Surrounded by more than 70 of his ex-players—including George Stanich, from his first UCLA team in '48-49, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, whom he still calls Lewis Alcindor—John Wooden was honored before last Saturday's UCLA game. The Pauley Pavilion court was renamed for Wooden, 93, and his late wife, Nell. Wearing replica 1963-64 jerseys, the Bruins upset Michigan State 64-58.
