To mark the 75th anniversary of the NCAA’s “March Madness” Tournament, 15 former stars of the event were chosen to form an all-time team. Since Oscar Robertson had led his University of Cincinnati Bearcats to two Final Four appearances, it was only natural that he was selected alongside the likes of Larry Bird, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan and Jerry West. To mark his selection to the elite fifteen, Robertson was presented with this 12” tall trophy. Weighing eight pounds, the solid silver-plated award features the 75th Anniversary logo with “OSCAR ROBERTSON CINCINNATI” engraved on its robust circular (5") marble base. The piece show just light wear from age and displays magnificently. Includes LOA from Oscar Robertson.
