'''Jamaal Wilkes''' (born '''Jackson Keith Wilkes''' on May 2, 1953 in [[Berkeley, California]]) is a retired [[United States|American]] [[basketball]] player who played the [[small forward]] position and won four [[National Basketball Association|NBA]] championships with the [[Los Angeles Lakers]] and [[Golden State Warriors]]. Wilkes was also a key player in the run of [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]] championships accumulated during the [[John Wooden]] era of [[UCLA Bruins|UCLA basketball]]. Upon entering the NBA [[1974 NBA Draft|in 1974]], Wilkes converted to [[Islam]] and legally changed his name to Jamaal Abdul-Lateef, but retained his surname throughout his NBA career. |
|||
For more information on WikiProjects, please see [[Wikipedia:WikiProject]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject/Best practices]]. |
|||
==Playing career== |
|||
One of the smoothest, steadiest and most productive forwards to ever play in the NBA (he possessed a deadly accurate jump shot from the corner that [[Hall of Fame]] Laker announcer [[Chick Hearn]] dubbed the "20 foot layup") Jamaal "Smooth as Silk" Wilkes won championships at the scholastic, collegiate and professional levels. |
|||
==Scope== |
|||
Wilkes was an All-America Prep player at Santa Barbara High School (his teammate [[Don Ford]] also played in the NBA with the Lakers) in [[Santa Barbara, California]]. As a two-time All-America at UCLA, Wilkes teamed with [[Bill Walton]] to bring UCLA the 1972 and 1973 NCAA titles, and a third place finish in 1974. As a Bruin, Wilkes was part of UCLA teams that won the unbeatable record of 88 consecutive games. In three years at UCLA, Wilkes averaged 15.0 ppg and 7.4 rpg and shot 51.4 percent from the field, and was also named to the 1972 NCAA All-Tournament Team and was a first-team Academic All-America in 1972, 1973, and 1974. |
|||
As mentioned above, this project covers all aspects of [[college football]]. Past and current project include articles about the college football traditions of individual schools, college football rivalries, notable games, and overviews of seasons on a national and school-by-school basis. In addition, key articles covering subject-specific terms like touchdown, field goal, or two-point conversion also fall under the purview of this project. Articles regarding the pageantry, other events, or mascots that support college football teams or events are also included in the project. |
|||
In March 2007, he was inducted into the Pac-10 Men's Basketball Hall of Honor. In an interview with the [[New York Post]] in 1985 and in several public speaking engagements, legendary coach Wooden stated, when asked to describe his ideal player: “I would have the player be a good student, polite, courteous, a good team player, a good defensive player and rebounder, a good inside player and outside shooter. Why not just take Jamaal Wilkes and let it go at that." |
|||
Articles about individual players are also included in the aegis of the project, though in most cases, the player's article will primarily fall under [[Wikipedia:WikiProject National Football League|Wikiproject National Football League]]. A player notable enough for inclusion in the project usually, but not always, goes on to a National Football League career, and thus is also covered under that project. |
|||
In 12 professional seasons with the [[Golden State Warriors]], [[Los Angeles Lakers]], and [[Los Angeles Clippers]], Wilkes was a member of four NBA championship teams - one with Golden State in 1975, the season he was named [[NBA Rookie of the Year Award|Rookie of the Year]] - and three with the Lakers (1980, 1982, 1985). An injury kept him out of the 1984 NBA finals against the [[Boston Celtics]], his absence being a key factor in the Lakers' seven game series loss. |
|||
This project is limited to college football in the [[United States]] under the umbrella of the [[NCAA]] and the [[National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics|NAIA]]. At present, college football in [[Canada]] is organized under [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Canadian football]]--however, there are some colleges that participate in both CIS and NAIA football. No other organized effort exists for non-American college football. If a need develops, a task force for [[British Universities American Football League|British college football]] may be created. |
|||
For his career, Wilkes registered 14,664 points (17.7 ppg) and 5,117 rebounds (6.2 rpg), averaging 16.1 ppg in 113 [[NBA playoffs|postseason games]]. He played in the 1976, 1981, and 1983 [[National Basketball Association All-Star Game|All-Star Game]]s and was named to the NBA All-Defensive Team twice. [[The Sporting News]] named Wilkes to its NBA All-Pro Second Team three years. |
|||
The project also does not at present cover [[National Junior College Athletic Association|junior college football]], [[sprint football]], or club teams. See [[CFB:TEAMS]] for more detail. |
|||
==Personal life== |
|||
Along with being one of the co-authors behind the book and audio course, “Success |
|||
Under Fire: Lessons For Being Your Best In Crunch Time”, Wilkes became a highly sought after motivational speaker for national organizations and Fortune 500 corporations. Upon his retirement from the NBA, he worked in the real estate and financial services industries in the last 22 years. In 2003, along with business partner Liza Wayne, he founded ''Jamaal Wilkes Financial Advisors'', a firm specializing in wealth management solutions. |
|||
At present, most effort is concentrated in the following areas: |
|||
Wilkes is a long-time resident of [[Playa Del Rey]], where Lakers owner [[Jerry Buss]] and coach [[Phil Jackson]], as well as other Lakers and Clippers players also reside. He has two sons and a daughter. His oldest son, Omar, graduated from the [[University of California at Berkeley]] where he played as [[shooting guard]] (6'4) for the basketball team.<ref>[http://calbears.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/wilkes_omar00.html Omar Wilkes Cal profile]</ref>His youngest, Jordan, is a sophomore [[center (basketball)|center]] (7 ft) for the same college,<ref>[http://calbears.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/wilkes_jordan00.html Jordan Wilkes Cal profile]</ref>while only daughter Sabreen, graduated from UCLA in 2005 (also playing [[volleyball]] for the college), went on to pursue a modeling and acting career. Wilkes himself made his future-film debut as Nathaniel "Cornbread" Hamilton in the 1973 basketball-themed drama, ''[[Cornbread, Earl and Me]]'', starring [[Moses Gunn]], [[Rosalind Cash]] and [[Bernie Casey]]. The film also marked the on-screen debut of actor [[Laurence Fishburne]], who was 12 years old at the time. |

=== CFB FAC Team === |

Their have been a few CFB FAC that have failed from lack of support. I would like to set up a team so we could review potential FAC before they become official FAC. Then we, as a team of CFB editors, can go and give support to the article. With over 100 editors, this should not be a hard task. Please respond here and/or my talkpage for any comments/questions.

Revision as of 00:35, 14 October 2008
This is a WikiProject, an area for focused collaboration among Wikipedians. New participants are welcome; please feel free to participate!
|
Welcome to WikiProject College football! Our hope is to expand and improve Wikipedia's coverage of the collegiate version of American Football. This page and its subpages contain a forum for coordinating editors' efforts and creating a coherent style across all college football articles. If you would like to help, sign your name on the participants list below and check out the article list, talk page, or list of requested tasks to see how you can help.
For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and Wikipedia:WikiProject/Best practices.
Scope
As mentioned above, this project covers all aspects of college football. Past and current project include articles about the college football traditions of individual schools, college football rivalries, notable games, and overviews of seasons on a national and school-by-school basis. In addition, key articles covering subject-specific terms like touchdown, field goal, or two-point conversion also fall under the purview of this project. Articles regarding the pageantry, other events, or mascots that support college football teams or events are also included in the project.
Articles about individual players are also included in the aegis of the project, though in most cases, the player's article will primarily fall under Wikiproject National Football League. A player notable enough for inclusion in the project usually, but not always, goes on to a National Football League career, and thus is also covered under that project.
This project is limited to college football in the United States under the umbrella of the NCAA and the NAIA. At present, college football in Canada is organized under Wikipedia:WikiProject Canadian football--however, there are some colleges that participate in both CIS and NAIA football. No other organized effort exists for non-American college football. If a need develops, a task force for British college football may be created.
The project also does not at present cover junior college football, sprint football, or club teams. See CFB:TEAMS for more detail.
At present, most effort is concentrated in the following areas:
- Team articles (such as Virginia Tech Hokies football)
- Season articles (2006 Oklahoma Sooners football team)
- Rivalry articles (Army-Navy Game)
- Bowl games (2006 Chick-fil-A Bowl)
- Key terms (Touchdown, Defense (American football))
- Mascots (Sparty)
- Pageantry (Aggie Bonfire)
- Players (Elmer Gedeon)
Related Wikiportals
The College football Wikiproject currently maintains Portal:College football and assists on an as-needed basis in the maintenance of Portal:American football. Editors are encouraged to submit and nominate content on both portals. Portal:College football/Selected Content/Nominations provides an overview of scheduled content and examples of what qualifies to be featured content. In addition, important college football events should be added to the College Football News section of the portal, which is also maintained by project members.

- Blue-Gray Football Classic- Needs some dressing up, and I don't think it's templated/categorized properly for this project. I'm on a small wikibreak, but I keep hearing this game referenced on sportstalk radio lately ('tis the season), so punting to here...

Cleanup Listing
User User:WolterBot has created a cleanup listing for our project.
A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.
CFB FAC Team
Their have been a few CFB FAC that have failed from lack of support. I would like to set up a team so we could review potential FAC before they become official FAC. Then we, as a team of CFB editors, can go and give support to the article. With over 100 editors, this should not be a hard task. Please respond here and/or my talkpage for any comments/questions.
