Billy Knight == TWA

[drzachary]

I've been reading a great book called Loose Balls by Terry Pluto. It's the story of the ABA, and there are some nice bits about BK in it. You learn that his nickname was "TWA," which stood for "Teeny-Weeny Afro," because he could never seem to grow a full one.

He's always been a wanna be?????

Nah, he was an exceptionally good player. There's no doubt there.

Like he can't grow a full team?

Really? You don't think he was just a scorer?

I read that book a long time ago and it is a great book. I grew up in the 70s and remember those ABA days and the characters. GREAT BOOK! BTW, I grew up in Indiana and remember BK well. He could fill it up baby.

If only he could fill our roster up with a C and PG...

in knight's second season in the aba (1976), he averaged over 28 points, over 10 rebounds, and almost 4 assists on 50% shooting.

he was a really great player back on those days. basketball reference cites his nickname as "mooney."

I would love for us to have one or two of these "just scorers" right now....

...and if you notice...Woody has a somewhat tall forehead? That could be part of why we guarranteed Shelden. Heads of the feather - stay together.
