Jack McCracken

Jack "Jumping Jack" McCracken (June 15, 1911 - January 5, 1958) was a basketball player in 1930s and 1940s. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) players of all time and was officially named as the greatest player of all time by the AAU organization.

A native of Chickasha, Oklahoma, McCracken went through high school in Classen, Oklahoma. He attended Northwest Missouri State Teachers College (now Northwest Missouri State University) and played for legendary coach Henry Iba, who had also coached him in high school. McCracken never turned pro.
