Oscar Robertson, an old NBA superstar, had a stunning 14-year career, becoming a 12-time all-star NBA and one of the top scoring guards ever in the league. Still, his biggest achievement will have to be his work for building affordable housing in Indianapolis for African Americans in. Back in 2007, the University of Cincinnati awarded him with an Honorary Doctorate in Human Letters for his excellent efforts to better the community. The NBA icon loves woodworking when he has time as well.
