Clifford Luyk (1958-1978)
|
|
|
Teams: University of Florida (USA), Real Madrid (ESP)
Summary: Not only was he a dominant big man with an unstoppable hook shot, but Clifford Luyk was also one of the winningest players on the continent. From 1963 to 1978, Luyk helped Madrid to 14 Spanish League championships, 10 Spanish Cup crowns and six Euroleague titles – even though he did not take part in the 1978 final at age 37. Luyk was athletic, talented and possessed great low-post skills, highlighted by his trademark, old-school hook shot. He turned Real Madrid into the biggest European club of the 1960s. As a coach, he won the 1992 Saporta Cup and reached the 1993 Euroleague Final Four with Real Madrid. |
