Name that player!

Louie has played his best basketball in playoffs. Had 18 assists in one playoff game & 179 for entire series in 1970-71. Has played 16,075 minutes in ABA, more than any other player in the history of the league.

Who is it?


Although somewhat short for a forward, what Wendell lacks in height he more than makes up for in hustle and reckless pursuit. Wendell has been described as tenacious, aggresive and fearless player who resembles a linebacker instead of the superb forward he is. Wendell was named to Western Division Squad for the 1972 ABA All-Star Game.

Who is it?


On court, Cincy's unorthodox style deceives the defender. When he fakes it's an exaggerated up-and-down motion, he shoots his jumpers on the way down and gets them away with great frequency as avg. shows. Traded to Utah Stars - Aug. 16, 1972.
