Oscar's family could not afford to buy a basketball; the youngster learned to shoot by tossing tennis balls and rags held together with rubber bands into a peach basket.
Robertson was trained by his high school coach, whose emphasis on a fundamentally sound game had a positive effect on the star's style of play.
After he graduated from high school, Robertson's impressive basketball skills got him admission to the University of Cincinnati, where he first met Yvonne.
Oscar Robertson was then attracted to Yvonne's gorgeousness, intelligence, and talent as a pianist that the duo started dating for two years. The couple later got married on a perfect June day in 1960 right after Oscar's graduation.
During the wedding ceremony, which occurred at the Carmel Presbyterian Church in front of family and friends, Oscar wore a black morning coat while Yvonne looked as beautiful as always.
Robertson's impressive performance earned him a triple-double over his first five seasons in the NBA with the Royals recording averages of 30.3 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 10.6 assists per game in 451 games.
In 1970, much to everyone's surprise, Oscar Robertson was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks. The father-of-three was disappointed with his team and the coach's behavior, but the trade was very lucrative. "Big O" got to play with an all-star team of players, such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
His team won the NBA title in his first season there and dominated the entire season. In 1972 and 1973, he helped his team win the division titles, and in 1974, he helped them to reach the NBA Finals.
After he retired from the NBA, the 11-time member of the All-NBA Team was inducted to the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame, National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame, and the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
