Except when you put it into perspective:

- UCLA won the championship in '64 and '65 (before Cap)
- UCLA won the championship the season right after Cap went to the league (they had a 28-2 record)
- UCLA won the championship the season after that (29-1 record)
- UCLA won the championship the season after that (30-0 record; led by Bill Walton)
- UCLA won the championship the season after that (30-0 record; led by Bill Walton)
- UCLA won the championship two years after that (28-3 record).

In the four years after Cap left, UCLA had a 117-3 record. They won 10 championships over 12 years; Wooden had a record of 281-15 over the decade.

They won in the years prior to Cap arriving at UCLA, and they dominated when he left.

Kareem was one of the greatest NCAA players, but that UCLA dynasty was loaded and dominated both 60s and 70s. John Wooden is the greatest NCAA coach of all time.

Those championships were not carried by one individual. It was both loaded teams and excellent coaching.

After Kareem went to NBA they picked up Bill Walton who was also considered one of the greatest college players. Those UCLA teams were above the rest for a while.

Multiple titles in High School, College, and the NBA

Hall of Fame accolades without Oscar Robertson or Magic Johnson on his team
