Basketball greatness is about winning more than scoring;  he couldn't touch either as a winner-- and they weren't shabby scorers themselves--  Walton still holds the record for points in an NCAA CG.
All the UCLA greats had a great surrounding cast which only highlighted their skills.  Pistol Pete was a one man show and without a doubt the best of all time.  He was so far ahead of the times that it was just funny.  If he is not #1 then this list is totally worthless.

That being said, they don't go two seasons as NC and with only one loss without Bill Russell.  He was a monster.  Changed the way the game was played.

No way should Shaq make this list.   Corliss was a better college player then Shaq.  Big "O" always put it to Shaq.   NBA top 25 yes, but no way is he a college top 25.

Maybe I am not remembering correctly or I am blinded by my Oliver Miller love, but didn't Big O always have big games against Shaq at Arkansas and the first couple of years Big O played for the Suns.  Look I am not saying that Big O is better then Shaq.  He was the only player that Shaq ever played that he could not push around.   But there is a lot of college players I would put ahead of Shaq.

Pistol Pete should be #1, if its based only on the player in college and not the team he played for.

Did anyone see who ESPN had as the greatest football player?  I never saw their top choice.  I think Herschel Walker was one of the last i saw and he was #2 or 3 I think.  Now I don't remember!

Top 5 basketball:  I go with Maravich Walton, Alcindor, Hayes and David Thompson.  I put Laettner in the top 25 for all those great shots he made at Duke and thier winning percentage.
Also UCLA had sam gilbert, the money man who basically paid Alcindor, Walton, etc., all those years and Wooden was the recipient.  No NCAA police could ever prove it but it's common knowledge around LA that it happened.

Wilt played a Kansas.
No cause, ever, in the history of all mankind, has produced more cold-blooded tyrants, more slaughtered innocents, and more orphans than socialism with power. It surpassed, exponentially, all other systems of production in turning out the dead. The bodies are all around us. And here is the problem: No one talks about them. No one honors them. No one does penance for them. No one has committed suicide for having been an apologist for those who did this to them. No one pays for them. No one is hunted down to account for them. It is exactly what Solzhenitsyn foresaw in The Gulag Archipelago: "No, no one would have to answer. No one would be looked into." Until that happens, there is no "after socialism."

If Pistol Pete isn't #1 then the whole list is a joke anyway.
Avg 44.5 ppg before the 3 pt line. He was the greatest hands down.

It's amazing how hard it is to find old box scores, but I seem to remember Big O consistently keeping Shaq below his season averages when we played.  Shaq just couldn't push him around and Miller had those long arms.

True.

I heard a stat that said Oliver held Shaq to his lowest ppg output in college AND the NBA.  O seemed to have his number.

IMO Alcindor was the goat.  Maravich is 2, and yeah, lack of championships IS a factor.  3 is Magic, he changed the game.  Bill Russell is 4, dominant in his time, but undersized for ALL time.  5 Ewing, feared in college.


Olajuwon was freakishly gifted enough to make the top 3, but I seem to remember when he began he was incredibly foul prone.  In other words he didn't know the game, he had to learn it.  To his credit he learned it well. 

If you don't know, now you know.
