[QUOTE]When people wonder what kind of player Marvin Barnes was in the ABA, Joe Mullaney recalls this play in Terry Pluto
[QUOTE=Psileas]Great find on Barnes. The ABA was full of bizarre personalities, as it was easier for them to thrive in a less strictly structured and organized league.
You already mentioned Brisker, a Sprewell-like guy (at his most stable...), with a Bison Dele-like end.
I propose you also look up [B]Reggie Harding - a real life 7-foot criminal[/B], the worst teammate anyone could ever hope to have (imagine your teammate beating you in a one-on-one game and then you telling him to get the F out of the way or else you'd take out your gun and shoot him-and meaning it. Well, this actually happened...).[/QUOTE]
