The one person who gets overlooked - Oscar Robertson.
There is also one record that none of the superstars can or ever will break. The record holder is a hall of famer, but got in mainly due to his service to the league - Tom 'Satch' Sanders. He won an NBA Championship his first six years in the league. He also won 8 in his first nine seasons. No one has come close. One of the closest is John Havlicek who won his first four and 6 of his first seven seasons.
