Oscar Robertson: Dear Bucks fans and players, It’s been 50 years coming. Fifty long years, and it’s down to two games. I’ll be honest, it really makes me reflect. When we won back in ’71, it was a big deal. And for me, especially, because it took over 10 years in the league to get to that moment. I called my wife. That’s what I remember from that night. She’d been with me through it all, since I was drafted in 1960, in fact. And so she’d seen me accept a lot of criticism. You see, I was a star player, 11 times All-NBA. But I didn’t have a championship, so certain people denied me a level of credibility.
