The debate about the greatest point guard in NBA history has been a hot topic for quite some time, and Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar decided to offer his opinion on the matter.
Two-time NBA Finals MVP
"I don’t think you’re going to want to hear this. Oscar Robertson. The Big O. I only had the chance to play with him at the end of his career, but he was awesome," Abdul-Jabbar told New York's WPIX. Even if Abdul-Jabbar, also known as"The Captain," did not name Johnson, Robertson was certainly somewhat of a curveball. Golden State Warriors point guard and four-time NBA championCurry is a prolific shooter and is credited with revolutionizing modern basketball.Robertson played in a different era. He won one NBA title but was named the league's MVP six times.
Abdul-Jabbar suggested Robertson's game was underappreciated, and he did not have the benefit of playing during the 3-point shot era.
