Forgotten Franchises: Kentucky Colonels

Historically Speaking Sports

Through the duration of the American Basketball season which spaned nine years, only two teams played every season of that league. One was the Indiana Pacers who is one of the four teams that merged with the NBA in 1976. The other was the Kentucky Colonels.

In their nine seasons as a member of the ABA, the Colonels won more games, had the highest winning percentage in league history and featured three future basketball hall of famers. One of them is the ABA's all-time leader in points and assists.

Host Dana Auguster will highlight the great moments of this once great pro basketball franchise.

Later in the show, we will send a shout out to the coach that led the Colonels to their only ABA title in 1975. But he is best known for his time as a coach and television analyst for the NBA.

As a long time coach in the NBA with several stops including the Atlanta Hawks, the New York Knicks and Memphis Grizzlies, Hubie Brown could be considered a basketball lifer. His two coach of the year honors occurred 26 years apart and knowledge of the game of basketball is unmatched and is still showcased on television even at the age of 90.;
