Sam Bowie is a former American basketball player. Projected as a solid first rounder in the 1984 NBA Draft, Bowie was chosen by the Portland Trail Blazers as the second selection, ahead of Basketball Hall of Famer Michael Jordan.As a freshman during the 1979–80 season at the University of Kentucky, Bowie averaged twelve points and eight rebounds per game.
However, his college career was interrupted with severe injuries to his shinbone, and he did not play college basketball for the next two seasons.
He returned in time for the 1983–84 season, where he averaged ten-and-a-half points and nine rebounds per game while being named to the second-team All-American squad. During his senior season, his heroics in a game against rival Louisville earned him a spot on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
