Bill Russell

i don't think magic won 2 in a row at michigan.

when did bibby win 2 in a row as an nba player?

who the heck is billy thompson?

 
OK, then I'm confused as to what you are asking. I thought you were asking for players that won a title their last year in college, and then also won a title their first year in the NBA. That's what "back to back ncaa and nba titles" sounds like to me.

Billy Thompson played with the Lakers, Heat, and Warriors. Came out of Louisville in 87. Only played 6 seasons in the league.

yeah sorry i rephrased that in the OP.
 
This might help. Duke is the only school to win back to back championships lately (1991 and 1992). UCLA is the previous school, and they did it back to back to back etc.

I'm pretty sure Laettner, Hurley, and Hill never won back to back NBA championships. Laettner never even played past the 2nd round of the playoffs.
 
There are no players who won back-to-back NCAA titles and then back-to-back NBA titles..are there? 4 titles in 4 years?

If you are asking for an NCAA title one year, NBA title the next, that is a different thing.

Wasn't Billy Thompson a Lousville player, a backup PF/C - then drafted by the Lakers?

I know for sure that Magic and Bill Russell did this, no idea about Bibby.
