Stumbled upon this gem, not sure if it's ever been posted. Big O was a force in his prime. Sublime passing, great handles and sort of like a mix between CP3 with the build of Jrue Holiday (physical, stout G). Great footage. Amusing as well was the referee the way he motioned for the "And 1" early on, with gusto.

Dont forget that he was one of the most efficient volume scorers of all time too, more efficient that even jerry west at his time (by a bit)

Can't forget his elite scoring. Dude won an MVP in the middle of the Wilt/Russell primes. He had a lethal mid-range jumper and was a very good FT shooter for that time.

That's my video 8-)

You won't find a more well rounded offensive player than Oscar, I can tell you that.

I'm of the opinion that Oscar was every bit as good as Magic(probably better towards the beginnings of their careers) but at the end of the day Magic won a lot more so rightfully or wrongfully Magic is rated higher. Which I'm ok with because winning a bunch of rings does count for something.

Oscar was very good, this is unquestionable.
