@sabbathgodsofmetal how true ..Wilt Chamberlain as also good

[sabbathgodsofmetal]

@zekest true, and you could say he had a disadvantage with Championships cuz he played against the 60's Celtics, but i would still put Kareem as the best

Wow! a young Charlie Jones! Awesome!

[JustTrueFacts]

Hayes was national POY for some, yet failed to make the all NCAA final 4 team. Seems Larry Miller made it along with 4 Bruins because UCLA totally dominated Houston in teh semi's. UCLA had a 44 point lead when Wooden cleared the bench withj 5 minutes left in the game

Was that Charlie Scott who tried to drive for a layup with Alcindor standing right there?

There's bravery, and then there's foolishness.

[jirishanca]

The defense really hustled back on that play starting about 1:00. How can a guy start under his own basket, lope down the court, and be standing alone under the basket for a layup?

Isn't it amazing that none of these guys played on the 1968 Olympic team, and the US still won the gold ! Times have changed. I remember 4 of these guys very well, but Larry Miller is somewhat of a mystery. He played his entire career in the ABA , and he was on some teams that I did not get to see much of (e.g., Carolina Cougars). I was surprised to learn that he actually holds the ABA single game scoring record of 67 points (against the Memphis Pros in 1972).

Miller shot 25 of 39 from the field, missing his lone three point attempt, and used his pump fakes to draw a lot of fouls, connecting on 17 of 23 free throw attempts. He also had eight rebounds and four assists while playing 46 of a possible 48 minutes. Millers point totals by quarter were 21, 17, 20 and nine. Miller concludes, Its kind of nice to have a record that will never be broken (since the ABA no longer exists).
