Old ABA Pacers is my "wheelhouse". Neto Raja Mighty Mite Boo Boo Fritz Dr. Dunk Robo Big Mac, Baby Bull (Netolicky, Brown, Keller, Buse, Lewis, Hillman, Robisch, McGinnis). I can't remember what they called Mel Daniels - want to say Tex, or Cowboy or something like that because of his love of horses. As for real names, there was a guy back in the 80's named Hawthorne Wingo (mentioned in a Beastie Boys song, lol). Remember Indiana H.S. players God Shamgod, and a guy at Broad Ripple with the first name "King" or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Leonard was responsible for a number of nicknames on the Pacers. OT, but did anyone see the interview with him last spring when he expressed his delight that we got Romeo?

When I was in high school our coach, Don Rogers used to have several players come in to talk at his summer camps. I remember Billy Keller, Louie Dampier and Neto. When Neto came I remember him driving a blue Corvette. Being a young punk I remember how tall he was and that good looking car. I was out looking over his car and when I looked inside it there must of been about 30 beer cans thrown in the back seat. What a life he must of had back then. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a life he must of had back then. lol Netolicky had a "club" where all the players would hang out. I believe it was called Neto's in the Meadows (an area on the near Northside of Indy). My uncle claims that George McGinnis would drink a few beers and smoke a cigarette during halftime when he played for the Pacers. It was different time back then, that's for sure. Roger Brown was at our house in '74. Unfortunately it's while he was an on-duty special deputy with the Marion County Sheriff's department... He shot me a funny look when I looked up and saw this tall guy - I didn't recognize him at first. I was drinking something out of a Marathon Indiana Pacers glass, but I don't recall if he was the player depicted on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother used to go in there all the time. I was too young. I remember seeing a picture of Len Dawson during half time of Super 1 sitting in a chair having a smoke. Roger Brown is one of all time favorite players. He was such a talent and it was such a shame what happened to him earlier in his career. Man could he shake and bake!

milehiiu Posted January 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I never realized that Michael Jordan had numerous nicknames. What are some of Michael Jordan's best nicknames? Completely off topic, but in reference to M.J. His steak restaurant in Chicago has on the menu a flight of steaks, for just $225. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was too young at the time as well, and I don't think I'd venture into that area today. You've probably seen it, but there's an outstanding documentary called "undefeated" about Roger Brown on PBS https://www.pbs.org/video/wfyi-local-productions-undefeated-roger-brown-story/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
