Cowens showing off his short-shorts. It's interesting to compare how the materials used in the uniforms have changed over the years. This one looks pretty basic, when compared to the more "tech" jersey materials of today.

The undersized (6'9") Center was a defensive beast, won 2 rings, an MVP, played in 7 All Star games, and minded the store for the Celtics between the Dynasty and Bird years.

1 ring as a player, 1 as a coach, ABA MVP, 5 NBA all star. Won his ring alongside Hal Greer and Wilt, then played a few seasons in the ABA. An injury ended his career, and put him in the coaches seat. He reached 200, 300, and 400 wins faster than any other coach in league history. He made it to the Finals as a coach three times, winning once. He was also a minority owner of the Miami Heat for 7 years.

Great rebounder, the prototypical power forward. He was also a great defender. DeBusschere played alongside Willis Reed, Earl Monroe, Walt Frazier, and Bill Bradley. DeBusschere wound up working in the Knicks front office, and drafted Patrick Ewing. A great athlete, he also played baseball for the White Sox, getting one hit in his MLB career. He won 2 rings, and made 8 all star teams.

"The Glide" was a 10 time All Star, won a championship with the Rockets, and a gold medal with the "Dream Team" in the 1992 Olympics. It was a thing of beauty to watch him lead the fast break. He lost in the Finals (as a Blazer) to Detroit and Chicago (remember Jordan shrugging his shoulders as he was bombing threes?) He won his ring against the Magic.

Dr. J, working at his "office"..

He was the man, becoming the only player to win the MVP in both the ABA and NBA. Every kid that ever picked up a basketball in the 80's knew Erving's "Rock the Baby" dunk over Michael Cooper, one of the Top Three dunks of all time.

He won an NBA title, 2 ABA rings, 1 NBA MVP, 3 ABA MVPs, 11 NBA all star, and 5 ABA all stars.

11 time all star, rookie of the year, and an NCAA champion. He also won Olympic gold in 1984 and 1992. Ewing had the "luck" to play during the Jordan dynasty, but still held court as one of the most dominant players of his era. In a time of big men, he was one of the biggest.

2 rings, 7 All Stars, and having Earl "The Pearl" as his backcourt running mate. "Clyde" (did you know his nickname came from the hat he wore, which was similar to the one Warren Beatty wore in the movie 'Bonnie and Clyde'?) held pretty much all of the Knicks records until a guy named Patrick Ewing came along and rewrote the books.

"Iceman" was a scoring machine. He led the NBA in scoring for four seasons (three of them consecutively). Gervin's finger roll was his trademark shot. He was a 9 time NBA all star, and a 3 time ABA all star. He never won a ring, but did get to play alongside Dr. J and Michael Jordan during his career.

1 ring, 10 all star, 1 all star MVP. He was the leading playoff scorer on his championship team, a squad that included Wilt Chamberlain. Greer was also knowm for shooting his free throws as jumpers. He once scored 19 points in a single quarter in an all star game, a record.

"Hondo" won 8 rings, 13 all stars, 1 Finals MVP, 5 time all defense 1st team. He also was drafted by the Browns in the NFL as a WR. Havlicek is the Celtics all-time leader in points and games played, scored 1,000 points in 16 straight years, and was known as a great clutch shooter.
