  1. Bird played Oscar Schmidt once. July 25, 1992 during the olympics. Oscar had a bad game going 8 for 25. But scored 24 and hit 5 out of 10 threes. Bird played 21 minutes and scored 5 points. Obviously he was at the end.

  2. The greatest basketballer ever to come from Brazil!!! πŸ‡§πŸ‡·πŸ‡§πŸ‡·πŸ‡§πŸ‡·πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€

  3. Guys don't mess with Brazilians with sport. We are a poor country but besides our soccer team we have: guga kuerten, ayrton senna, oscar schimt, joao do pulo, our beach volley, ou saloon volley, and much more

  4. Oscar Schmidt former Brazilian basketball player: He trained, trained and trained. And when I was really tired… I trained a little more. / "The limit was what I trained, you can't train more than I did. I made 1,000 pitches a day during my whole life, apart from training. This Holy Hand thing isn't true, it's Hand Trained"

  5. In the nets training camp he told the coach Ill score a point for each minute and if you give me 40 minutes per game ill score 60 points in 5 games the coach gave in 25 minutes per game and he scored 25 points per game

  6. If the NBA didn't have the rule that stopped Oscar from playing in the States we would have seen the sport of basketball spread sooner and further than we have today
