Re: RIP Connie Hawkins
Hawk on the ABA - "The ABA was a good league. The ABA was a lot of good guards, good forwards, wasn't a lot of good centers"
NBA today is the ABA of yesteryear. With more athleticism of course.

OT Connie Hawkins dead at 75
For those of you who never got to watch him play, his game is part of the foundation that the modern game is based on. He was an amazing talent. Condolences to his friends and family.
All in all he's just another prick with no wall

RIP – Connie Hawkins
The Hawk – Dr. J before Dr. J. Too bad they didn’t have Sports Center back in the day, those would be some entertaining clips

One of the GOATs. His rookie season in the ABA is what legends are made of.

Right. He and Earl The Pearl were my two favorite players to watch growing up.
