jdrumBarry,
I'm with you. I grew up in St. Louis watching The Spirits with Marvin Barnes, Maurice Lucas and Moses Malone. Seems like the only time they would draw over 2000 fans was when The Nets would bring Dr. J to town or the Nuggets would come in with David Thompson and Dan Issel. If I remember correctly and I may be wrong, I believe The Spirits once knocked The Nets out of the ABA playoffs when they had yet to ever beat them in a regular season game. It's been thirty years so that might be a little off. BTW the radio voice of The Spirits of St. Louis was Bob Costas. Great memories but yet I haven't watched an entire NBA game since the late 80's and have lived in Atlanta for 15 years and never been to a Hawks game.
Edit: spellin', twice
