Lo Sapevi?
Cunningham is one of the only individuals in NBA history to win a championship with the same franchise as both a player (1967) and a head coach (1983).
His nickname 'The Kangaroo Kid' was earned through leaping ability that was genuinely unusual in the 1960s — before vertical jump training was a standard part of athletic development.
He played in the ABA with the Carolina Cougars after leaving the 76ers, winning the league MVP and demonstrating that his dominance extended beyond the NBA.
As coach of the 76ers, Cunningham took the organization from rebuild to champion, a leadership arc that reflects the depth of his basketball understanding across roles.
