Colonels Card of the Day

Dan Issel
The ABA's Rookie of the Year for 1970-71, Dan led the ABA in scoring and in scoring average. He was the most highly acclaimed rookie in the history of Kentucky's ABA franchise. A consensus All-American at U. of Kentucky, he earned that distinction by setting 23 school and Southeastern Conference records, becoming the leading scorer in Kentucky history in the process.

Name that player!

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.

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?


Artis was named ABA's MVP and All-ABA center in rookie campaign last season. Artis was league's leading rebounder, blocked 412 shots & led ABA in 2-point field goal shooting. Broke ABA record, hitting 806 of 1,348 attempts for .598 mark, bettering Zelmo Beaty's record of .555.
