Bird would have to be #1

Laetnner I wouldnt have on the list. David Robinson would be there before him for me.

It's like the SEC in football. All time you cant compete, period. Sure the Pac-Ten and SEC have more historic programs in UCLA and UK but top to bottom the ACC is hands down the best forever. I do see your point about Alcindor it's a very subjective list, who is the rest of your top 10? BTW, the first person who posts Jordan is going to get a two page response from me.

Are you like most ACC Fans and trying to figure out a way to watch the games this week with them being on ESPNU? Outside of Duke/UNC I think all televised ACC games through the week are on ESPNU aren't they?

Maravich would have to be near the top of the list if we're talking about great college perfomers.

Maravich scored more points in college than any other player in history. In only three years playing for his father Press Maravich at LSU, Maravich scored 3,667 points "? 1,138 points in 1968, 1,148 points in 1969 and 1,381 points in 1970 while averaging 43.8, 44.2 and 44.5 points per game. In the process, "Pistol Pete" set 11 NCAA and 34 Southeastern Conference records, as well as every LSU record in points scored, scoring average, field goals attempted and made, and free throws attempted and made, and assists. In his collegiate career, the 6' 5" (1.96 m) guard averaged an incredible 44.2 points per game in 83 contests and led the NCAA in scoring three times. He also set an NCAA record by scoring more than 50 points 28 times. He was named a three-time All-American and still holds many of these records, more than 35 years later. Notably, his 3,667 points don't factor in the 741 he scored his freshman year, or the fact that they played without a three-point line.

Maravich was a three time first team All-American and was named The Sporting News' player of the year in 1970, and received the USBWA College Player of the Year and Naismith Award as well. He scored a personal record of 69 points versus Alabama during a game that year, and garnered numerous other awards and college records.
