Default O/T what happened to the NBA? Bad Marketing?

I once went to Hempstead High School to watch the Nets play the San Antonio Spurs (I think) in a pre-season game in a high school gym. Dr. J scored close to 50 points and Larry Kenon close to 30...it was fantastic, and I think I was the only white person in the whole gym.



Jeff- I remember the Spirits of St. Louis well- Bob Costas was their play-by-play-man. But I don't remember the time they knocked the Nets out of the play-offs.



The only championship game I ever saw in person was the game the Indiana Pacers clinched the 1972 ABA Championship in the Coliseum. It was pre-Dr. J. and the Nets star was Rick Barry. George McGinnis and Roger Brown were Indiana's star players.

Oops- you mentioned Costas, I missed it.
