I’ve always thought that New York Knicks legend Bill Bradley had one of the more unique stories in NBA history. Yet, it doesn’t get talked about all too much.
Bradley, originally from Missouri, was not only an athletic phenom, but also an accomplished student. He received 95 scholarship offers to play in college, but eventually chose Princeton.
Bradley was one the most decorated college basketball players of his time. In 1965, he won the NCAA Final Four Most Outstanding Player award, and was named the AP College Player of the Year.
Bradley was heralded as the best player in the country.
