Talk about a man who's effect on the game of basketball has lived for decades. This guy beat John Wooden, the Wizard of Westwood, EIGHT times in a row (the last eight times the two legends faced off). Retired at age 44 due to stress, but continued to teach the game of basketball for 48 years more.

God bless..
