}} Edward Charles O'Bannon, Jr. (born August 14, 1972) is a retired American professional basketball player, known as a power forward for the UCLA Bruins men's basketball team on their 1995 NCAA championship team. He was the ninth pick in the 1995 National Basketball Association (NBA) Draft, selected by the New Jersey Nets. He spent only two seasons in the NBA, but continued his professional career for another eight years, mainly playing in Europe. O'Bannon is the lead plaintiff in ''O'Bannon v. NCAA'', an antitrust class action lawsuit against the National Collegiate Athletic Association. ==High school and college== O'Bannon averaged 24.6 points, 9.7 rebounds in his senior year at Artesia High School. He led Artesia to a 29–2 record that year, and they won the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Division II state championship. He was the most valuable player (MVP) at the Dapper Dan Classic, a high school All-Star game, and he was named a McDonald's High School All-American as well as honored by ''Basketball Times'' as its national high school player of the year. He originally planned to attend the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), but he did not sign a letter of intent with the university at the suggestion of UNLV head coach Jerry Tarkanian. However, when UNLV's men's basketball program was placed on probation due to recruiting improprieties, O'Bannon rescinded his commitment and instead attended UCLA.〔 Six days before the official start of practice at UCLA, O'Bannon tore his anterior cruciate ligament as he landed awkwardly on a dunk during a pickup game with other Bruins.〔〔 He was told he might not be able to walk properly again, but eighteen months later, after receiving a graft from a cadaver, he returned to playing basketball. In his first year, he came off the bench in 23 games and averaged fewer than four points while never starting.〔 In his second season in 1993, O'Bannon was named to the first team All-Pacific-10 (Pac-10) Conference team. In his junior year, he was named the team's MVP〔Finney 2010, p.110〕 and was again first team All-Pac-10.〔 In his senior year in 1994–95, O'Bannon was the key to UCLA's 1995 NCAA Basketball Championship, scoring 30 points and taking 17 rebounds and was named the NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player. For the season, he averaged 20.4 points (.533 field-goal percentage, .433 3-point percentage) and 8.3 rebounds, earning him the John R. Wooden Award, USBWA College Player of the Year (now Oscar Robertson Trophy), and the CBS/Chevrolet Player of the Year. He was a consensus first team All-American, Pac-10 co-Player of the Year along with Damon Stoudamire,〔Finney 2010, p.102〕 first team All-Pac-10 for the third consecutive year,〔 and UCLA's co-MVP along with Tyus Edney.〔 His number 31 was retired by UCLA in 1996. He was also inducted into UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame in 2005,〔 and the Pac-12 Basketball Hall of Honor in 2012.〔(2011-12 Hall of Honor Class Announced ), Pacific 12 Conference, February 7, 2012〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ed O'Bannon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
