[QUOTE="nichi, post: 1626819, member: 2156"] Guys who played in the ABA before the 1976 merger tend to get overlooked. Skip Thoren, whose ABA career was shortened by injuries, is another example. There were also guys like Dave Downey and Jim Dawson who could have played the ABA or NBA, but the pay was not that good back then, the travel was brutal, and they chose to pursue lucrative business oppurtunities. Tal Brody was another one who had other plans. [/QUOTE]
