The Colonels and the Reds were the reasons I was not a UK basketball fanatic in my childhood.....until the 77-78 team.

The Colonels were the best team in pro ball that season. Would have beaten the nba champs,the Golden State Warriors, with Rick Barry.

Hubie Brown one time said they were the best pro team he ever saw

Never thought of it like that. But you’re probably right.

The Spirits of St. Louis. Best money rights negotiation in the history of sports when ABA went to the NBA. Made their owners very rich men

John Y Brown got rich but he made a lot of Kentuckians mad. It was surprising that he was able to get elected governor a few years later.
