We are back this week with my favorite greatest season before the turn of the century. This weeks installment is great because we are finally at the top 10. It wasn't very hard to determine the bottom 5 of this final 10. Without waiting, here's #10 the sport, college basketball.
It didn't take Lou Alcindor aka Kareem Abdul Jabbar long to prove his dominance. In his first varsity game, the sophomore center scored a school-record 56 points against rival USC. He went on to finish second in the nation in scoring (29.0), the best single-season average in UCLA history. Alcindor also set an NCAA record at the time in field-goal percentage (66.7). He led UCLA to a 30-0 record and the NCAA championship. Alcindor was named AP Player of the Year and the NCAA Tournament's Most Outstanding Player. This was as dominant a season as you'll find. In a win over Washington State, Alcindor scored 61 points and made 26 baskets.
