Dan Issel wore No. 44 at Kentucky, and tomorrow he's signing his new book on the Rupp concourse near Section 44 before Texas Tech (5:30, per the publisher). I choose to believe that's on purpose. Tip time and TV are here https://t.co/apqEgaM5LL

Can't make it tonight? Catch Dan at tomorrow’s University of Kentucky vs. Texas Tech game on October 23! He’ll be signing copies of his book on the main concourse at Rupp Arena near Section 44. Stop by to meet a Wildcats great and get your copy signed!

The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame honors the amazing career and exemplary life of Cliff Hagan. A two-time All-America at the University of Kentucky and six-time All-Star in the NBA, Hagan and his trademark hook shot helped the St. Louis Hawks win the NBA championship in 1958.

Li'l Abner was fierce, competitive, physical, and supremely talented. The Basketball Hall of Fame is proud to preserve his legacy.

[Soul Power & the ABA @abathrowbacks]

Dan Issel is the #172 all time scorer in NBA history, 7 points behind Richie Guerin!

Wait, what?! His ABA points aren’t included in the NBA stats??

When they are, the Horse vaults to #14 all time, where his 27.5k points are just behind Shaq and Melo!

Right the wrong, NBA!
