"Oscar Robertson " said the Big 0, extending his powerful right hand. "LeBron James," the Cavaliers star responded in a sweet, though somewhat awkward publk moment. On Tuesday night, old school and new school were finally in session together as Robertson. Mr. TripleDouble himself, spent a few minutes with James, the 21)ear-old who could one day equal Robertson's astounding feat of averaging a tripledouble - at least 10 points, rebounds and assists per game -for an entire season. In 1961-62, his second season as a pro; Robert son averaged 30.8 points, I 2.5 ~ebounds and IIA assists. But back then, before 3-second violations or 3-pointers were the norm, numbers · were, well, just numbers. . So for nearly two decades: Robertson's statistical achievement went · unrecogrized. "I didn 't reall y: know it then," Robertson ~id, "and the NBA didn't until they thought what Magic (Johnson) did was such a great story they went back in the archives and found out, 'Oh, by the way, there was a guy named Oscar Robertson that did it Ion~ before he did.' I guess 11 surprised them." These days, "tripl~·dou­ ble" is part of the pro hoops lexicon , a phrase flung · around casually by media, . players and fans as if it has been around since Jame s Naismith nailed up his peach , baskets . But as the 67-year-old Robertson points out, it's now much easier to record a triple-double than when he . played .. "Every time you score it 's an assist now," .said Robertson, who · had . 181 · career triple-doubles. "But when I played you had to be going to the basket on the dribble. So it's easy to get the assists. but the rebounds are the toughest things to get night in and night out." Robertspn made it all look .easy.

A game and a season saved by an improbable tackle - by quarterback Ben Roethl1sberger, of all people, El1mmating Super Bowl favorite Indianapolis a few weeks after the Colts seemed poi sed to go undefeated.

But here are the facts. The Steelers ha\en 't won the last game of the NFL season since J1mmy Carter was presIdent and Terry Bradshaw was the1r quarterback dunng the 1979 season '·You work hard to travel th1 s path , but if you're not able to fm1sh the deal you ' ll be forgotten," Cowher sa1d. "You ha ve a chance to put your name up there with some 9f the grea t team s. That's the opportumty that you're selling to your play- ers." It's also why Cowher IS trying to keep this off week close to a regular week, even if he knows that IS impossible. Cowher IS attemptmg to keep the edge, ·ambition and motivauon the Steelers fed off while beaurtg'C mcinnaii, Ind1anapolis and Denver during the first sweep of a conference 's No. I, 2, and 3 seeds.

Then, after another day otT Sunday, they 'll travel to Detroit on Monday to resume preparations for the Feb 5 game against Seattle. Cowher's decision to wear white jerseys in the Super Bowl , rather than the traditiOnal black they wear at home, also retlects his deme to keep thmgs as they have been during a seven-game winnmg streak. "We 're pl ay mg m the Super Bowl, so how can we have a letdown?" nose tackJe Casey Hampton said. "I can't see how that can happen." Cowher can, and he has cautioned hi s players all week - either m person or through the media - about the dangers of relaxmg for even a moment. Like the Steelers, who feel they were unJUStlfiUbly overlooked l)ead111 g into the playoffs desp1te going 26-6 the last two seasons, Cowher sa1d the Seahawks believe they have somethmg to prove. Because they ' re located three times zones removed from the populous East Coast med1a centers, the Seahawks are convmced their 13-3 record d1dn't attract the admiration it warranted.
