On this blog, I've devoted a lot of words and calculations to the consideration of which college programs are the "best" in NCAA history. I haven't included NBA products as part of those discussions, as I don't consider it relevant. Great teams can win without singular stars. UK has had some truly amazing players, especially under Cal, but they haven't relied on them.
So, let's look at the NBA's top 50 scoring list. As I've mentioned, UK isn't represented on the list. Who is?
