After being the kingpin of his dominant UCLA teams - a three-time NCAA Tournament MVP in leading the Bruins to three straight national titles - Lew Alcindor continued to star upon his arrival in NBA, averaging close to 29 points a game and winning NBA Rookie of the Year honors. Those stats/laurels and others are included in the write-up on the back of this alluring card, issued during Lew's second pro campaign. One of the kingpins of Topps' 1970-71 hoops effort is card #75, with this example exhibiting a scratch and scuff-free surface, with however some apparent ink transfer in the yellow background above Alcindor's head to note. Light wear to the bottom right corner and a light touch to the others has us rendering an EX+ verdict, with some possibly rating it a notch higher. An attractive specimen for sure, with this Lew ready to contribute admirably to your Kareem/basketball card shrine.
