Exhibit at UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame on UCLA players in the NBA
The men's college basketball program of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) was founded in 1920 and is known competitively as the UCLA Bruins. The Bruins have won 11 NCAA Division I championships, including 10 under coach John Wooden, which gives them the most of any school.[1] Many former players advanced to play professionally in the National Basketball Association (NBA).[2][3][4][5] During the 2010–2011 NBA season, UCLA had 14 active players in the NBA, more than any other program.[1] As of the 2023–24 season[update], 104 former UCLA players have played in the NBA.[needs update][a]
