Whether it is in the combination of youth sports and education, or the commercial degree and professional level of professional sports leagues, the United States is a country that is very far ahead in the world, in fact, the two points mentioned earlier are also complementary and mutually promotive.
When it comes to sports development in the field of American universities, the National College Athletic Association, referred to as the NCAA, is an organization that cannot be bypassed. According to statistics, at least more than 480,000 college students studying in the United States every year participate in various American college sports leagues organized by the NCAA, and the most familiar nature of the majority of the NBA is the NCAA's annual first-class men's basketball tournament.
With the passage of time, I believe that more and more Asian players will choose to train in the NCAA as a springboard to challenge the NBA stage, in fact, there are many players in the mainland who have NCAA history, but most of them do not have the ability to study at the top doors, and after graduation, they should study basketball in the United States and return to China to develop.
It can be said that there are not a few American universities with a glorious basketball team history, and their names and varsity team figures are also familiar to domestic basketball fans. In this article, the author will take stock of the five famous schools that have won the most championships in the NCAA Basketball Championship for reference.
5. Indiana University

Indiana University is a veteran American sports school, with a record of winning championships in football, basketball, swimming, cross country, athletics, wrestling, tennis and other competitions, and is one of the five largest american universities with the most championships in basketball, and won all of them in the 1970s. However, Indiana University is also a lost veteran university, and has not won the championship since Bird left the team in the eighties.
In the active NBA league, only 6 players are from Indiana University, which is not a prominent number. Counting the total number of NBA people in team history, it is also the least of the top five on the list. In the future, Indiana is most likely to be replaced by the University of Connecticut in the top five positions in history, and The University of Kann ranks sixth with four championship wins, behind Indiana and Duke. However, After the new century, The University of Kang has won the championship four times, which is the most powerful famous door in recent years, and Indiana University is the opposite.

Duke University is the new upstart in the North American basketball world, the team named after the Blue Devils is domineering, since the 1990s, all the championships have been won since then, and the growth of Jordan's successor & super popular Grant Hill, which is a sign that Duke University has entered its peak in basketball.
Behind Duke University's rapid rise and promotion to the top of history in a short period of time, Mike Shashevsky, nicknamed "Coach Old K", is indispensable. Since taking over in the 1980s, he has in a short period of time established Duke University a winning culture that puts team first and players excel.
Incidentally, in addition to the high level of competition, the Duke Blue Devils also attach great importance to the academic performance of the team's players. After Owen said "The Horizon Theory", they officially came out and joked that Duke had not taught Owen this way.
After coaching Duke, he won a total of 12 NCAA Coach of the Year, the first man in history. At the national team level, he is also known for leading the American men's basketball team, which has experienced a brief loss, to regain its dominance over world basketball after the middle of the first decade of the new century.

In NBA history, the number of North Carolina players is not exaggerated, but their average pick is quite high, with a total of four appearances in the annual draft of two North Carolina players in the top five picks. Incidentally, North Carolina and Duke are only eight miles apart, and the two schools are basketball rivals, and there has been fierce competition for talent and performance in the past two or three decades.
The University of North Carolina, or North Carolina for short, is one of the american universities that have had the greatest impact on modern professional basketball. Because of this, North Carolina is the place where The Flying Jordan really set sail, and it is also the basketball school that best allows talent shows to cash in on basketball talents and absorb team spirit and tactical tips as soon as possible. In addition to Joe, Carter, Tianzun, Worthy, McAdoo, these North Carolina talent shows are all classic stars in NBA history.

Looking back at the history of the Kentucky team, they have roughly two obvious glory periods, namely the 1940s and 50s & the late 1990s to the present, and the middle is a long silence. In the top five NCAA schools in team history, Kentucky has trained a large number of NBA players, which is enough to show that they have done a very good job in teaching according to their aptitudes in history.
Judging from the team history of the representative players, it is known that the University of Kentucky is actually a very active talent training shrine after the new century. In fact, the selection of active Kentucky University players, they currently have 27 people, the largest number of Universities in North America, many of them are the leaders of the middle and new generation, the active number is enough to beat most of the NCAA college team history NBA players. In addition, this university has done a particularly good job in the inheritance of division brotherhood, and most of the players who graduated before and after can become good friends and take care of each other in the NBA.

UCLA, or UCLA for short, is one of the top universities in the United States, and the field of sports is also a strong school for many years, especially basketball. Although a long time has passed since its last championship year, 1995, UCLA, which has not won a championship in 27 years, is still the only traditional basketball school in the history of the NCAA League that has double-digit numbers in the number of championships and has a single grade.
When it comes to UCLA's glorious basketball history, if only one person can be selected as a representative, it is undoubtedly enough to choose legendary coach John Wooden, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his contribution to the team alone far exceeds the total of others. During the 27 seasons from 1948 to 1975, John Wooden led the team to 10 NCAA championships, including the NCAA's seven-game winning streak with an unprecedented and unprecedented NCAA title & the longest 88 consecutive wins in history, with an individual coaching win rate of 80.4%. Although he has never been in the NBA league to coach, John Wooden's tactical ideas and basketball concepts have long penetrated the entire modern basketball industry.
