Perhaps the greatest all-around player in basketball history, Oscar Robertson revolutionized basketball as a member of the Cincinnati Royals and won a championship with the Milwaukee Bucks. When he was twenty-three, in 1962, he accomplished one of basketball's most impressive feats: averaging the triple-double in a single season--a feat never matched since. Cocaptain of the Olympic gold medal team of 1960; named the player of the century by the National Association of Basketball Coaches; named one of the fifty greatest players in NBA history; and inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1980--Robertson's accolades are as numerous as they are impressive. But The Big O is also the story of a shy black child from a poor family in a segregated city; of the superstar who, at the height of his career, became the president of the National Basketball Players Association to try to improve conditions for all players. It is the story of the man forced from the game at thirty-four and blacklisted from coaching and broadcasting. But two years after he left basketball, after six years of legal wrangling, Robertson won his lawsuit against the NBA, eliminating the option clause that bound a player to a single NBA team in perpetuity and ending restrictions on free agency. The Big O is the story of how the NBA, as we now know it, was built; of race in America in the second half of the twentieth century; and of an uncompromising man and a complex hero.

Smells great, and absorbs well! Love it!
Scent: Majestic Oud, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This product is great. I use it on my goatee. It smells great and makes my beard and mustache nice and soft. I can't stop touching it. I wasn't sure what particular fragrance to pick, so I randomly chose Majestic Oud. Sometimes the ladies don't like kissing a guy with facial hair, but they do when it smells good, and it's soft! It absorbs well; you just have to work it in. Best when the beard is softened after you wash your face, or after a shower. Wish this product came in a larger size, but a little goes a long way, after all, it's oil. If you want a touchable, tamed beard, I think this is a good one. It's all natural, good quality, and not at all sticky or gooey. It's not messy; it absorbs into the beard quickly. You still have to wash your hands, or just rub it into your hands.

Good product does what it says
Scent: Sandalwood, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Picked up the Viking Revolution Beard Oil for Men - Natural Mens Beard Oil with Argan Oil and after reading through several options. It performs well for what I need it to do. Packaging was solid and it arrived in good shape. Only minor gripe is that the instructions could be a bit clearer but it was not a big deal to figure out.
