Larry Johnson began his college career at Odessa College, a small two-year school in Texas. He then transferred to UNLV, joining future NBA players Stacey Augmon and Greg Anthony, to form what is considered one of the best college basketball teams of all-time. But Johnson and his teammates didn’t just beat their opponents — they destroyed them. And as you would expect, opposing fans didn’t take too kind to Johnson’s chest-thumping and flamboyant attitude. Critics got their revenge in the 1991 NCAA tournament when Duke knocked off UNLV in the Final Four, ending their shot at a perfect season and back-to-back championships.
