- The story of the NBA cannot be told without Oscar Schmidt, the most prolific scorer in the history of the world. But that hasn't stopped our fellow Americans from trying to do exactly that. So today, with LeBron James on pace to break Oscar's record of 49,737 career points, Pablo travels to glorious Orlando, Florida and sits down with the legend who refused to play in the league, despite getting drafted. And we find out why Oscar's impact on basketball - like his laugh - still echoes through the game today.

This show is like if ESPN and NPR had a baby and I’m here for it.
Word.
Yep
Pretty much.
Nice qualification! Disco is what happens when funk and soul had sex without a condom.
The way Pablo is able to craft a narrative throughout these episodes is wild. This was a great one
For us brazilians, Oscar Schmidt "Holy Hand" is beyond a legend, he's together with our all time greatests: Pelé, Ayrton Senna, etc
Schmidt is German and Brazil/Argentina is full of them
@@TERRYKATHCHICAGOHe is BRAZILIAN. It is funny, when something goes wrong, we're purely Brazilians. But when something is outstanding we are Portuguese Brazilians (Senna), African Brazilians (Pelé), German Brazilians (Schmidt)... As far as we are concerned, Brazil, as a European colony, was older than the USA. But beware, John Wayne is not viewed as Scottish/ Irish/ English. Or Hemingway is viewed as English, from Yorkshire - from where his mother and father families came from. Both Wayne and Hemingway are viewed as very Americans, with some ancestors that came from Europe. On the other hand, the German immigration to Brazil started in the 1820s. It is a lot of time. More than two centuries ago. And the majority of those German immigrants mixed with other ethnicities. Some white Europeans (Italians, Ukrainians, Russians, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, Armenians, Jews...). Some not (Native Americans, Africans, Japanese). Some that were already mixed. Schmidt himself is also Bezerra, from his mother's side, which is a very common family name in Northeast Brazil (Nordeste), where he was born. Bezerra is of Portuguese origin, but in Nordeste almost everyone is of mixed stock. Therefore, his mother is probably from Portuguese and Native American stock. Anyway, it is due to this large community of descendants - hard working people, including the Germans - that some regions in Brazil are relatively wealthy. (That is why ex-Nazis were attracted to South America. Not the contrary).

@@TERRYKATHCHICAGOWow bro. You got cooked. 🤣
Unbelievable. One of my favorite stories you’ve done Pablo! Love this dude.
Really incredible work. Oscar glows throughout this, love him and his story.
Fantastic interview . I remember as a young boy watching him catch fire and take the Pan AM game over . What a wonderful person full of passion and laughter ! Great stuff yall !! #ptfo
Kobe loved Oscar Schmidt from his time watching him when he was overseas with his dad as a kid
Pablo has come a long way since HQ legitimately great interviewer go Pablo
The world needs to know this man! Hes a living legend, thanks for what u done for Brasil 🇧🇷
Another fabulous episode. No one is going what Pablo is doing right now.
We need a part 2 with Arvydas Sabonis, the other guy who helped created the Dream Team
Oscar + Pablo = Great Laughs
Awesome episode🫡
yyyýýyyyýy
I knew this story , but the way Pablo told it has such a unique beauty . Great episode.
Oh, some of us oldheads have heard him - watching him drop 50 for Brazil in the Olympics
Oscar Schmidt HE’S ON FIRE
I knew about Oscar Schmidt.. today I Found Out about Oscar Schmidt. Thank you Pablo (and team)!!
Oscar was so fucking good. Respect to him and his game
Wow! Great way to put out a must tell story! Oscar done in the 80’s what nba started doing just after curry.
As a Nets fan, it hurts that they're messing up in the 80's
Unbelievable content to get on a Thursday, thank you PTFO crew Oscar rules
The laugh at 5:20 is a pure dopamine hit 😂
I got goose bumps after the win and the national anthem
Another excellent piece, Pablo is truly educating and enlightening. In my 60's, and I remember Mr. Schmidt's exploits well. Deadly.
A Brazilian legend
Always looked forward to seeing him in the Olympics
I hope this gets the attention it deserves. Great interview!
Thanks, Pablo. I think it is absolutely insane that I've never heard of this man.
Never have I seen someone embody "joie de vivre" more than this guy.
Pablo , great reporting and investigation. Rex C was my hero while at University of Kentucky because of his shooting. But now a new myth is there Schmidt . And the NBA does not need to be the league for the best in the world
You keep raising the bar Pablo. Greetings from Greece!
To the PTFO crew...THANK YOU ALL for the work you do! All of the stories you tell and how you tell them are wonderful! P
This is absolutely brilliant, and I cannot believe this is the first time I knew about all of this. Not about the USA’s loss, but about Oscar Schmidt story, it’s absolutely remarkable, and thank you so much for tracking the story down and making this happen.
"I love the fuck you" needs to be on the PTFO poster
Damn the most entertaining episode. And there’s been some really entertaining one’s! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My fav episode so far and I have pretty much loved them all.
Amazing work Pablo and team. This interview made me smile several times. What a great story.
Simply spectacular.
This might be my favorite PTFO episode yet. Thanks for giving this legend his well deserved shine!
Remember Oscar very well. Usually it would b Oscar & 4 nondescript Brazilians vs USA & other top teams. Brazil didn't win many, but games were closer than they should have been bcuz Oscar was always the best player on the court
Ok at some point we're going to need you to use Gasbag Magic. Enough is enough. You've teased us long enough. Give us Gasbag Magic in an episode.
THANK YOU. Got blue balls for gasbag magic
This episode was solid gold.
Great show Pablo & thx for finding out,,bcus now I've found out that Oscar Schmidt is Great !! & he does have an Amazing Laugh that makes me wanna laugh lolol.
Need to know where Pablo got that jacket. It’s fire.
ÍDOLO DO BRASIL 🇧🇷
I need Pablo to come to Canada and Find Out that Anthony Calvillo and Damon Allen are near the top all-time in pro football pass yards! Let's go CFL!
This is so damn interesting. Thanks Pablo for another great ep!
It's a bit of a coincidence... On last night's show, Shannon Sharpe was telling Gilbert Arenas and listeners to look up Oscar. Good work Pablo
Hey man... In what video did Shannon spoke about him? I’m trying to find but I can’t.
Well that was better than I expected
I love Pablo’s sports journalism especially now. It’s better now than he was at ESPN. Pablo Unleashed!
This show never disappoints.
I remember watching Oscar as a kid in the Seoul Olympics and being gobsmacked at how amazing he played.
This was absolutely amazing . This is show is criminally underrated. This deserves more than 34k views
So good I watched it twice thx Pablo!!
Pablo you young punk…How could you not know Oscar. Ask your grandfather Tony….
I say this too often…..but THIS was my favorite PTFI video episode! Will never forget watching that Pan American game live in my room and being stunned at the performance he was delivering.
This was awesome!!
What a great episode!
That man’s laugh is literally a 50 50 split combination of Stugotz and LeBatard.
Carlos Alberto from Praça é Nossa.
oscar inspired by larry david i see. same laugh too.
Oscar você é amado e vc esta no coração de todo brasileiro, Amamos você
this is a beutiful piece of work you did here. really great thing you did for oscar.
Don't show jokic this podcast episode 😂
Great episode.
This was great
I love his laugh!!!
best episode!!!
Sr. Oscar é um atleta dedicado ao basquetebol por toda sua vida. É um ídolo e um exemplo para todos nós brasileiros.
Goddamn this was amazing.
The video description says Bron is on pace to pass Schmidt’s total points, but (as great as Bron is) I don’t think that’s going to happen.
Oscar created the Dream Team 😂😂😂😂 what a king
The ads, man.
Oscar!!!
The greatest Net ever never played for the Nets. lol
Loved this episode, but saying LeBron may be passing it at any moment doesn't make sense? He's got 40k in 21 seasons, so he'd have to play 5 more seasons with the same average points. Don't see that happening.
It is every point scored.....that includes national team and playoffs
Fuckin amazing episode
LeBron is going after Schmidt. He's not retiring until after that
OSCAR NÃO FOI O MELHOR DO BRASIL FOI UM DOS MELHORES
Very annoying interviewer with a 12-yr old personality who knows nothing about basketball. Then to bott, you have interruptions/commercials every 5 minutes.
Um grande arrogante . Que ofusca quem ele foi no esporte
