6. Michael Jordan, UNC (1982): To many, Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time, a narrative that began his freshman season when he scored 16 points and hit the game-winning shot in the final seconds of a 63-62 victory over Georgetown in the title game. Jordan wasn't a star yet, but he was on his way, averaging 13.2 PPG in the NCAA tournament. (ESPN.com)
