Oscar Robertson Trophy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Oscar Robertson Trophy is given out annually to outstanding men's college basketball players by the United States Basketball Writers Association. The trophy is considered to be the oldest of its kind and has been given out since 1959. It was renamed after the college and professional legend Oscar Robertson in 1998. Five nominees are presented and the individual with the most votes receives the award during the NCAA Final Four.
The award was renamed The Oscar Robertson Trophy in 1998 because of Oscar’s outstanding career and his continuing efforts to promote the game of basketball. In 2004, an 18” bronze statue of Oscar was sculpted by world-renowned sculptor Harry Weber. The Trophy is presented to the College Player of the Year annually the Friday before the Final Four.
