description: "Alex John Groza was an American professional basketball player from Martins Ferry, Ohio. Resulting from the 1951 college basketball point-shaving scandal, Groza was banned from the National Basketball Association (NBA) for life in 1951. In college, he won two NCAA championships as captain of the University of Kentucky Wildcats, and was a two-time All-NBA player for the Indianapolis Olympians before his career abruptly ended."
