Oscar Robertson on Team USA Hoops

The World Basketball Championship began in Turkey on August 28. For last week's program, Only A Game's Doug Tribou reported on Team USA Basketball past and present.
The story featured comments from Basketball Hall of Fame members Oscar Robertson and Lenny Wilkens. In August, Robertson was inducted again, this time as a member of the 1960 Olympic team. Wilkens, who was already inducted as player and as a coach, was inducted for a third time for his work as an assistant coach to the 1992 "Dream Team."
To listen to Doug's complete conversations with Oscar Robertson click on the "listen" link above. Robertson offers his thoughts on whether the 1960 team could have beaten the 1992 team; how his Olympic experience compares to his other career highlights, and whether using pro players is a good thing for Team USA.
We've also posted Doug's complete conversation with Lenny Wilkens.
