You're forgetting the GREAT GERALD GOVAN! GERALD was one of the best players ever in the ABA and definitely was one of the top 5 rebounders in ABA HISTORY. GERALD was one of only 6 players to play all 9 seasons of the ABAS existence. Please do a documentary about GERALD. I'm a friend of his as well

14:33 😢Thanks for the memories 🎉 Larry Keenan, Bill Milkioni

Bill Russell is the real Goat. First player im drafting if im picking an all time team

Dr. J was the ABA. It was very surprising that the Commissioner and owners did not get him to New York sooner for a television contract. With the Squires, Doc was very obscure. But compare Dr. J's ABA play to the crap that is the NBA Cup In Season Tournament? Basketball was way better in the 70s

You're right, there were/are a whole lot more great ABA players!! I'm afraid you're a little too young to know any of them however....lol I'm an old timer, and I remember all of them.

2 of the 3 BEST were omitted: #1 Dan Issel #3 Charlie Scott

Do your research Roger Brown -Indiana Pacers

Slick Watts. Anyone? Bald with a head band and as kid I thought he was one of their stars

#1 RICK BARRY.

My of my greatest sports regrets is that the Colonels did not move to the NBA. The only pro basketball game I have ever attended was at Freedom Hall in the mid-70s when the Nets came in to play the Colonels. Kentucky won, and Gilmore scored 28 points. Dr J had 23 points.

Dan Issel was the Larry Bird of the ABA.

Great Great Vídeo informativo

James Jones and Donnie Freeman were great ABA players. Both Utah Stars.

Jumping JOE CALDWELL, JUMPING OVER CARS IN OFF SEASON

If we had cable back then, the story would have been different ❤❤❤❤

Very nice video. Didn't know that Rick Barry was even more of a dick than he was

Plan to play in this 🏀🙏🏾

I wish George never Smoke Cigs. He would have had 3 more outstanding years and another 4 in the league

Billy Cunningham was a Great ABA Player - I know he only played a few years at most. but he was MVP ( I think )

Kenny Walker, also had the monikor skywalker, but with a twist...due to his last name...Kenny Sky Walker..but DT was a true skywalker..his vertical was off the charts..rumor was he could brab a quarter from the top of the backboard...thx for the great content and GL with channel..

You missed George McGinnis.

Its sad the Internet wasnt around to see jordan

The A train was one of my heros!

It wasn't SMU who gave the gold trans am... it was the team Dickerson committed to before them

Excellent look at the ABA! I grew up watching the Kentucky Colonels and the rest of the ABA. Louie Dampier was indeed the heart of the ABA, playing from day 1 to the final game, which was in the 1976 playoffs against the Denver Nuggets. When Louie would shoot that 3-pointer, the crowd would go into such a state of anticipation, watching that pinwheel-looking ball spin for 25 feet! It was like baseball fans following a long ball out to the fence with their eyes. And when he'd hit it, it was just like a home run. Since Louie Dampier proved how the 3-pointer could make the game fan-friendly and exciting, it is he who is responsible for the NBA and the college game adopting the 3. That makes him one of the most influential players ever.

Moses Malone was the greatest ABA player

The Globetrotters owner was pronounced Sap (like tree sap) per steen.

Ed Macauley is pronounced (mah-cal-lee)

*just take it to RUCKERS PARK* !!!

*DR.J* *A.B.A* *IS WHAT THE NEGRO BASEBAL LEAGUE* *ITS HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHY RECORDS WERE NOT KEPT FROM THE A.B.A.* *ITS A BLK THANG* *just another eraser, to rub out blk men* *the greatest role*

Wilt should of had 3 more MVPs the league was always against him he got a shitty deal but people who know basketball and its history know he was the goat period. Wilt more often than not kicked Bill Russell's ass despite contradicting opinions.

rick Barry was a punk

Roger Brown Indiana Pacers !🏀

Us old-time Pacer fans remind you that Roger Brown and George McGinnis need to be added to this list. Also: Willie Wise, Moses Malone, Billy Cunningham

Also, FTP

Hey this is a great documentary! 🐻⬇️

I am 65 years old I watch the Aba in it's prime and there was no one close to the Dr. His highwire act is undisputed he was the A.b.a.

It was a shame and a big disrespect that the great Roger Brown of the Indiana Pacers was excluded from this video. Unexcusable. And Moses Malone, Dan Issel, and others.

Some more info for you. That first year after merger the all star game has half the roster from the ABA. You need to look up and read about the ABA Pacers vs NBA NY Knicks haha good stuff. I also highly recommend the book "We Changed The Game" by Bob Netolicky, Richard Tinkham & Robin Miller and the Dropping Dimes Foundation (who recently, after years of fighting with NBA) won a settlement with the NBA and backing of Players Union to give monthly pension payments to serving ABA players tiered to how many years they played and some medical benefits which helped many of them out as they were in dire need of assistance.

Dan Issel
