I wasn't, but if anyone wants a good history on the league, told by the players, coaches and others who were directly involved with it, go read the book Loose Balls by Terry Pluto. Fun knee title, I know.
There are a lot of bizarre stories about the ABA, and especially about the team the Silnas briefly owned, The Spirits of St. Louis. I recommend Loose Balls for more and even crazier stories.
Loose Balls is an amazing read, and easy to just pick up where you left off to read 15-20 pages at a time. Very entertaining and a great oral history of the crazy league that was the ABA. Very sad to hear about Barnes. Never got to see him play really, but by all accounts he was one of the most dynamic scorers of his generation. Shame drugs got the best of him. RIP, Marvin.
