Yes I forgot to mention "Fly" Williams. Those Spirits were quite a bunch. Along with the aforementioned "Movin" Marvin "Bad News" Barnes, Maurice Lucas, Moses Malone, "Fly" WIlliams, we had "Goo" Kennedy, ML Carr, Freddie Lewis and Gus Gerard out of Virginia. When you went to a Spirits game you could buy a $2 ticket and be sitting at courtside by the 2nd quarter. It was great fun but never caught on in St. Louis. I loved the ABA. And Tom, it was always a treat to see Artis and the boys roll in from Louisville. Artis had an afro for the ages too!
