Hall of Fame
LeBon was a two-year member of the men's basketball team, playing under fellow 2015 Nanook Hall of Fame inductee Al Svenningson. In his first year on campus, LeBon helped the UAF men's basketball team to its first postseason tournament championship, as the Nanooks captured the 1973 NAIA District I Championship.
During the 1973-74 season, LeBon averaged a double-double with 11.8 points and 10.7 rebounds per game as he helped Alaska win a then-school-record 22 games and made the school's second-straight appearance in the NAIA District I Championship game. He was named the both the team's Most Valuable Player and Most Outstanding Player during the '73-74 season and was named the NAIA's Player of the Week in December of 1973, when he collected a total of 36 points and an astounding 36 rebounds for the week. LeBon is a member of the Nanooks 500-point club, as he scored 615 points during his two-year career.
After his graduation, LeBon, who is the Executive Vice President of Mt. McKinley Bank, has been a huge booster of the athletic program. He is the founder of the Mt. McKinley Bank North Star Invitational, which is a women's basketball tournament that has been played every year since 2001, and also served as chairman of the now-defunct Top of the World Men's Basketball Tournament. The Bart LeBon Humanitarian Award, which annually goes to a UAF student-athlete who lends a hand to the community and spends several hours volunteering, was named after him.
