Top 10 NCAA Basketball Players of All Time

The Top Ten
1 Lew Alcindor

Only 2 losses in 4 years.
3 NCAA finals championships out of 3 opportunities, since Freshmen could not play on the varsity back then.
As a Freshman, beat the UCLA varsity when they were the defending NCAA champs.

He is the best in the NBA he is 5th best

2 Pete Maravich Peter Press Maravich, known by his nickname Pistol Pete, was an American professional basketball player.

He took on the whole opposing team by himself! Watch when he score 64 points against the great Kentucky team but lost to Dan Issel team leading 51 points. He was truly amazing.
If anyone disagrees go talk to Hall Of Fame, Walt Frazier, and he explain how great Pete was. Walt, who was the defensive player of the year for guards, had Pete score 68 points against him and he still tells the story that he looked like he wasn't even building up a sweat to do it.

He averaged 44 points a game

Best ever no contest

The best bar none.

3 Christian Laettner

Four straight final fours and two titles.

Nobody did it better at that level

I still hate Laettner!

4 Bill Walton

Walton's career at UCLA is spectacular and usually make covers of Sports Illustrated. Among the major awards he won are, 2 NCAA Men's Tournament MVPs, 1973 amateur athlete of the year, USBWA college player of the year 3 times, Nasmith college player of the year 3 times and was All-American in 1972,73 and 74. More than that, despite leg injuries he was the total package and kept the UCLA dynasty going in the 1970s.

His 88 game sinning streak still stands.

88 game WINNING streak.

6 David Thompson

David Thompson is the best college player ever with his 44 inch vertical leap hands down that's why m.j. wanted to be like him at one point he lost one game in two years

His story had a sad ending with an important moral: don't do drugs EVER.

The greatest, hands down.
