I always wondered what happened to David Latin's Pro Career? He just dominated in college. Can't remember him in the NBA or ABA? I know he was too short to be a Pro Center but the guy was definitely a Power Forward.

I saw both of those games too. Also saw the first UCLA/Houston game when Alcindor had the scratched eye and Hayes went off on him.

Re: David Lattin: He had 2 years in the NBA and 3 years in the ABA. Just too short for a center and he had no outside game. After that, he played on the Harlem Globetrotters for years iirc.
