Syracuse basketball has a long storied history of success. Sure, you can blame coach Jim Boeheim and his staff for the program’s achievements during the last four decades, but some credit must also be given to the players.
The program has been led time and time again by incredible athletes who put it all on the line when they suited up for Syracuse University. For the sake of this series, we’ll call these players “legends” as they will be remembered far past their playing days.
The word legend (in regards to an individual) according to Merriam-Webster.com, is “a person or thing that inspires legends“.
