Muggsy Bogues: "I'm not the one from the old eras hating the game today. I embrace it. I just know that it was different for each era. And the media always wants to say who the GOAT is, who the this and that is. I'm like, man, you know how many guys played this game? It's disrespectful to talk about who the one guy is, the master of the game of basketball. Everybody had different skill sets. Everybody did this game their way, everybody was great. But you go back from Wilt Chamberlain, we ain't played against them, and those guys, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West. It ain't for any individual to call themselves the GOAT. I think it's, but if you do, I mean that's your right if you feel that way because we always want you to be confident in this era, the different eras that is."
Julius Erving: "I picked my top five when I was 15 years old. I have not let anybody mess that up. I went with Chamberlain and Bill Russell, Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, and Oscar Robertson. When you are 15 years old and you see those five out there, that's permanent."

The Lead: Players to average 20/10/7 for a season before age 25: - Oscar Robertson - Nikola Jokic - Jalen Johnson (so far this szn)
Jorge Sierra: Even though he's not even in the Top 15 in All-Star selections, Oscar Robertson to this day remains the player with the most All-Star wins in NBA history. He went 11 of 12! Has one more win than Kobe Bryant (10 of 15) and LeBron James (10 of 21).
Stephon Castle became the youngest player in NBA history (21 years and 98 days old) to produce a 40-12-12 game, a record previously held by Oscar Robertson (22 years, 33 days), according to ESPN Research. Coincidentally, the second-year man eclipsed his previous career high of 33 points set exactly one year ago against the Charlotte Hornets. "I don't know, something about this day," Castle said, smiling. "Having a game like this, it's definitely a dream come true. It felt good just to be out there feeling comfortable with every shot that I took and [got to] see them go in."
