Christian Braun joins Billy Thompson, Bill Russell, Magic Johnson and Henry Bibby as NCAA to NBA winners

By winning the NBA title with Denver Last Night, Braun joins Thompson, Russell, Johnson and Bibby as the only players to have gone from a NCAA title one year to an NBA title the next year. That's got to be a fun year!

I believe Milt won one with the Lakers in 87-88 unless he was cut before that or something.

BT won the title in the '86-87 NBA year, Milt showed up on the Lakers for the '87-'88 year. so no for milt on going from ncaa to nba title, but yes he did get one with the lakers i believe
