    Big O is the man. He is a legend here in Indiana. He went to Crispus Attucks and led the first all black Indiana State Championship team. Very underatted player. He would be the other starting guard on my fantasy team next to MJ.

    Oscar Robertson the big O.

    In the 1961-62 NBA season, Robertson wrote NBA history. In that season, he became the only player in NBA history to average a triple-double for the entire season, averaging 30.8 points, 11.4 assists and 12.5 rebounds per game. He also convincingly broke the assists record by Bob Cousy, who had recorded 715 regular season assists two seasons earlier, by logging 899 of them. The Royals earned a playoff berth; however, they were eliminated in the first round by the Detroit Pistons. In the following 1962-63 NBA season, Robertson further established himself as one of the greatest players of his generation, averaging an impressive 28.3 points, 10.4 rebounds and 9.5 assists, narrowly missing out on another triple-double season. The Royals would charge into the Eastern Division Finals, but then succumb in a grueling seven games series against a great Boston Celtics team led by Bill Russell.

    In the 1963-64 NBA season, the Royals achieved an impressive 55-25 record, which meant second place in the Eastern Division. Under new coach Jack McMahon, Robertson flourished, and for the first time in his career, he had a decent supporting cast: second scoring option Jack Twyman was now supplemented by blossoming frontcourt players Jerry Lucas and Wayne Embry, and fellow guard Adrian Smith helped Robertson in the backcourt. Robertson had another magnificent season, leading the NBA in free-throw percentage, scoring a career-high 31.4 points per game, and averaging 9.9 rebounds and 11.0 assists per game — just missing another triple-double season.

    So extremely Lebron's no longer averaging a double double for this season or any season in view that he's been interior the NBA and you're speaking approximately him being faraway from averaging a triple double.
