Colonels Card of the Day

Wendell Ladner
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.

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?


A member of the ABA's All Defensive Squad for 1972-73, Mike has the potential to be a great pro guard. He has unlimited skills and, when unleashed, he could earn that title. Although somewhat reluctant to go to the basket, Mike has made some of his biggest games in clutch situations for the Colonels. Mike was an NAIA All-American in college.

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.
