cincinnati Royals came to town.

Mr. Oscar Robertson is a true Gentleman and one of the best B-Ball players EVER! He was treated so terribly and that is the truth of the matter - God Bless you, Big O. You broke all the barriers and made it EASY for those who came after you - YOU ARE THE GREATEST - May you enjoy your days and be happy - you earned it! ;-]

Oscar is one of the best players and a great man too.

Great interview and great interviewer...Chris Webber! :D

Oscar, Bird, magic,and lebron are the only positionless players ever...they excel at everything. Luka is on his way too, we'll see with him.

Great interview, CWebb! Keep 'em coming!

Great interview and appreciate C Webb talking with the Great Oscar Robertson and this is a must hear interview

I like Chris Webber’s friendly demeanor. Just smiling throughout the interview and just being real with the other person.

My favorite interview of any pro athlete and with one of my favorite players Oscar Robertson.

I watched a little basketball back in the day . To me he was one of the big boys (an expression), one of the best to play the game. Still do

Chris great interview, you're a classy guy,

Webber has really improved. Very impressive interview. He does his homework.

Oscar's IQ is crazy!

I love oscar Robertson..as a young player back in brasil we heard of his game...this was in the 60's

One of my favorite players ever, top 10 all time...EASY!!!!

"Oh, no". lol It seemed like dunking was a dirty thing. I remember in the 70s going to the library, and they would have these beautiful full-sized, hard-cover basketball books with photo illustrations. Oscar was one of my favourites along with Wilt and Kareen and many others.

WOW! Great interview Chris. I didn't realize that Milwaukee literally pushed him out! Oscar's dignity has prevailed through it all! The current player's owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude for his courage, strength and overall sense of wanting to do what was right! You're simply the best Big O!
