Robertson didn’t set the world on fire …

Robertson didn’t set the world on fire statistically in Milwaukee, averaging career lows of 19.4 points and 5.7 rebounds to go with 8.2 assists per game. But the Bucks had a 16-game win streak, then the NBA’s first 20-game win streak. Milwaukee finished 66-16 in only the franchise’s third season. Robertson’s last All-NBA season came in 1971, as he was selected to the second team. While Abdul-Jabbar was the NBA MVP, Dandridge suggested that Robertson was the closer. “He had something to work with, and with his leadership, he was able to distribute the ball,” Dandridge said. “He knew that he didn’t have to be the do-everything guy for the team to win. And he took advantage of that by taking a step back and allowing me to surface and (allowing Oscar to) play at his highest potential.
