This team was made up of some really great future NBA all-stars, the "dream team" before there was the Dream Team. Every time I see a picture or a clip of Oscar Robertson, like this one, I can't help but think that he and Cincinnati never won against BU and Chet Walker in Peoria.

The starting five of the 1952 Caterpillar Diesels also won the Helsinki Gold Medal
