I was born in Indianapolis, and grew up in Southern Indiana, in the suburbs of Louisville. The Kentucky Colonels-Indiana Pacers rivalry was huge in my youth. The Pacers were the best ABA franchise. The Colonels were closest to my heart.

I'm so glad this footage exists on KZfaq. Kind of crazy how quickly a 3-point line seems to modernize classic basketball footage (relatively speaking).

The games were so fast paced and high scoring you'd never know the ABA actually had a 30 second shot clock for most of it's history.

I was working there typing play by play action at the Oakland Coliseum. My position was at the end of the table. At the end of each quarter I would run the stencil I was typing on and pass it down the table. Time, the scoring shot (player, 20 ft. jump shot) and score. I sat at every home game and needed to know every players name in the ABA and how to spell it. That was a time when fast breaks were part of the game. It got pretty crazy at times. My high school teacher got me the job and I was 18 years of age. A memory I'll always cherish.

Loose Balls by Terry Pluto is a great book on the ABA, I highly recommend it. Names before they were famous in NBA, and so many guys who weren't. Did you see Mel Daniels just grab that ball with one hand? He was amazing, Bob "Neto" Netolicky, Warren Armstrong (later Dr. Warren Jabali), so many more...great to see this.

+Christopher Socha Then former Baltimore Bullets partner Earl Forman bought the team and moved it Washington call it the Caps, their colors were supposed to be red, white and blue, but they still wore the Oaks colors of white, green and gold. Sadly they played at the Coliseum and were stupidly still in the west division. Next year Bullets owner Abe Pollin forced Foreman to move to Hampton Roads, VA where they became the Squires, because Pollin was playing some games at Maryland's Cole Field House and had intentions of moving to DC. About this time there were merger rumors between the two leagues.

Thanks for some truly rare footage. I wish there was much more. That Oakland team was outstanding. Can you imagine if Rick Barry didn't have a season-ending injury in December in a game vs. the NY Nets? He played less than 40 games that season, which hurt the league a great deal because he was its top attraction.

Rick Barry was a great player although after his serious knee injury he had to adapt his game. He developed his outside game and was less of a slasher. However, he was always fast - they didn't call him the Miami Greyhound for nothing.

That was one of the best years I've ever seen a player have and that was post knee surgery, of course. I would have loved to have seen that Oaks team at full strength with Barry, wow. I'm sure they would have given any NBA team big trouble. Barry is the most underrated player in history, in my opinion, you never hear about him much.

@@jingqi9106 You are again correct on all points. Sadly, his "I say what's on my mind" attitude made most players dislike him. The same was true during his ABA years. Think about it, he finished THIRD in the regular season MVP vote by the NBA players in 74-75. Insane. If the vote was by the sportswriters in each NBA city, he would have surely finished first. Underrated by most fans except those that really understand the game.

Sadly, the Oaks lasted only two seasons: They finished with the worst record in the ABA in Season # 1 when Barry was forced by court order to sit out the season. In Season # 2 they won the ABA championship despite losing Barry after less than 40 games due to a serious knee injury in December in an away game against the NY Nets. He was the leagues leading scorer at that time and was eventually declared the league's leading scorer.

Imagine that team with Barry! After the bad knee injury, Barry had change his game from a slasher to more of a perimeter scorer and passer. Of course, Barry was still amazing but was no longer was the rebounder he was pre knee injury. Rick still had great speed and quickness though and was a terror in the passing lanes as well as one of the best scoring and passing forwards ever.
