Great story about Kentucky Colonels coach Hubie Brown’s colorful language, from the book Loose Balls by Terry Pluto…
Hubie could really cuss. We had a game in Virginia where there was no one in the stands. I was broadcasting it, and it was so quiet that you could hear the shoes squeaking, the ball hitting the floor on a dribble and banging against the rim. You could also hear Hubie and his imaginative cussing. I was trying to to talk as much and as loudly as I could, but Hubie was still going over the air. At halftime, Hubie’s wife called and said, “For God’s sake, you can hear Hubie swearing on the radio. Can’t you do something?”
I said I’d try to talk a little louder.
—Van Vance, radio broadcaster

Ted McClain was one of my favorite players on that team, Gilmore, Issel, Dampier as well.

This stat from the Atlanta Braves is wild 👀
In 2025:
⚾ Baseball business → $51M income
🏙️ Mixed-use business → $68M income
The real estate+ businesses surrounding the Braves generated 34% MORE operating income than the baseball team itself.

For those of you that don’t know, this is Dan Issel 🐴💙🤍
Dan turned 78 today.
He was a Kentucky standout and is the leading scorer in school history.
He was an ABA star and champ and when combined with his NBA stats, is the 14th leading scorer in pro hoops history.

I’m glad the NBA is celebrating the ABA’s. But it’s BS to recognize our league while many former ABA players struggle and their stats remain excluded from NBA records!
Honor the players. Honor the history. Honor the numbers. Honor the Legacy!
NBA, do the right thing!!

In 2024, Major League Baseball incorporated the statistics of the Negro Leagues.
In 2025, the NFL incorporated the statistics of the All-America Football Conference.
In 2026, on the 50th anniversary of NBA-ABA merger, will the NBA incorporate the statistics of the ABA?
The NBA is selling ABA gear but ABA stats don’t count in NBA records, and no share of merchandise $$ has been publicly committed to former ABA players.
Honor the legacy, not just the logos

Here’s another one: BS!
Not one dime of ABA apparel sales are going to Indy based companies @lana_sports or @droppingdimes67
And DDF helps former ABA guys in need who are struggling with health or financial challenges! 😠
