TTM Triumph: Jamaal Wilkes

Today's success came on the second attempt, but a player of "Silk's" caliber was certainly worth trying twice.

Referred to as a "perfect player" by the legendary coach Wooden, Jamaal Wilkes was a winner pretty much everywhere he went.

Playing for coach Wooden at UCLA, Jamaal won two national titles, and while there was a key component in the teams record setting 88 game winning streak.

A three time All-Star during his twelve year NBA career, he would win, not only the ROY award during his first season with the Warriors, but also his first championship as well. Best known for his time with the Lakers during the Showtime era, he would win three more championships in 1980, 1982, and 1985. Jamaal is also a member of both the Basketball Hall of Fame, and the College Basketball Hall of Fame.

As always, many thanks go out to Mr. Wilkes for taking the time to sign my card.
