Brazilian Oscar Schmidt was drafted with the 131st pick in the sixth round by the New Jersey Nets. However, Schmidt turned down the offers to play in the NBA and stayed to play in Italy and later in Brazil. He played in five Olympics and was the top scorer in three of them. He finished his career with 49.737 points with various clubs and the Brazilian national team. In 2010, International Basketball Federation (FIBA) honored Schmidt with an induction to the FIBA Hall of Fame and Schmidt was inducted by the Naismith Hall in 2013.

How did they impede the man from playing with his national team. I wish he cluldve played in the NBA as well as for his National team
THEY PLAY COLLEGE PLAYERS NOT NBA PLAYERS
Faltou so a legenda em português
He chose to play for his country before joining the NBA. Several US players have turned down playing for Team USA over the years….just saying.
Nos tempos de oscar schimit, de 1978 ate 1992, a selecao do brasil conseguia se manter sempre entre as 4 melhores, foi 3o no mundial 78, 4o no mundila 86, campeao panamericano contra a pode3rosa estados unidos em indianapolis 87, com david robison e dani maning entre outros, sem oscar brasil nao jogava nada, mas com ele so perdia para 3 selecoes, o basquete era desnivelado, hoje vc nao sabe quem vai ganhar ou chegar na final mas naquela epoca sempre estados unidos, yougoslavia, uniao sovietica e brasil, o brasil com oscar so perdia para estes tres potencias, pra mais ninguem, argentina com ginobili e scola so passou a dominar ja com o oscar acima de 40 anos, antes nao ganhavam do brasil, raramente, e a melhor geracao do brasil foi dos anos 50 e 60, um tiem de ouro bicamapeao do mundo com amauryu wlamyr, mosquito, ubiratan, mosquito, e depois a geraçao 70 com edvar, ubiratan, adilson, mical, heliio rubens, marquinhos, e carioquinha, foram vice mundial em 70 e 3o em 78, a geração 80 foia 3a melhor, com oscar marcel, maury, vilas boas, israel, gerson vitalino, esse grupo que ganhava de todos menos das 3 potencias historicas, hoje com maioria na nba nao se consegue nem chegar numa semifinal olimpica ou mundial, esta muito nivelado, muito time europeu, astralia, argentina, venazuela, qualquer erro vc ta fora, como no jjoo do rio, onde por um erro bobo de um tecnico argentino perdemos a vaga para a argentina, mera coincidencia nao.
Some wrong thinking that someone must be great in what he do if he is in a league or a member of an organization just like in Pro-wrestling: the WWE and in here basketball: the NBA etc…
0:23–0:27.; Who was that?…
Disse não a NBA para poder seguir defendendo a seleção brasileira… não precisa falar mais nada, herói.
I don’t care about this Oscar guy lol I came here to see Michael jordan lol
and it was scripted for bulls to get jordan..wake up sheeple
Wow he looks like he was 40 back then
Isiah thomas in 6:10 ?
Dude was the European version of Larry Bird.
Oscar Schmidt was curry with 2.05m kkk of course one of the best players in the history.
Ele tinha um enorme talento,mas ele também é a prova que se treinar muito ,se consegue evoluir.
Comparing ayton to hakeem is criminal
Shai is John Stockton
Don't EVER EEEEEEEEEEVER compare Luka fatasss fukin doncic to Michael Jordan!!!
Both ayton and hakeem reach the finals at age 23 too
For rockets Fans Hakeem is the goat. He’s a past day Lebron. Was on a team of scrubs. Not including miami that team was goated. Then got a sencodary star to win a championship. Then both formed a super team that failed expectations.
Luka not as good as trae
There already comparing luka to Jordan 😯
The Chuck and Trae comparison is kinda stretching it
Also hakeem lost his first nba finals against a team who wears green and so did Ayton and people are criticizing young luka like they did Jordan bc they both was just seen as scorers so hopefully luka can take some lessons from mj and mature enough and have better teammates he can be in the goat conversation
Not repeat itself but it certainly rhymes
No way this man compared Luke to MJ
I think trae and Barkley are a bad comparison, Barkley beat all the expectations where as Trae was questioned on defense due to his size and is still a lackluster defender. Everyone knew Trae would be gifted on offense but people were scared Barkley couldn’t handle the top level of talent at all due to his size and he wouldn’t have been able to play a smaller position due to skill set.
Just like jordan, luka also keeps losing in the first round. just like hakeem, ayton also made the finals early in his career
I like Luka, but he’s nowhere near MJ. And, Ayton is nowhere near Hakeem lmao.
the trae wearing shorts tho
Given enough time history will always repeat itself
to be fair, nobody thought MB was gonna go second lol
Luka might not reach MJ but he'll be an all time legend when he retires
The draft of ‘84 😂😂😂
Suns didn’t go wrong when they picked Deandre Ayton.
