Alex Hannum Autographed / Signed 3x5 Card. When James Naismith invented basketball in 1891, Bill Bradley was the type of player he envisioned. Bradley possessed intangibles that don’t always appear in stat sheets. Those intangibles didn’t go unnoticed by the Honors Committee, which elected him into the Hall of Fame in 1982. A thinking man’s player, Bradley had the scholarly ability to watch a play develop two or three passes ahead of time. Bradley’s “scientific” approach to basketball enabled him to enjoy two distinct careers as a collegian and a professional. As a college superstar, Bradley was the focal point of Princeton’s offense; as a 10-year pro with the New York Knicks, he was an integral cog on a team that featured several All-Stars. After scoring a dazzling 3,068 points at Crystal City (MO) High School, Bradley spurned 70 nationwide scholarships, including one by Kentucky’s Adolph Rupp, and paid his own way to Princeton University. The Ivy League has never seen a more dominating player. At Princeton, Bradley was a three-time All-America and the 1965 Player of the Year.
