Yes you may!
A few years ago I went searching for anything on the Supergames between the NBA and the ABA, and found this Webpage:

Also watched some footage, enjoyed the hell out of them. It's like watching video of legendary beings you've never seen. :bowdown:
Will watch these links in a few days.

I've seen the whole game. Really interesting matchups, esp. Wilt vs Gilmore. Too bad, though, that a few elite NBAers, especially Kareem, were missing and that the greatest play of the game, some dunk or acrobatic lay-up Dr.J performed from almost the FT line was cut due to those stupid technical difficulties. Imagine something like that happening today. :facepalm

I watched that game live on TV.

Incidently, I enjoyed the discussion about Wilt's height. Without looking it up on that video, Hundley mentions that Wilt is noticeably taller than Gilmore (who probably had a 3" afro at the time.) And Gilmore was a full 7-2.

lol 6 whole points for Ilt? That was all he could put up against people who wouldn't even make the D league today?

Wilt was 7'5 with Shoes on.
With modern shoes he'd be listed at 7'8 or so.
