Lynn Shackelford finished his Bruin career as a starter on three NCAA Championship teams, helping to lead the Bruins to titles in 1967, 1968 and 1969 and being named to the 1968 Final Four All-Tournament Team. He is one of just six players in NCAA history to achieve that feat. During his time on the varsity squad, he averaged 9.7 points and 5.0 rebounds per game as UCLA compiled a three-year record of 88-2. Shackelford was also a starter on the famed 1966 UCLA freshman team with fellow UCLA Hall of Famers Lew Alcindor and Lucius Allen that beat the Bruin varsity squad, averaging 20.9 points and 9.3 rebounds per game. He was selected by San Diego in the seventh round of the 1969 NBA Draft and played one season in the ABA with the Miami Floridians before embarking on a successful broadcasting career.
