Ralph Sampson was one of the greatest college basketball players in the history of the game. Sampson was a double-double machine from the moment he stepped on campus at UVA. He averaged 16.9 points and 11.4 rebounds per game during his four-year career in Charlottesville.

He was a three-time College Player of the Year award winner at Virginia. The only other person to do that was UCLA’s Bill Walton. Sampson could have left school after his junior year but didn’t want to risk playing for the Clippers, who had a 50-50 shot at the #1 pick, so he returned to school for his senior year.
