1. The trade that won a title

Milwaukee Sent: Flynn Robinson and Charlie Paulk

Cincinnati Sent: Oscar Robertson

Flynn Robinson was a good player who had been selected to the All-Star team the year before Milwaukee had traded him, while Charlie Paulk had a short lived career in the NBA without ever really making any sort of meaningful impact.

In exchange for that duo, the Bucks got an All-Time great in Oscar Robertson. Although in the latter stages of his career, Mr Triple-Double was still comfortably one of the league’s best point guards.

Pairing him up with Kareem, Bob Dandridge and Jon McGlocklin was what the Bucks needed to push them over the edge to Championship glory.
