Robert Van Sickle McKeen (November 30, 1933 – December 31, 1999)[1][2] was an American basketball player, best known for his All-American college career at the University of California, Berkeley.

McKeen, a 6'7 center out of Piedmont High School in Piedmont, California, played for the Cal Golden Bears under coaches Nibs Price and Pete Newell.

He was a four-year starter for the Bears, earning all-Pacific Coast Conference accolades in each of his four seasons.

[3] McKeen left Cal as the school's all-time leading scorer (1,632 points, record since eclipsed) and rebounder (1,019).

After considering the minimal salary offered to him by the NBA, McKeen opted for a career in business instead.
