Back in the '60s when Oscar was in his prime the NBA played by the rules. There was no palming, no drop step, no extra steps, no double pivot feet and there were only 9 teams which made the league truly elite. The NBA was full of all-Americans of which many were on the bench. Oscar was not only still the greatest player of all-time but was as fundamentally sound as any player the game has ever known.

But you can't argue with success, as Oscar would have a career shooting percentage of 49% from the field, 84% from the line, and would establish himself as one of the greatest guards in NBA history!

All these guys were excellent shooters in the NBA. Oscars jump shot form is better than it looks - if you look at how he positions the ball at the beginning of the shot, it's lined up perfectly and the elbow is in. O just recoils quickly but still has perfect backspin. Cazzie was a great shooter and never met a shot he didn't like. lol He was a quintessential small forward with the Warriors and teamed well with the Nate the Great and Jeff Mullins.

pebutts One of the unorthodox aspects of the Big O's shot is that it was mainly with the right hand - his right hand was so strong and controlled the ball so well that he didn't use his off hand to guide the shot very much. You can really see it when Oscar shoots free throws. Oscar was also unusual in that he was a true power guard - if you gave him a 20 footer, he wanted a 15 footer and would back you down. Of course, he was also extremely quick too. Oscar was truly a dominant guard and would have been so in any era in my opinion.

When Oscar came through HS and college, the jump shot itself had just been invented. The jump shot as we know it did not become common until the mid-late 1950s -- before that most guys shot running one-hand push shots. When you see videos of Pettit and Dolph Schayes from the mid-50s, most of their shots were one-hand push shots. Oscar's one-hand jumper was revolutionary for its time. Oscar also played center in HS and college, and shifted to guard in the NBA.

There are just more good, pure shooters now. Defenses are contesting more and more shots, but three point percentages are on the rise, with more threes taken. The stats themselves disprove what you are saying. Also, when you start the conversation with players from the '60's, and then move on to Ray Allen, you are shifting your argument. Ray Allen transformed into a great shooter during the modern era.

Anybody who thinks West or any other player from the golden age of the NBA which ran the entire span of Oscar's career was superior to him are either highly misinformed or delusional. Oscar was the best at the most difficult endeavor in all team sports. That's shooting and passing simultaneously while being as good as anyone ever at doing each of the two. For the vast majority of West's career he was a SHOOTER PERIOD. West also didn't have to contend with Russell, S. Jones & the Celtics in his own division for most of his prime. BTW, Sam Jones was the real "Mr. Clutch" and made twice as many clutch shots than West who never beat Sam in a playoff series. As far as Oscar's playoff performance goes he did magnificent things that were not on national TV because he still had to get by Boston to even get to national TV which at that time was only the finals. Oscar's performance in the 1963 Eastern Finals stands alone in NBA history. He scored 43 in Boston in game one to steal a win and 43 in game 7 (in Boston) where Auerbach tried to foul him continually (he made 21 of 22). However, in game 7 that Mr. Clutch scored 47 , all things considered, the greatest performance ever by a Celtic and saved the Russell/Auerbach dynasty from Oscar's heroic effort. Oh and to force a game 7 Oscar delivered 36 with 15 Reb. & 14 AS. This is the actual story of Oscar's career: As a HS senior he was already the best amatuer player in the country; by the end of his college Junior season he was the best PLAYER in the country; by the end of his 2nd NBA season he was the best player of all time; by the end of his 1963-64 MVP season (between 1960-68 only one other than Russell or Wilt to win it) he was greatest player the game will ever see. Remember the NBA played by the actual rules of the game in the 60's. There was no palming, no extra steps, no double pivot feet, no drop step and the league, which was truly elite, was full of consensus All-Americans of which a high number were on the "bench".

I disagree. Oscar remains one of my all time favorite players ever, but it's not like West was a slouch. Jerry was a great shooter, yes, but it's a mistake to think he didn't do anything else. The guy led the league in assists one year and averaged over six assists a game eight times. He was one of the best defenders in the league too. The only year that steals and blocks were kept during their careers, West outperformed Oscar in both categories and West, not Oscar, was selected to multiple all-defensive teams. West was first team all-defense four times and second team once, despite being at the end of his career. Oscar was never selected to an all-defensive team. Oscar's teams missed the playoffs entirely four times. I don't think you can blame that on the Celtics. They also lost to the Pistons in the playoffs in Oscar's triple double year. Yes, Robertson's performance against Boston in 1963 was one of the great individual efforts of all time, but the next year Oscar shot 40% from the floor while giving up 25 a game to Sam Jones as the Celtics steamrolled the Royals. And it wasn't like Oscar didn't have help on that team. He had Wayne Embry (five time all star), Jack Twyman (six time all star), and Jerry Lucas (seven times). I really wish Cincinnati would have been able to get to the Finals against Los Angeles and we could have seen the matchup between two of the best guards ever on the grand stage. Oscar was great. I don't think there's ever been a greater guard in the history of the NBA and that includes Magic, Michael, Kobe, and whoever else you want to throw in there. But I don't think you establish Oscar's greatness by trashing Jerry West, who also belongs in the discussion of the absolute very best guards of all time.

Just another reason Oscar is the GOAT. He is the only player in NBA history to score at least 2000 pts & make at least 600 FTs in each of his 1st 7 seasons in the league. During that stretch he also led the NBA in total assists in 5 seasons & led his team to the play-offs in 6 seasons. To put this monumental accomplishment into perspective consider the following: Wilt made 600 FTs just 2 times in his career, Bird, Jabbar & O'Neal never made more than 504 FTs in any season, West & Baylor each scored 2000 pts only 5 times in their careers, Durant has made 600 FTs only 3 times & has never made more than 457 assists in his career, Bryant made 600 FTs 4 times & never made more than 469 assists in any season in his career, Jordan made 600 FTs only 4 times during his career & finished in the top 10 in assists once, Magic never made 600 FTs or scored 2000 pts in a season during his career, LeBron made 600 FTs in a season just once in his career. Of all the players mentioned above only Wilt & LeBron led the NBA in total assists once but neither time did either of them score 2000 pts in that season.

That's a great stat and really illustrates how Oscar excelled in a way nobody else ever really did. Oscar was a fantastic offensive player and drew contact like no other guard probably ever has. He would back his man down and get into a position where nobody could contest his jumper, forcing guys to foul him. I really enjoy watching Oscar tapes, because you can just see him maneuvering his helpless defenders around. It's like watching a chess grandmaster set up the board.

For a player of his caliber to shoot below 70% multiple seasons is a disgrace, particularly since he is generally a good, even some seasons very good, shooter from three point distance. James Harden goes to the line a lot and is a good shooter from there, but he flops more than a soccer player. As much as I love watching Oscar, I just hate seeing Harden play. Oscar was just damn great. It's too bad he played in an era that was so dominated by (mostly) Russell's Celtics and Wilt's teams in the east. By the time Russ retired and Wilt moved west, the Royals were mired in misery. I'm sure Oscar thought he'd never get a chance to play for a title.

Of the two, Jerry West was my favorite player. I wore #44 when I was a kid. But Oscar was a more dominant player and a better defender as well. Both were great! Oscar was better.

+C Howard As for college and their first 5 seasons, Oscar holds a clear edge. But after 66' when the league basically got bigger, blacker, and better...West remained consistent and even improved while Oscar's statistics dipped pretty dramatically. I'm not sure how you could say Oscar was better defensively than West when Jerry averaged 2.7 steals per game for his career and Oscar averaged 1.1 steals and that was at the very end of their careers. Jerry also made 5 First Team All Defense at the end of his career, Oscar never made first team all defense. You showed their career averages, here are their playoff averages: Oscar: 22.2 / 6.7 / 8.9 46% field goal 1.1 / 0.1 Jerry: 29.1 / 5.6 / 6.3 47% field goal N/A West showed up big time for the playoffs, but Oscar was still well-rounded. Oscar was better against the weaker part of the 60's, while West was better for the more competitive part of the 60's and the 70s

Daniel Clark Well, I love Jerry West more than Oscar. Again, Jerry West was my favorite player as a kid. But Oscar was better. And Oscar would dominate today. He's too strong for Kyrie Irving, Steph Curry, Jeff Teague, Isaiah Thomas, D. Lillard, John Wall, K.Lowry, R. Rondo etc...He'd punish them all one by one. You'd have to double him.

Best shooter in the history of basketball, period. And that includes Steph Curry or anybody else you want to throw out there. If he had had the right coaches in the NBA he would have scored 25000 career points and they'd still be talking about him today. Unfortunately, he had too many obstacles to overcome being a "pioneer" of sorts, so he had to "settle" for just being a hall of famer instead.

@@jaykay6387 I watched Calvin all through his college days at Niagara. I agree with your assessment. To this day I am still angry that the expansion Buffalo Braves passed him over in the draft for John Hummer, a klutz of a forward. Calvin was automatic from the free throw line, and I can still see him shooting from the deep corners. Before the 3 point line came in. The man could dribble with any one of his fingers, with the ball about an inch off the floor. One game I was at, he and Bob Lanier almost came to blows. I think Calvin would have whooped him. Calvin is my favorite player of all time.

@@saabtech3510 I was very young when Calvin was at Niagara(10-13) and only got to see him on TV once in a while and maybe one in person game per year. Grew up in the Norwalk, CT area (Calvin's hometown), so obviously we were rabid fans. My dad and his buddies who all had went to Norwalk High used to go to every game that was within driving distance, they really were fanatics. They didn't care if Niagara won, they just wanted Calvin to score 50 points every game! I remember after one particular game in his sophomore year, he dropped 52 on St. Peters in the Jersey City Armory. I was at that one, he was firing from everywhere, he'd get two steps across half court and start bombing away! Anyway, we get home and they are sitting around the kitchen table recounting the game. My dad's buddy was actually mad that he "only" took 30 shots! Those were the days!

@@jaykay6387 Great experience! My Dad was a Niagara Grad and knew Niagara coach Frank Laden. We went to every home game. People have no idea how good Calvin was. This was not only the days before the 3 point line, but there was no shot clock. So, many games were low scoring, as part of the strategy was often to slow the pace of play, especially if one had a decent lead later in the game. It is amazing to score as many points as he did under those circumstances. A guy gets 50 points in an NBA game, but maybe the team scored 128. I saw teams with a lead try to slow it down and hold onto the ball only to have Calvin, or Wingate strip them of the ball and take it all the way to the hoop. Those were the days! Local college ball was beyond belief. The Little Three competition was unsurpassed. At the Aud downtown Buffalo, you would have a standing room only crowd of 12,000 for Niagara vs. Canisius, and half the crowd was for each team. Every basket half the entire audience would roar to their feet like it was a goal in a triple overtime hockey game. I'm not kidding. Best sports experiences I ever had.

@@saabtech3510 Thanks so much for that! I listened on a crackly AM radio to as many of those games as we could locate on the dial(it wasn't easy). Our "Norwalk crew" were not big fans of Frank Layden, as we didn't like his approach to how he utilized Calvin on the floor. As a Soph, he was pretty much given carte blanche by Jim Maloney, bringing the ball up the floor like a point guard, but Layden had him running "patterns" which we felt was very limiting for Calvin. I remember one game at Fairfield(not sure if it was Junior or Senior year) they had him running around the court in the first half and he barely touched the ball, scored like 3 points. My dad and his buddies were going apoplectic, yelling at Layden to "turn the kid loose"! They hated him, and believed that he hurt his career and pro chances. In hindsight, obviously Layden was there to win games, but the truth was maybe somewhere between those two extremes. Anyway, did you or anybody you know happen to be at the legendary Syracuse game when he scored 68? That must have been something to see!
