Ted McClain was one of my favorite players on that team, Gilmore, Issel, Dampier as well.

This stat from the Atlanta Braves is wild 👀
In 2025:
⚾ Baseball business → $51M income
🏙️ Mixed-use business → $68M income
The real estate+ businesses surrounding the Braves generated 34% MORE operating income than the baseball team itself.

For those of you that don’t know, this is Dan Issel 🐴💙🤍
Dan turned 78 today.
He was a Kentucky standout and is the leading scorer in school history.
He was an ABA star and champ and when combined with his NBA stats, is the 14th leading scorer in pro hoops history.

I’m glad the NBA is celebrating the ABA’s. But it’s BS to recognize our league while many former ABA players struggle and their stats remain excluded from NBA records!
Honor the players. Honor the history. Honor the numbers. Honor the Legacy!
NBA, do the right thing!!

In 2024, Major League Baseball incorporated the statistics of the Negro Leagues.
In 2025, the NFL incorporated the statistics of the All-America Football Conference.
In 2026, on the 50th anniversary of NBA-ABA merger, will the NBA incorporate the statistics of the ABA?
The NBA is selling ABA gear but ABA stats don’t count in NBA records, and no share of merchandise $$ has been publicly committed to former ABA players.
Honor the legacy, not just the logos

Here’s another one: BS!
Not one dime of ABA apparel sales are going to Indy based companies @lana_sports or @droppingdimes67
And DDF helps former ABA guys in need who are struggling with health or financial challenges! 😠
#ColonelsComeBack retweeted
Not one sale from this Team Store is going to the former ABA players or the Dropping Dimes Foundation!
Let’s change that!

Unfortunately not $1 of if went to ABA guys or @droppingdimes67

It should be Louisville!
@COLCOMEBACK
Seattle is no longer considered a lock for an NBA expansion team, Adam Silver has informed team owners, per @WindhorstESPN.
The league is reportedly using Mexico City as a potential alternative to pressure Seattle’s bidding group into raising its offer.

It should be Seattle and LOUISVILLE. Vegas is a mistake.
