I wonder how much basketball history today's players know.

Do they know that Bill Russell's San Fransisco Dons won back-to-back national titles, and that one of those years, in the last two games, he had FIFTY rebounds? Do they know just how good and how dominant Lew Alcindor was? Do they know that THE tournament was once the NIT, not the NCAA? Do they realize just how good some of the teams were in the days before players began leaving early for the NBA? I wonder.
