PRINCETON, N.J. – Former Princeton University men's basketball star Bill Bradley was recently named as one of the 25 greatest NCAA men's basketball players by the sports website NewArena.
A member of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, Bradley is Princeton's all-time leading scorer with 2,503 points. He accomplished this in three seasons without a three-point shot and holds the 11 highest single-game scoring totals in program history. Bradley was also the 1965 Sullivan Award winner as the nation's most outstanding athlete, the 1965 United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) College Player of the Year, the 1965 Associated Press (AP) College Player of the Year and a consensus All-America first team selection in 1965 and 1964.
Bradley, who helped the Tigers reach the Final Four in 1965 where he was named MVP, averaged 30.2 points per game and 12.1 rebounds per game. He appeared in nine NCAA Tournament games and his 303 points are tied for eighth all-time while his 33.7 points per game average is ranked second.
Along with winning a gold medal at the 1964 Olympics, Bradley also had ten-year career in the NBA with the New York Knicks and won two championships.
Following his basketball career, Bradley, who was an Air Force Reservist from 1967 to 1978, was a three-term U.S. Senator from New Jersey.
