Read a Basketball Hall of Fame Article on USF's Championship Years

March 27, 2007

The city of San Francisco has seen three spectacular sports debuts by eventual Hall of Fame athletes in three different sports. Most recently, in 1980, on a fall day at Candlestick Park, Joe Montana brought the 49ers back from a 35-7 deficit against the New Orleans Saints. In 1959, on a July afternoon at Seals Stadium, Willie McCovey of the Giants went 4 for 4 against Robin Roberts of the Philadelphia Phillies. Not to be forgotten, over fifty years ago at Kezar Pavilion, on an early December night in 1953, Bill Russell ushered in a remarkable era in basketball history by scoring 23 points and blocking 13 shots to lead the unranked USF Dons to victory over the tenth-ranked California Bears.
