B.O.A.T. Team: Virginia Basketball

In Part II of our offseason B.O.A.T. series, we're taking a look at basketball. The Best Of All Time team for basketball is a bit simpler than football, simply because there are less players. Also, as this isn't simply an All-Star team, but a best "Team", basketball has the advantage of being a more individual sport than football.

Finally, in Virginia's case, basketball is easier because one of the positions is a slam-dunk (Did you see what I did there?). Ralph Sampson is one of the best college basketball players of all time, and a no-brainer for the center on our B.O.A.T.
