From ESPN: 

 "...in October 1974, Bellamy had played his final game for the New Orleans Jazz and was placed on waivers. No team picked him up, and his 13-year career was over.

What had he accomplished?

When he retired from the NBA, he was sixth all-time in points, third in rebounds and third in field goal percentage. Since he averaged 20 points and 14 rebounds a game and shot 52 percent for his career."

Yeah, I'd say that qualifies as a "pretty good" career. He certainly deserves to be mentioned with the IU all-time greats. Happy to say I had the privilege to see him play, although back then, I heard more games on the radio than I saw on tv.

Should be Cheaney, Isiah, Bellamy (for sure) and Schlundt, Alford or May.

I forgot about Bellamy thanks.

Not the best 5 but a pretty darn good five. Non IU fans on twitter wouldn’t recognize Bellamy or McGinnis. Recency Bias will be heavy at play here.

Imagine Alford, Isiah, and Olapido in a 3 guard set in college. That would be bonkers.

Do people even know what starting 5 means? Calbert at the 4 as a slight 6'6", 6'7" forward Scott May as the best center (big) EVER at Indiana?

I like this very much but what about Bellamy, Schlundt, Big Mac, Slick, Splendid Splinter, Van Arsdales, Downing, and others Im leaving off? Just too damn many great b-ball players have played at Indiana.

Pretty good player here, we seem to forget about often:

A.J. Guyton chose to play basketball for the Indiana University Hoosiers under coach Bob Knight from 1996 to 2000. He was a four-year starter and appeared in every game while at Indiana. When he left, Guyton was Indiana's all-time leader in three-point baskets (283) and fourth in all-time scoring (2,100).^[1] He also ranked eighth in all-time Indiana assists (403) and tenth in steals (128).

Love him and he was excellent but didn’t win enough to get the consideration he deserves.

Right on the money, I was going to include, "but his teams weren't historically great"; they made the tourney, but no sweet 16's or better.

Deep runs is typically what it takes (along with stats) to be an uber-all-time-great

Mike Woodson?

Yes,with fleeks 4.
Henderson
McGinnis
Calbert

Thomas

very interesting Ted Talk. Kinda puts into words what a lot of us knew. 

Interesting thing to me is that it looks like Archie is trying to assemble a team of the 3 red colored ones for the most part.

I know,this is impossible,Bellamy, May, Benson, Buckner, Allford, Olidipo and many more.I'd still put that 5 up against any combo we can come up with.

That was a thought provoking, interesting presentation

another interesting ted Talk for the people that fear we lack enough star power to be successful. 

Granted the warriors kinda defy this claim about all stars

Here's a tweet we don't see everyday.

Five-star forward D.J. Jeffries is decommitting from Kentucky and will reopen his recruitment.

 

Djjeffries™‏ @lildjj0

After careful consideration prayer and countless hours of consulting with my family I decided to reopen recruitment it was a hard decision but I am confident that taking my time to choose the right school for me to better myself educationally and athletically is the right choice
