Lincoln was a rural Alaska basketball superstar who led Kotzebue to a Class 3A state championship before becoming the first Alaska Native to play basketball on scholarship at UAA (1993-97). A 5-foot-7 point guard, he made up for his lack of size with deft ball-handling and dazzling passing skills. He worked his way into the starting lineup and helped the Seawolves to three conference titles and three NCAA Tournament appearances. Lincoln’s 325 career assists ranks 7th all-time and his 85.4 percent free throw shooting ranks 6th all-time.
