Indeed. Iowa kicks him out of school without so much as a shred of real evidence of any involvement with point shaving on the east coast.Good call on the Hawk. Thats a pretty interesting story with all he went through. Sounds like he was a amazing talent. I see he even made the NBA hall of fame.
Then, the NBA black-lists him. He plays for the ABL for one year until it folded.
So, he joins the Globetrotters for three years until the ABA came a calling.
He was vanquished to the ABA until 1969 when the NBA settled a lawsuit filed by Hawkins.
