To basketball fans, Oscar Robertson was a dream athlete: He danced on the court, beat the racism that pervaded professional sports in the 1960s, and elevated the sport to an art form, according to some. Often called the "eyes and ears of basketball," Robertson gained a level of confidence that took him from the Olympics to the NBA teams, the Cincinnati Royals and the Milwaukee Bucks.
