Instead of buying ABA gear from Fanatics and the NBA, consider making a donation to Dropping Dimes, which was founded to help struggling ABA players with their health and financials. 🙏
Consider ABA guys like Ralph Simpson or Gerald Govan when you do!

“Like” this if you REFUSE to buy the NBA’s 50th anniversary ABA apparel and merch till a % of sales goes to ABA guys in need.
“Reshare” this if you REFUSE to buy ABA apparel and merch until the NBA includes ABA stats in its records
And drop that $ at @droppingdimes67 instead!

In the 60s, Wilt got whistled for millimeter pivot slips. Today, perimeter players get unlimited gather steps and carries.
The rule enforcement leeway directly drives today's inflated efficiency. Modern defense will stay broken until the league restores fundamental rules.

BREAKING: Not one single dollar from ABA jersey or apparel sales this season will flow back to the ABA guys or related groups like the Dropping Dimes Foundation
☹️🤨😠

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
Reshare if you agree and support the Dropping Dimes Foundation: droppingdimes.org

The Knicks' last championship banner night was Oct 9, 1973.
There was no ceremony. The banner was already hanging when fans arrived, and the Garden sat 1,000 short of a sellout while the Mets played a playoff game that afternoon.
Tonight they raise their first in 53 years.

Six players have scored 50 or more points in a regular-season opener. Michael Jordan is the only player to do it more than once.
The 2026-27 NBA season tips off soon on @NBAonNBC!

Victor Wembanyama has led the NBA in blocks per game in each of the last three seasons. He can become the first player to do so in four straight seasons since blocks became an official NBA statistic in 1973-74.
Wembanyama and the @Spurs open their season when they host the @okcthunder tonight at 9:30 PM ET on @NBAonNBC.

Jim Pollard on Wilt Chamberlain blocking 9 consecutive shots by rookie Walt Bellamy:
"My man is 6-11, but every time he went for the shot, boom, there was that big hand."
"Chamberlain is great, but he ought to be better. He paces himself something terrible. One of these nights he's gonna get mad and score 100 points… and stuff three players and two referees through the hoop while he's at it."
When rookie Walt Bellamy was tasked with guarding Wilt Chamberlain in 1961-62:
"There are a lot of ways to court disaster, like fooling around with a loaded gun, or assigning a rookie to play against Wilt Chamberlain."
"Chamberlain not only poured in 51 points but blocked the first nine shots taken by Bellamy inside the free throw line. Bellamy, a former All-America at Indiana who had been averaging 29 points a game in the NBA, was held to 14."
