Why is this guy overlooked when people consider the greatest players?
He's not. He's consistently in the top 10 lists.

He doesn't get discussed more because the younger generation has never seen him play.

He's always mentioned and should be. He's also one of the biggest assholes you will ever meet. When I was in college I went to the same gym as him in Cincy. The weight room was connected to the bball courts and you had to walk through the courts to get to them. One day he was shooting around and his basketball rolled in front of me when I was walking past. Naturally I just picked it up and threw it back to him. He proceeded to get in my face and scream at me, dropping the f bomb several times. Now I wasn't much of a bball player but could hold my own. So instead of backing down my buddy and I picked up a couple of others and played him and his boys full court, and won. In the process Big O continued his tirade, mostly vs his teammates. I thought that maybe he was just having a bad day, but it turned out it was just the way he was. He was the same a-hole every other time I saw him.
