SOME IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT MIKAN:

The marquee above Madison Square Garden that flashed "George Mikan vs. Knicks" aptly told the story of basketball's Original Superstar. The first dominant big man in professional basketball, George Mikan played with a competitive fire matched by few. Playing under Hall of Fame coach Ray Meyer at DePaul University, the 6-foot-10-inch Mikan along with fellow Hall of Famer Bob Kurland, swatted away so many shots that in 1944 the NCAA introduced a rule that prohibited goaltending. Unaffected by the rule change, Mikan led DePaul to the 1945 NIT title. Mikan enjoyed an extraordinary professional career, most notably winning six championships in three different leagues with the Minneapolis Lakers. A dominant offensive force, Mikan led three different leagues in scoring and set the standard for all future centers. Mikan was one of the first big men to run the floor and finish with force. Mikan was so dominant that he prompted several significant rule changes in the NBA, including the introduction of the goaltending rule, the widening of the foul lane—known as the "Mikan Rule"—and the creation of the shot clock

He was voted the Greatest Player in the first half of the 20th Century by the Associated Press.
