Louie Dampier played all nine ABA seasons for the Kentucky Colonels and is the only player who made the playoffs in all nine. His 728 ABA games are the most anyone played in that league.

Issel says Hall of Fame treats him like royalty. Artis goes to Hall of Fame, but Louie stays home!

@DanIssel44 (Mr. Dan Issel) was a standout at every level: Batavia HS (Illinois), U. of Kentucky, Kentucky & Denver (pro). He outshines most players in both the ABA and NBA (post-merger) and is a classic example of why player totals should include each league.

MLB includes Negro League stats. The NFL includes AFL stats. But the NBA doesn’t recognize ABA stats. Make it make sense! 🤨😬 More on the subject below ⬇️

Dan Issel is the #172 all time scorer in NBA history, 7 points behind Richie Guerin! Wait, what?! His ABA points aren’t included in the NBA stats?? When they are, the Horse vaults to #14 all time, where his 27.5k points are just behind Shaq and Melo! Right the wrong, NBA!

Received a review copy of a new book by Dan Issel with Doug Brunk. Should be an exciting read! Will do a review in my Christmas column on new sports books in late November or early December. #GoBigBlue #BBN #WeAreUK @KentuckyMBB @DanIssel44 @dougbrunk @KentuckyPress

Las Vegas didn't sell a single seat in the Upper Deck! Louisville needs to host preseason games! @TilmanJFertitta @MagicJohnson @RobertIger @thrivecapital Instead of Las Vegas, you all need to buy a team in a city that loves basketball. #COLONELSCOMEBACK @nba2lou

Hard to believe Vegas couldn’t sell out a Steph vs. the Lakers preseason game. Tarps all over the upper deck in T-Mobile Arena.

It ultimately took a solemn picture of Sam Smith in his hospital bed, with an ABA ball, to convince the NBA to agree to Recognition Payments in 2022. What will it take for the NBA to recognize the historical significance of including ABA stats in the NBA records?! 🤨
