Cool Big O push shot.

My dad took me to many of those ABA Pacers games when I was young. Whenever the Pacers needed a basket, they would clear out one side and let Roger Brown take his man one on one. He rarely failed to deliver. In that championship series you mentioned, Roger averaged over 44 points per game. The only other player to do that in a playoff series was Jerry West. Before the ABA was formed, the great Oscar Robertson used to go to Dayton Ohio (Roger’s home town) and play pickup games against him. The word was that Roger held his own. Brown was the first ever player signed by the Pacers, thanks to the Big O. He was an elite player who would have been great in either league.

Moses Malone began his career in the ABA, and it’s my understanding that had his ABA rebounding numbers been added to his NBA stats, he would be third all time in total rebounds, behind only Chamberlain and Russell. Not bad.

Left Big Dan out until just now?

Had to leave someone noticeable out for the follow up video!
