You Tube Gold: Game 6 Of The Last ABA Championship Series

Here’s a classic blast from the past: Game 6 of the 1976 ABA Finals between the New York Nets and the Denver Nuggets.

The Nuggets had a superb front court with Dan Issel, Bobby Jones and the great David Thompson. Monte Towe was also on the roster.

The Nets had Julius Erving of course and also Swen Nater, Bill Walton’s very capable backup at UCLA, Bill Melchionni, whose brother Gary went to Duke and whose nephew Lee played for Coach K later, guard John Williamson and a rookie guard named Al Skinner who would later go on to coach Boston College.
