Ive always known about him, and I dont think hes forgotten. He averaged a triple-double, and thats amazing and all...but realisticly, we have LeBron James who probably couldve averaged a tiple-double then. He did only win one ring. He may not be mentioned with Bird, Magic or Jordan...but who else is? Robertson isnt any more overlooked than Jerry West, Elgin Baylor and the other greats are.

IMO, he doesn't seem like a a-hole to me, but he is one of those old-school players who believes that the NBA now would get wipped back then and he and other players are far superior to Bryant, Shaq etc. Him being like that can make him look like a a-hole though.

well, more than half of the old-school players are a-holes. The only ones who arent are the players who became coaches or GMs(Bird, MJ-2, Jerry West etc.)

If thats what he believes then thats what he believes, and considering who Robertson is, I'd me more apt to believe his opinion then some 18 year old high school kid. Robertson came from a rough childhood and had anger issues but it got better as he matured in the NBA, I have not heard anywhere that teammates specificly hated him for being a prick, I'd just like someone to find something so I have some 'proof'.
