Excerpt:

"In 1982-83, Bradley led the nation in scoring for 11 consecutive weeks. He finished with a 28.2-point average, fifth nationally, helping the Bulls to a 22-10 mark and the school's second appearance in the National Invitation Tournament.

Bradley, then a 6-foot-6, 185-pound swingman, was known for his explosive leaping ability, rim-rattling dunks and long-range shooting, in an era prior to the three-point arc.

"Sometimes, I sit back and wonder, 'What would've happened if I would've gone to Florida or Memphis State?'" said Bradley, 45, speaking of two other schools that recruited him heavily. "But I got to stay home and be part of starting something. I had a great ride and got a lot of attention. Tell you what, I'd trade in all the individual stuff for a chance to play in the NCAA Tournament. That's my biggest regret.

"It all happened a long time ago. Some days, it seems like I'm far, far away from that. So to be honored like this, to be remembered in this way, it's a tremendous honor. It makes me really proud.""
