wonder if you can also spot Žydrūnas Ilgauskas. He was 10 years old and (allegedly) in attendance at this game in Vilnius!

(I'm also not fully convinced that Big Z has ever been 10 years old)

actually Dominikas

Klifas Levingstonas

Very likely that Larese's assist total was just a scorekeeping error and was mixed up with Guy Rodgers' in the boxscore (a rare mistake by the great Harvey Pollack? maybe Harvey had a day off)

Zero assists in 40 mins for Rodgers, a HOF PG and playing with Wilt, could never have happened, come on

You know what would've been even cooler? If they also had a Big Dog on the roster.

Sometimes you just gotta dive into the NBL cagers pool en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Ger...

Right now it's "Westphal's return to Phoenix" trajectory

Should also be noted that the wartime Chicago Studebaker Flyers of the same NBL employed some of the Globetrotters in '41, incl. Sonny Boswell. Same year the Toledo franchise has also integrated (but quickly disbanded)

And Hank Williams played for Buffalo in Midwest Conference, precursor to the NBL
