• At the University of North Carolina they called him Rosie - but in the annals of Jewish basketball, all you have to say is LENNIE - and everyone knows you are talking about LENNIE ROSENBLUTH.

A 6-foot, 5-inch forward from The Bronx, New York, Lennie was one the greatest players in North Carolina history.

He was the undisputed team leader, with tremendous all-around skills. Whether it was a needed basket or rebound, he was the man everyone looked to when the game was on the line. There was never a better clutch performer than Lennie Rosenbluth.

Lennie was as smooth as glass. There was never a herky-jerky movement. He was the master of the catch-and-shoot play, executing from beginning to end in one fluid motion.

Lennie had an incredibly soft touch that translated to every shot in his repertoire, whether it was his deadly outside 1-hander, or twirling through the lane with his majestic hook. His jump shots were almost unstoppable, always released at the very top of his jump.

And even though he was a phonemenal marksmen from anywhere on the floor, he very seldom took a poor shot, or a low percentage shot. And he very seldom missed. Lennie once said that when he was on his game the hoop looked like a bathtub to him.

One of his greatest assets was his poise, the ease with which he did his stuff on the basketball court. He was the epitome of the “cool customer.” He never seemed to rattle or feel pressure. He was always under control, and kept the game under control.

His confidence infused his teammates. They knew he could score almost at will, so they played better and without pressure. With every opponent concentrating on stopping Lennie, his teammates were able to play a loose and free-wheeling game.

Of course, Lennie played that way all the time, no matter what the situation.

In 1957 he led the Tarheels to an undefeated season, the ACC Championship, and the NCAA Championship. That year he was a consensus All America, and he became the first Jewish player to be named Helms College Basketball Player of The Year.

Ranked as one of the 100 Greatest College Basketball Players of All Time, Lennie still holds 8 North Carolina records, including: most points in a season (895), highest career scoring average (26.9), and single season scoring average (28.0). He is the second all time leading scorer with 2,045 points. His #10 jersey is retired and hangs from the rafters of the Smith Center.

Lennie Rosenbluth was selected to the All Decade Final Four Team for the 1950s. He is a member of the Helms College Basketball Hall of Fame, the New York City Basketball Hall of Fame, the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, and the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.
