My point was I read a lot more than this forum. And I’m annoyed at all these greatest of all time lists that only go back 30 years! Purdue actually did win an NCAA championship. Unfortunately it was before anybody cared and before the internet. Purdue had some awesome teams before Rose and Keady! While one award may not have existed, surely if you look hard enough, you can find other awards/recognition were provided by some entity! Wooden was an awesome basketball player for Purdue. But most people only think of him as the UCLA coach. And Mount was awesome for more than one year as was Jerry Lucas. Oscar Robertson was awesome in college but most people only remember him for his NBA accomplishments. Guys like Mike, Pettit, and Cousy were pretty good too. I just believe the legends of basketball are many times forgotten when today’s fans make those memes! It’s kind of like Bart Starr. His stats don’t compare to any modern day player, but his championships do. They say he only won 2 Super Bowls. But he won a bunch of NFL championships before that. It’s as if they don’t count because they didn’t have the words Super Bowl attached.
My point is simply people today don’t do a lot of research on the past if it was before 1980.
