Ralph Sampson
Ralph stood 7’4″ and gave everything to the Virginia Cavaliers. He got player of the year three times but couldn’t bring the title home to the school. In fact, they made it to the Final Four but lost in 1981. Still, he was the first pick for the draft once he went pro.

Pete Maravich
Once Pete left Louisiana State University and went pro, he already had the highest score in NCAA history. He averaged 44.2 points per game, so that proved he was the one-man wrecking crew the college needed. That’s probably why he got the nickname “Pistol Pete.”
