Bob Cousy

Bob Cousy, one of the greatest passers and playmakers in NBA history, was flashy before flashy was cool. "The Houdini of the Hardwood", he was the original "Human Highlight Film." He was magical before there was "Magic." Benched early in his college career because his coach didn't like his revolutionary, razzle-dazzle style, Cousy went on to help build the Boston Celtics of the 1950s and 1960s into basketball's most enduring dynasty-America's team. He was such a passionate and intense player that he would often suffer from stomach cramps and chest pains in the locker room before big games.

Bill Russell

Bill Russell was the cornerstone of the Boston Celtics' dynasty of the 1960s, an uncanny shotblocker who revolutionized NBA defensive concepts. A five-time NBA Most Valuable Player and a 12-time All-Star, the angular center amassed 21,620 career rebounds, an average of 22.5 per game, and led the league in rebounding four times. He had 51 boards in one game, 49 in two others, and a dozen consecutive seasons of 1,000 or more rebounds. His many individual accolades were well deserved, but they were only products of Russell's philosophy of team play

Wilt Chamberlain

He was basketball's unstoppable force, the most awesome offensive force the game has ever seen. Asked to name the greatest players ever to play basketball, most fans and aficionados would put Wilt Chamberlain at or near the top of the list. Dominating the game as few players in any sport ever have, Chamberlain seemed capable of scoring and rebounding at will, despite the double- and triple-teams and constant fouling tactics that opposing teams used to try to shut him down. As Oscar Robertson put it in the Philadelphia Daily News when asked whether Chamberlain was the best ever, "The books don't lie."

Billy Donovan

William John "Billy" Donovan (born May 30, 1965 in Rockville Centre, New York, United States) is a basketball coach who has taken the University of Florida men's team to 2 NCAA Final Fours in 2000 and 2006, the 2000 national championship game, and the 2006 NCAA championship with a 73-57 win over UCLA. He is one of only six men to reach the Final Four as both a player and a head coach; he's one of only three (Dean Smith and Bob Knight being the others) to play in the Final Four and win the national championship as a coach. He and Bob Knight are the only active male coaches in this club, joined by current Baylor women's coach Kim Mulkey-Robertson.

In the 2005-2006 season, Donovan's young Gator squad posted the school's best-ever win streak to start a single season, reeling off 17 straight victories and reaching #2 in the nation. However, the team failed to reach the top spot as it lost its first game of the season to Tennessee. This loss was followed by a surprising season sweep at the hands of eventual 2006 National Invitational Tournament Champion South Carolina Gamecocks. However, Florida avenged those losses by ending South Carolina's surprising SEC Tournament run in the finals and thereby winning the SEC Championship. This season ended as the most successful in the history of both Donovan and Florida basketball, as the Gators defeated UCLA 73-57 in the NCAA championship game, winning the school's first NCAA title
