April 30, 200719 yr I thought they banned dunking on Wilt??? It was Lew Well that helped clear that up?:lol:
April 30, 200719 yr http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slam_dunk Dunking was banned in the NCAA from 1967 to 1976. Many have attributed this to the dominance of the then-college phenomenon Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (then called Lew Alcindor) upon his entry into the NCAA. Subsequently, the no-dunking rule is sometimes referred to as the "Lew Alcindor Rule". However the greater likelihood is that the dunk was banned because of the likes of Bob Ferguson, who popularized the dunk when he was drafted by the New York Knicks in 1968.[2]
April 30, 200719 yr Based on college career alone, I would go with: 1.) Lew Alcindor 2.) Pete Maravich The two most dominating college players at their positions. If I was basing my pick on potential, I would go with Magic Johnson. He was young, talented and could play more than one position.
April 30, 200719 yr Guard--Oscar Robertson. Most dominating guard ever. AVERAGED a triple double. Big Man- Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul Jabaar). Most dominating big man of his time. Who was the really good big man for I think Houston or N.C State in Alcindor's day? He dominated Alcindor when they met in the NCAA tourney.
April 30, 200719 yr Guard--Who was the really good big man for I think Houston or N.C State in Alcindor's day? He dominated Alcindor when they met in the NCAA tourney. Was it Hayes? I am drawing a blank.
April 30, 200719 yr Kareem, Wilt, or Shaq.. Don't matter which but you have to have the man in the middle.. Gotta have a point guard too but there is/was more good guards than big guys....

April 30, 200719 yr I think I would go with either Lou Alcindor or Bill Walton. Both were very dominating. After that I would go with either Magic Johnson or Larry Bird. Bird had nothing around him and went undefeated until the championship game. And if Magic stayed longer he would have won another championship IMO.
April 30, 200719 yr A few more names to throw out. Larry Bird Magic Johnson David Thompson But Maravich would have to be my #1 Sorry LMB must of been thinking when you were typing...lol
April 30, 200719 yr I thought they banned dunking on Wilt??? I'm not sure many people could dunk on Wilt.
April 30, 200719 yr Dan Issel -University of Kentucky He averaged over 30 points a game his senior year. He also had a very good pro career. I would definitly put him up there with Maravich, Thompson, Larry Bird, and Mashburn as some of the best players who did not win a championship.
April 30, 200719 yr How about a lineup?: C - Lew Alcindor F - Larry Bird F - Oscar Robertson G - Pete Maravich G - Magic Johnson 6th - Bill Russell 7th - Bill Walton 8th - David Thompson 9th - Christian Laettner (sorry) 10th - Jerry Lucas Coach - John Wooden; Assistant Coach - Adolph Rupp Beat that team!!!
