Elgin and Rick Barry are probably the most underrated players among all of the top-tier all-time greats. You never hear about either of them today. Elgin, Jerry West, John Wooden, and maybe Chick Hearn put the sport of basketball on the map in Southern California. Rest from your labor great one!!
RIP GREAT KING!!!
Basketball back in those was not what I would call a mainstream sport. It was mostly white players and the game was played beneath the rim. I remember when the Knicks started doing broadcast. maybe you got 4 games a month. There were no Sunday games of the week.
You got ore college games than pro games. I don't believe we got many regular season games until the mid 60s. Back in the days where everybody wore Chuck Taylor Cons. If my memory serves me correct Walt Frazier had the first sneaker contract the Puma. I got mine only $29.99. The they looked good, wore well and they were the shit as long as you weren't playing basketball.
Iconic player!
He basically could do it all.
Averaged 38 ppg one season while having to fulfill military obligations.
That's insane.
Bad executive though.

I think your guess is way too high
I am glad to have been able to watch him and so many greats play.
