The University of Pittsburgh men's basketball team has been in existence for 107 years, so picking the five finest players in the program's history is not an easy process. There have been many great players over the years, and because most of them came before modern statistics were kept, it is difficult to judge how they would have ranked had they played together. However, after much debate, we have decided to pick our five best players instead of our all-time team. The following people have been selected: David "Duke" Cunningham, Ralph Millan, James "Quickie" Parker, Darnell Hillman, and Chad Gallagher. Cunningham was a four-year player at Pitt who remained in school for his final year when he could have left for a better career opportunity. He played only one season before being drafted #3 by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1986 MLB draft. He ended up making $1.6 million as a rookie, which at the time was considered huge money for a second baseman. He went on to become one of the biggest stars in NFL history, earning more than $60 million during his career with the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders.
