As a collegian, Lucas led the Ohio State Buckeyes to the 1960 college national championship and three straight NCAA finals. He remains today the only three-time Big Ten Player Of The Year, and was also twice named NCAA Player Of The Year.
As a pro, Lucas was named All-NBA First Team three times, a NBA All-Star seven times, was 1964 NBA Rookie Of The Year, and was named Most Valuable Player of the 1965 NBA All-Star Game among other honors and awards. He was inducted to the Springfield Basketball Hall Of Fame in 1980.
After his basketball career ended in the mid-1970s, Lucas took to becoming a teacher and writer in the area of image-based memory education. His book written with Harry Lorayne, The Memory Book, was a national best-seller. Lucas has also conducted seminars demonstrating memory techniques, and has written 30 books and educational products and games for children. He is known today as Doctor Memory.
"Everyone goes back to Florence Nightingale and her lamp. That's not where nursing started."
"You can't forget it because it's tangible and you can see it,"
"I don't believe that had any impact at all. Tiger was famously 'anti' the technology, media and telecom sectors -- and the [tech] sector was marked down today, while the traditional sectors were marked up."

"I'm in favor of a rifle range, ... But it should be someplace where it doesn't impact any neighbors. This area, which is prone to growth, this thing might encroach on that."
"With all freshman and sophomores [along with eighth-grader Stacey Eden], they were outstanding. They ran a really good race and held their own for a very good first time. Max Eden ran a personal best time in the relay, along with Zaremba. Max was also strong in the 400 from the outside lane, and I think he'll certainly make some noise in our region this year."
Wilt Chamberlain vs. Jerry Lucas | True Highlights (Offense, Defense, Missed Shots, etc)
Despite the "Laker lore" that exists today, the Lakers were known as a team that could not win the big game. The year is 1972, and the Lakers have yet to win an NBA championship since their move to Los Angeles. Enter Wilt Chamberlain.
This video will cover the 5th game of the 1972 NBA Finals, focusing on the match-up between two hall of fame centers: Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry Lucas. The video will show each players highlights (all their shot attempts, defensive plays, etc.). The video is meant to give the viewer a proper look at the nuance of each players respective games. It doesn't hurt that this is also one of the greatest games ever played by an NBA player.

Jerry Lucas: From the Playbook to the Good Book
He may not have made the millions current NBA basketball players pull-in in fact, Jerry Lucas only made just $30,000 in his first year in the league.
However, it was still pro ball and Lucas walked away from it with three years left on a contract with the New York Knicks, not because of an injury but because of a higher power.
The decision didn't exactly sit well with his teammates.
"They thought I was crazy, giving up an NBA career," said Lucas, who was in Maumee speaking at St. Paul's Lutheran Church. "But I knew what I was supposed to do with my life. God called me to a ministry and I was going to be obedient to that so, I'm thankful I did."
Lucas, who will turn 72 this week, has never looked back.
"I never missed basketball. Not even one iota of a second."

Lucas, who will turn 72 this week, has never looked back.
"I never missed basketball. Not even one iota of a second."
He says he's turned down millions of dollars in broadcasting opportunities to minister to 'about 30' churches a year.
The 6-foot-8-inch, former two-time Mr. Basketball in the Buckeye State was named one of the '50 greatest' NBA players of all-time and won a national championship at Ohio State in 1960.
He says he doesn't watch much television and hasn't seen much of this year's squad but does recall his three Final Four appearances.
"We won one of them and lost two of them," said Lucas. "Both years we lost we were a better team but on that particular night we weren't. So, you have to be at your best at the right time and hopefully the Buckeyes will be."
Lucas, who is also known as Dr. Memory for his uncanny recall ability, will step away from public speaking for '6 months to a year' to launch an educational website for kids called, Dr. M's universe.
