Name that player!

Jim is an excellent rebounder and is also deadly with his unique two hand shot, that he pushes off the heels of his hands. Coming to the Royals after a season with the Lakers, Jim expects to repeat his high scoring ways that made him one of the most exciting college hoopsters in 1955.

Who is it?


"Big Mo" does everything like a champ. He is the top man in the rebound department, having set the N.F.L. record last season, with 1256 grabs. He's the organizer of the Royals' fast break, is a great passer and can pop the ball in with his fine jump shot from the rim of the circle.

Who is it?


The "Deadeye Dick" of the court, Jack is one of the game's finest shooters. In six years of pro activity, he has never finished with a shooting mark below 42 per cent. He led the league in field goal percentages in the 1958-59 season, hitting 465 of 1,028 for a .452 percentage. He was second in 1959-60, when only Wilt Chamberlain's 2707 points topped his 2338. He holds the record for most points scored in the Cincinnati Gardens, netting 59 points against Minneapolis on January 15, 1960.

Back to the Front! Royals card back du jour...

Oscar Robertson
The "Big O" was the overwhelming selection as the NBA's Rookie of the Year for 1960-61. He was even more brilliant in his first year with the Royals than he had been as a three-time college Player of the Year and All-American with the University of Cincinnati. Quickly establishing himself as one of the gate attractions of the NBA, Oscar became the first rookie guard to score more than 2,000 points. He finished fourth in scoring with 2,165 points and was the leader in assists with 690.
