The Florida Gators experienced an incredible amount of success on the basketball court when they won back-to-back championships in 2006 and 2007 under the leadership of head coach Billy Donovan. The key to winning the two championships was having a collection of players that were not only talented, but unselfish as well, putting the team above themselves; playing well together and playing to win, as opposed to playing to boost their own stats or for their own glory. The starting lineup of Joakim Noah, Al Horford, Taurean Green, Lee Humphrey, and Corey Brewer weren’t world beaters during the 2005-2006 campaign, but they banded together at the right time and played their best basketball when the stakes were high, going on an incredible run in the NCAA tournament, leaving no doubt as to whom was the best team in college basketball. Even after achieving the ultimate team accomplishment, all the underclassmen on the team returned the following year with the goal of winning another national championship. This time around, in the 2006-2007 season, there was no doubt all season long as to whom the kings of college basketball were. It was the Florida Gators; winning championships, and doing so the right way.
