Bill Bradley
Van Breda Kolff, a college basketball coach, described Bill as “not the most physical player.” While others jumped higher and ran faster, he had discipline. Throughout his Princeton career, he kept a rigorous schedule and taught on the side, earning him several awards.
Elgin Baylor
Elgin had trouble in college, starting at the College of Idaho, where he lost the scholarship and had to re-earn his eligibility. Then, he went to Seattle University and was drafted to the Minneapolis Lakers (NBA). Baylor turned that down to stay in school!
