Oscar Robertson was in my opinion the best Rookie of all-time. Even better from Wilt Chamberlain's (37.6 points, 27 rebounds, 2,3 assists) Rookie season.
Oscar after the University of Cincinnati was then taken by the Cincinnati Royals with the first overall pick in the 1960 draft.
He would go on to average 30.5 points, 10 rebounds and 9.7 assists per game.
Almost triple-double stats. Big O won Rookie of the Year helping add 14 wins to the Royals win total and was also named the All-Star Game MVP as a rookie, nearly notching a triple-double.

Oscar Robertson, by Russell Hoban, casein paint on masonite, 1961
“Few players in basketball history have rivaled the talent and versatility of the NBA All-Star known to fans as "The Big O." Averaging upwards of twenty-five points per game during fourteen stellar seasons with the Cincinnati Royals (1960-70) and the Milwaukee Bucks (1970-74), Oscar Robertson amassed a career record of 26,710 points to become the top-scoring guard of all time. His superb playmaking and rebounding skills coupled with his phenomenal ability to sink baskets from virtually anywhere on the court, made him both a defensive weapon and an offensive threat. Although some of his achievements have since been equaled or exceeded, Robertson continues to hold one of the most remarkable records in all of pro basketball, for he is the only player ever to have double digit averages in scoring, rebounding, and assists-a "triple-double"-throughout an entire season.” - The Smithsonian Institution
Russell Hoban would move to the UK in 1969 and become a successful writer of children’s books, science fiction, fantasy, poetry, and more.

CBS Sports: NBA 1975-ECSF-Game 4-Washington Wizards @ Buffalo Braves: Bob McAdoo Scores 50 Points
. Source:The New Democrat  Anytime there’s a choice between having the player who scored the most points in a game and the team that scored the most points in a game, especially a playoff game I would always take the team. When one player scores fifty points and his team loses, it generally means he was doing most of the scoring for his team in that game. And that his teammates weren’t doing much…

The complete shutout for Killers of The Flower Moon after the praise for its nominations is incredibly telling of how performative The Academy always has and will be.
The Osage murders were ignored for decades because the story wasn’t sensationalized enough to be “cared” about by people. It wasn’t a “big enough issue” to be treated with a fraction of respect or attention that it deserved.
Martin Scorsese did about everything he could to get Killers of the Flower Moon on the radar of those who would’ve otherwise completely ignored it [direct and fund it himself, two academy darling actors in main roles], and did so much outside of what they would want [made sure to give platform and voices to the Osage people where most would speak over them, even going as far to credit Robbie Robertson with so much of the films importance due to his indigenous heritage] and it still got ignored. Just a really shocking yet sadly expected decision made by an institution claiming they want to be more inclusive towards minority groups and stories. an institution who, after 96 years, had just nominated the first Native American actress and indigenous composer, yet still found a way to not reward them for their work.
It’s, once more, shocking yet not surprising. In my heart of hearts Lily Gladstone walked away an Oscar winner tonight, as deserved.

Oscar Robertson's impact on the league is undeniable, and his legacy deserves recognition. Despite his incredible accomplishments, such as averaging a triple-double for an entire season, Robertson often doesn't receive the credit he deserves. In my opinion, he is the greatest point guard in history. At 6'5", Robertson was a pioneer ahead of his time, showcasing his versatility with impressive scoring, playmaking, and rebounding numbers. Throughout his illustrious career, he averaged 25.7 points, 9.5 assists, and 7.5 rebounds per game. His contributions to the game should be acknowledged and celebrated.
