Rutgers Athletics Hall of Fame
Mike Dabney, who played at Rutgers from 1972-76, was a silky, smooth guard who starred for the great Rutgers teams of the mid 1970's. The East Orange native was the second-leading scorer on the Scarlet Knights' Final Four team in 1975-1976. That season, Dabney averaged 19. 1 points per game and was named honorable mention All-American. Teaming with backcourt mate Eddie Jordan, Dabney led the team in steals with 110. He was known for his grace and quickness on the court. The image most Rutgers fans have of Dabney probably centers around his many fast break layups, many of which came off steals. The fourth-leading scorer in school history with 1,902 points, he was a third-round draft choice of the Los Angeles Lakers.
