The Hall of Famer reflects on his NBA lawsuit that led to the creation of free agency and changed the game forever. Plus, he explains what it was like playing in the same era as the legendary Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell. 'The Big O' also shares stories about being a prominent athlete during his time, from being threatened by the KKK to dealing with racism on the road. He speaks on what it was like almost being drafted into the army and his relationship with the great Muhammad Ali. Finally, Oscar reveals his thoughts on the current-day NBA, including his favorite players to watch and why he has so much love for Russell Westbrook.
