Big-O Cincinnati Royals

I recently came across a brief resume of Robertson carrer reading "the book of basketball" of Bill Simmons.
Robertson was the first example of play maker in a big body, something that later became more usual with Magic.
His skill set and body type made a terrible mis-match for every defender and allowed him to collect great numbers in differents statistics. An incredible versatile player capable to complete 181 triple double and to average for 5 season 30+ points, 10+ rebounds, 10+ assist!
Somethimg unbelievable that wouldn't Lebron is capable nowadays; true time was different but stil, outstanding numbers!
Big-O was drafted as a territorial pick by Cincinnati in 1960.
The basket jersey of robertson in Cincinnati then became an interestimg memorabilia knowing tha Cincinnati Royals are not anymore an NBA franchise and that in those year Robertson recorded soma mad stats.
It would be like wearing a part of Nba history for real Nba fans, not many woukd understand the value of the action made in the 60s big such a big man and modern player for the time!
