Pro Table Games (PTG) card from 1966. Russ was player-coach, first African American coach, for Celts during his final 3 seasons, winning two titles. Only loss to Wilt (1967). Those 3 seasons put Russell into Hall as coach (2021), augmenting induction as player (1975). Russ was a cultural icon. ๐Ÿ€

The Harper trade was a joke. I met Gund in the coastal town of Florence, OR as a sportswriter for the Siuslaw News in 1991. His son had biked from coast to coast with friends. I wrote an article about it. Gund seemed like a nice guy. He told me that I could talk to Cavs GM Wayne Embry any time. ๐Ÿ€

I just finished reading "Unguarded" three days ago! Great minds think alike. Visited Lenny's new statue at Climate Pledge Arena in December. The City of Seattle was lucky to have him. BTW: A SuperSonics book, "What's Happenin'?" by Blaine Johnson (copyright 1978), is next on my reading list.

I randomly replayed this exact game last week on Rod's Tabletop Hoops. The Twin Towers vs. (Donaldson and) Bill Walton. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfew...

"House" scored the final two points in ABA history, dropping in a lay-up as the buzzer sounded for the New York Nets in Game 6 of the 1975-76 finals. Rich finished with a 1-for-12 shooting performance but the Nets outscored the Nuggets 34-14 in that final quarter to win the crown. ๐Ÿ€

From the "Rick Barry" issue of The Sporting News. How did the ABA's Denver Nuggets get David Thompson with the first pick in the 1975 ABA Draft after finishing with a league-best 65-19 record during the 1974-75 season? ๐Ÿ€

Today's haul. Piecing together the 1974-75 Topps set. Wondering why Topps produced both an NBA "Scoring" and a "Scoring Avg" card? Slightly different results but the top three are the same guys. ๐Ÿ€

Great podcast. Note: I think Paul Silas was also nicknamed "Chairman of the Boards" with the SuperSonics during the 1977-78 NBA season. Paul's Fast Break tabletop basketball game card.

The new branding looks great, Adam, and that Mike Riordan podcast was so entertaining. We've always heard from Frazier, Monroe, Reed and Lucas about those 1970s New York Knicks. Riordan's insight was refreshing - a different angle from the rest. Sounds like a great guy, too. ๐Ÿ€

Pablo Torre had to leave ESPN to carve out a spot in the media landscape that fits him, mixing the silly โ€” even the salacious โ€” with the smart.

Here's how the journalist has been able to cut through the noise with his own show, โ€œPablo Torre Finds Outโ€: http://dlvr.it/TL47fH

Kind of reminds me of this guy, who was one of my favorite Reds before signing with the Mets in 1982.
