Оскар Робертсон: «В отличие от Карри, Бадди Хилд не только снайпер, но и великолепный баскетболист»
Легендарный Оскар Робертсон сравнил защитника Университета Окахома Бадди Хилда с разыгрывающим «Голден Стэйт» Стефеном Карри, намекая на то, что будущий новичок НБА талантливее действующего MVP лиги.
«Не думаю, что кто-то может его остановить, так же, как никто не может остановить Стефа Карри. Кроме того, Хилд может пройти под кольцо и забрать подбор. Это многое значит, помимо того, что он снайпер, он великолепный баскетболист», – цитирует Робертсона Complex Sports.

“Let me tell you about what being great is. Ever hear of Elgin Baylor? Never mention his name, do we? Great basketball player. You know what you have today? Michael Jordan was a great player, but he won after Chicago got Pippen, Grant and those other players to go along with him, because for a while they couldn’t beat Detroit.
“Everybody looks at what you’ve done. Sure he won six championships, Russell won eleven. There are other players on these teams when they play. They don’t play by themselves. Michael Jordan is a great player. Was he the greatest? Ask Kobe that. Ask Bill Russell. Ask Oscar Robertson. Ask Wilt Chamberlain. Ask Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, ask those guys.”
“The problem today is you get some people you have never been around a
basketball,” he said. “The media now has anointed Michael Jordan the
greatest of all time. Is he greatest of all time? No, I don’t think he
is. I think he is a great player. There have been other great players as
well, great players before I played. Now you have a situation where
Pippen is saying (James) could be better than Michael Jordan, and
everyone gets so upset by it. All these commentators, did they ever see
any of these guys play?”
