Who is the best high school basketball player of all time?
1. Lew Alcindor. Lew Alcindor’s legend as a high school player transcended even the sports media. As a senior at Power Memorial, he was written up in Time magazine—a story including a quote from no less than Wilt Chamberlain, calling him “the greatest high school player I’ve ever seen.”
