My NBA career was one of relative anonymity – eleven seasons with six teams. I played in Seattle when they were know as the Supersonics. Then an early-season trade moved me to Chicago. I continued moving east and roamed the hardwood of the Aud with a Braves uniform. A mid-season trade sent me to Phoenix. I finished my career playing for the San Diego Clippers. In all I scored over 6,000 points and grabbed 5,000+ boards. I did rank 6th in the league one year for blocks and tenth another year. I did actually finish tenth one year for rebounds per game. None of these numbers will get me a spot in Springfield. In fact basketballreference.com lists my HOF probability at 0%. But there is one thing that keeps my name in the discussion of NBA history. It was my shot that forced the third overtime in Game 5 of the ’76 finals.
Who am I?

Chas – I am so tempted to increase the avatar size. 🙂
Yeah, the tiny avatar doesn’t do that picture justice, does it?
Mayberry loves the Giants. Pa and I listen to all the games on our transistor radio.
Yeah, Ope’s favorite player is Y.A. Tittle ’cause he’s the quarterback. Me, I appreciate the working class guys like Andy Robustelli, Sam Huff and Rosey Brown.
