However, the success of basketball players was overshadowed by the leadership of the city, which forbade them to celebrate in the city and they were forced to arrange a celebration outside Indianapolis.

In an interview with Indianapolis Star, Robertsona explained this: “They are afraid that the blacks will tear the city center.” In the same year, Robertson, who gained on average for the game of 24 points, was called Mr. Basketball of Indiana. Despite the successful game of Etax Tigers, there was not even a basketball hall at the school where she could train and therefore many white teams refused to play with them.

Robertson had to live in student dormitories, while his teammates lived in hotels. In the year, for his achievements, the Association of Professional Basketball Journalists will call him a reward handed by the best player of student basketball, which he received the first two years of its existence - the Oscar Robertson prize.

A career in the NBA Zincinnati Royals on April 11 at the NBA Draw Robertson was chosen by the Zincinnati Royals team now “Royals” acts in Sacramento under the name Sacramento Kings as a territorial choice, but since Royals this year had the first choice, Robertson is considered the first overall number number.

Three participants in this draft will subsequently become members of the glory basketball hall - Robertson, West and Lenny Wilkens. Robertson already in the debut season began to live up to the expectations of the club management. Thus, Robertson became the leader of the program, interrupting the series of Bob Coizi, who won this title of 8 seasons in a row.

For his achievements, he was named the beginner of the year and was included in the first team of all the NBA stars in the next 8 seasons also included him in the national team of all stars, and also took part in his first of the subsequent 12 matches of all NBA stars. In his debut match of all the stars, Robertson became the most valuable player, gaining 23 points and making 14 programs and 9 rebounds in the victorious game for the Western team.

Although the Royals season finished 14 victories more than in the previous one, the ratio of 33 victories to 46 defeats was enough only to take the last place in the Western division. Time magazine called him a bright representative of the new generation of players, characterized by high performance, athletism and commercial popularity. He also broke the Bob Coizi record two years ago by the number of programs for the season, making productive programs.

In the next season, Robertson continued to show outstanding results, proving that it is one of the best players of that time. According to the results of the season, he almost repeated the achievement last year-the Triple Dabb on average per game. Its indicators amounted to 28.3 points, 10.4 selection and 9.5 farts on average per game. Under the leadership of the new coach Jack McMachon, Robertson continued to improve his indicators.

Thanks to the support of the teammates of Jack Twinimin, Jerry Lucas, Wayne Embry and Adrian Smith, Robertson became the NBA leader in the percentage of the implementation of penalties and again almost gained Triple-Dabble on average for the game-31.4 points for the game of career records, 9.9 selection and 11 programs.

Despite the fact that Robertson continued to show a good game: his average performance was not lower than 24.7 points per game and he became the leader of the programs of the championship almost every season, his team had never passed further the first rank of playoffs, although it occupied high places in the regular championship.

Couzi was also going to exchange Robertson for Baltimore Bullets, but the deal did not take place. After six unsuccessful seasons, the team began to lose the support of the fans. To draw attention to the team, the summer head coach Bob Coizi even decided to return to the site for a while and the former Celtics playing for 7 games became a partner of Robertson. Under the leadership of Coizi, Royals had one of the highest performance in the League.

In the last 21 games of the season, the team scored more points, and in mid -February, the average performance was points. However, the club was able to win only 33 victories and could not go to the playoffs. Officially, the reason for this exchange was not voiced, but some experts explain him with the jealousy of the head coach of the Bob Coizi team to the fact that all the fans' attention was directed to Robertson.Oscar once said: "I think he was not right and I will never forget it." Possible exchange options for Lakers were Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain, but the leadership of Los Angeles refused to exchange its leaders.

However, this exchange gave a chance to Robertson to win the championship title. After six years of being in a team incapable of fighting the playoffs, he fell into the young club “Bax” were founded in the year, in which the future basketball star Lew Alsindor appeared a year ago, who would later change the name to Karim Abdul-Jabbar. With Alsindor under the shield and Robertson, the best result in the season was shown on the back line of Baks, which is still a club record.

In the course of the championship, the team won 20 wins in a row. Robertson played in all games of the season except one and gained an average of 19.4 points for the game and made 8.2 programs and 5.7 selection. With his help, the effectiveness of Alsindor became even larger and he was able to win his first title of MVP of the regular championship, and later the final series. The Bax coach described Oscar so much: "Jabbar is our legs and arms, and Robertson is our brain, eyes and heart." In the playoff games, the team lost only 2 times and won 12 victories, defeating San Francisco Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers and defeating the Baltimore Bullets in its path, won the Walter A A.

Cup. In the last fourth game, Robertson scored 30 points and made 9 programs. The Bullets coach Jin Shu put five different players against him, but not one could cope with him. Thus, Robertson for the first time in his career won the championship title, and Baks became the most successful expansion team, having won the championship title in the third year of its existence.

In the next three seasons, the Miluoi each time won the division champions title, and Abdul-Jabbar won the title of the most valuable player 2 more times. Robertson continued to show the effectiveness of more than 12 points per game. However, the fact that the club management exchanged several champion players did not allow Bax to become the dominant team of that time. In his last season, 53 victories in 29 defeats won the NBA NBA.

In the tense seven match series, Celtics managed to win, and Oscar Robertson at the age of 35, due to the increasing pain in his legs, decided to complete his sports career. Despite the fact that this season was the last in his career, many noted that he still remains that Oscar Robertson, plays as a twenty -year -old and few can stop him. Robertson against the National Basketball Association Oscar Robertson became president of the NBA players trade union in the year.

At that time, the association did not have the concept of minimum wages, sick leave, and pension provision. The players after the draft were attached to one team could leave it only if the club leadership torn a contract with them, and the owner of the club could fire any player for any reason. The salary of the players was also not very large. The only competitor of the NBA at that time was the American basketball association.

In the beginning of the x, the two leagues began to negotiate a merger and therefore Robertson in the year, as the president of the NBA players and the representative of Zincinnati Royals, filed an antitrust lawsuit against the NBA, which was called Oscar Robertson. Robertson himself said that the reason for filing a lawsuit was that the players literally belonged to clubs: players were not allowed to negotiate with other clubs, because at that time the concept of a free agent did not exist.
