George Mikan is the creator of the Mikan Drill. But did you know he was the original superstar and OG dominant player of the NBA?

When you hear the term dominant, in terms of basketball, who do you think of?

Probably Wilt, Shaq, LeBron, or Giannis. But did you know that the first super dominant player was a player by the name of George Mikan?

If you’re keeping it real, you’ve probably never heard of him before (though you’ve probably heard of the Mikan Drill).

And it’s fine.

He was a player from the late-40s and 50s after all. And commentators don’t really throw his name around left and right like they do for some of the other superstars.

But despite the lack of recognition, Mikan was a beast of a player.
