Lucius Oliver Allen, Jr. (born September 26, 1947) is an American former professional basketball player. Prior to his National Basketball Association (NBA) career, he became an All-American as part of two of legendary coach John Wooden's UCLA NCAA Championship teams, in 1967 and 1968. The 1968 team, featuring three consensus All-Americans in Allen, Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) and Mike Warren, is considered by many to be the greatest team in men's college basketball history. After being suspended for his senior year at UCLA for receiving a second citation for possessing a small quantity marijuana, Allen was drafted by the Seattle SuperSonics in the 1st round (3rd pick) of the 1969 NBA draft and retired in 1979. As a member of the 1971 Milwaukee Bucks team, which also featured UCLA teammate Alcindor, Allen earned an NBA championship ring. He also played with Abdul-Jabbar for two seasons, from 1975–77, in Los Angeles, but not winning a championship in either of those years. Allen was traded the following season to cross-town, Missouri-based Kansas City Kings, winning the division championship in 1979, and retired from basketball after that season.
Allen was born on February 13, 1816 in Hamburg, New York. He married four times. First, to Mary Spoor on May 27, 1837. They would have a son before her death on November 15, 1838. Second, to Sarah Ann Barnes on July 10, 1842. They would have two children before her death in 1847. Allen married Sarah Ann's sister in August of 1848. They would have five children before her death on March 11, 1878. Finally, he married Hephsibah A. Babcock on September 4, 1890. Allen died on January 12, 1895 in Elkhorn, Wisconsin and was buried there.
Career
Allen was a member of the Assembly in 1864. Other positions he held include being a member of the county board of Walworth County, Wisconsin in 1877.
Following his junior year, Lucius Allen entered the 1969 NBA draft and was selected 3rd overall by the Seattle SuperSonics. As a member of the 1971 Milwaukee Bucks team, which also featured Alcindor, Allen earned an NBA championship ring. They would both return to the NBA Finals in 1974 before losing to the Boston Celtics in 7 games.

19. Lucius Allen, Bob Ryan and the 74 NBA Finals
The 1974 NBA Finals was a classic 7-game affair between the Celtics and the Bucks in which the road team won 5 games, including the final 4 contests. The Bucks won a thrilling double overtime game 6, in Boston to bring it back to Milwaukee. All the momentum was with the Bucks.
