The 1964/65 season was the Royals 19th season in the NBA and its 8th in Cincinnati. By the end of the season, Oscar Robertson's career stats for the first five years of his career averaged out to a triple double. His career average was 30.3 points per game, 10.4 rebounds per game, and 10.6 assists per game.[1] The season began with high hopes as the Royals had played well the previous season against Boston and were improving as a team. In addition to Robertson, second-year big man Jerry Lucas rose to superstar status this season. He averaged 21 points and a stunning 20 rebounds over 66 games played. He would joined Robertson on the All-NBA First Team named at the season's conclusion. Injuries, though, were a big factor this season. Key guard Bucky Bockhorn was lost to a career-ending injury in November. The other four opening day starters, Robertson, Lucas, Jack Twyman and Wayne Embry, were each lost for several games each or more also. Lucas was named MVP of the 1965 NBA All-Star Game. But the same day's events saw superstar Wilt Chamberlain traded to the rival Philadelphia 76ers. Now Cincinnati had two strong title contenders to deal with in their own division. Philadelphia would later defeat the Royals in the 1965 playoffs.
