Lew is the Largest Legend

Lew Alcindor aka Kareem Abdul-Jabbar played three seasons for the UCLA Bruins from 1966–69 under coach John Wooden. During his freshman year when Lew wasn’t allowed to play he and his teammates would beat the National Champions on a daily basis in a practice.  Alcindor went 88-2 over his three seasons with the Bruins and was the most dominating force ever seen.

During his college career, Alcindor was twice named Player of the Year (1967, 1969), was a three-time First Team All-American (1967–69), played on three NCAA basketball champion teams (1967, 1968, 1969), was honored as the Most Outstanding Player in the NCAA Tournament (1967, 1968, 1969), and became the first-ever Naismith College Player of the Year in 1969.

Lew Alcindor changed the game and when he became a pro the NCAA decided to not allow dunking. When the NCAA decides to change rules based on one man you know he must be the greatest of all-time.

Lew Alcindor is the #1 college basketball player of all-time.
