The Best Ever Basketball Player

One of the greatest basketball player in human history, the legendry Kareem Abdul Jabbar, has joined in the hottest debate in the basketball community, over who is or was the greatest player of all times.

Kareem's pick was a surprise to many but not everyone agrees with his pick of course. He said, that Michael Jordan and Lebron James etc, were and are awsome players, but they are not the greatest.

He said that the greatest ever was his former team-mate, at the Milwaukee Bucks, Oscar Robinson, with whom he won his first NBA title in 1971. The former superstar player said yesterday, on the Cowherd's Radio Show, that
''Lebron James is awsome, MJ that is (Michael Jordan) was awsome - but I think Oscar Robinson would have kicked them both in the behind.''



Kareem Abdul Jabbar

Many basketball fans and experts considered Kareem Abdul Jabbar born Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor, himself to be the greatest player ever, but he disagree with this, saying that he think that Oscar Robinson, popularly known as ''Big O'' is the greatest player ever.


At the 1997 All - Star Game, Oscar Robinson, was on the list of the 50 greatest player of all times.


Mr Abdul - Jabbar added about Robinson, ''Absolutely, Oscar was awsome. He had brains... He had all the skills. He could rebound and box out guys 4 and 6 inches taller than him.''

''He was ruggedly built. He had fluid, quickness and just understood the game. No flair, he just got the job done every night.''

Kareem then possed a question, asking who will be able to score double digits in points, assists and rebounds.

''Who's going to average double figures in points, assists and rebounds?

It should be noted at this juncture, that only Oscar Robinson in the history of the basketball league, averaged triple double for a whole season. No player has been able to achieve that ever since.

Kareem Abdul Jabbar won 6 NBA titles in his twenty years in the NBA league. Played 19 times in the All Star Games. From I969 when he was drafted as the number one pick by Milwaukee Bucks, till he retired in 1989,
only one season that he did not play in the All Star Games.

Amongs his honours are 6 most valuable player (MVP) in regular season.
Two MVPs in the finals and many more awards. He is a keen basketball watcher for over 50 years. He played for Milwaukee Bucks from 1969 - 1975, then he joined the LA Lakers where he became a superstar player, winning 5 titles. He is an authority in the game of basketball.
