Record: 66-16
Oscar Robertson was near the end of his career entering 1970, and he still hadn’t achieved ultimate glory: an NBA championship.
The 1970-71 season marked a new beginning for Robertson, as he became a part of a young Milwaukee Bucks team.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Bucks’ superstar, established himself as a dominant force in the NBA in his rookie season.
The 1970-71 season was no different, as he continued to impose his will on all opponents, averaging 31.7 PPG and 16.0 RPG.
Robertson, the aging, walking triple-double, infused himself as a part of the team, as he masterfully distributed the ball to his teammates.
In addition, a young Bob Dandridge contributed 18.4 PPG and 8.0 RPG.
In the end, the Milwaukee Bucks proved to be too overwhelming for opposing teams, as they won 66 games.
The team had an equally impressive playoff run, as it defeated Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry West’s Lakers in the Western Conference finals before sweeping the Baltimore Bullets in the NBA Finals.
Finally, with the help of great players, Robertson was able to win a title.
