Dan Issel (1970-1984)
Dan Issel made a name for himself as an offensive threat in both the ABA and NBA from a record-setting University of Kentucky basketball player. He was in the former for six seasons until it merged with the latter. He won a championship and established himself as the second-leading scorer to ever join the league! For ten years, he dominated the court as a player with the Denver Nuggets. At 22.6 points and 9.1 rebounds per game, he nearly got a double-double for his career average. Something else from his career stood out to us as well. Did you know that he missed only 24 games in 15 seasons? Whoa!
