Known as an intelligent player and respected by his peers as an intelligent man, Robertson puts an exclamation point on the accolades with this thoughtful reflection on a life lived without compromise. A well-written, entertaining, and thought-provoking sports autobiography-but would we ever expect less than a triple-double from the Big O? -Wes Lukowsky, Booklist -- Wes Lukowsky Booklist Oscar Robertson is an incomparable superstar. He is also a thoughtful man and a man of vision. If you want insight into what formed Oscar in the crucial years of his youth, look here. It's a great book. -Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Kareem Abdul-Jabbar As one of the NBA's all-time greats, Oscar Robertson has much to pass on to both his old fans and young basketball enthusiasts perhaps unfamiliar with his legacy. -Publishers Weekly Publishers Weekly Oscar Robertson is remarkably honest in his autobiography, The Big O: My Life, My Times, My Game... It's a fun read. -Zach Lowe, SI.com -- Zach Lowe SI.com Oscar was one of basketball's great leaders, and his life is one of basketball's great stories. He was unafraid, unabashed, and unmatched in everything he did. There will never be another like him. -Bill Russell Bill Russell Oscar Robertson was never a rookie. He was the measuring stick for how a player should play. It is an honor to know him and to have competed against him. He is a man for the ages. -Jerry West Jerry West
