Great to see my favorite basketball player of all time inducted into the Hall of Fame! He should have been there sooner. He was a seven time ABA All-Star, and is the ABA's all-time leader in points, 3-pointers, assists, and games played.
9Ballr...agree with you!!!!!
What a great player!!
he and Darrel Carrier were the first 3point twins
Great player, even greater guy!
Greatest sharpshooter in ABA, period
King Louie!
Not to downplay his basketball career, but Louie has been an outstanding citizen and businessman since his basketball retirement, reflecting on his true character. He influenced many young ballplayers in Louisville, and then San Antonio, for well over a decade, but his influence as a community leader since then is far larger. We could use many more just like him.
Congrats to former SAN ANTONIO SPUR Louie Dampier, Now, a HALL OF FAMER !!!
I was in the gym the night Louie scored 20 points in the first 8 minutes of the game against Vanderbilt in 1966. His running jumpers were mostly from a distance that would have been three-pointers. Had the NCAA had a 3-point shot then, he might have averaged close to what Pete Maravich averaged. The Pistol didn't have the outside shooting touch that Louie had. Then, again, maybe nobody else had that touch.
He looks friendly
“Louie, Louie, Louie!!”.
i have mass props for Louie, he came from my hometown. But the Hall needs to forward with its next ABA selection. And if there is a HoF, then either Billy Keller or Freddie Lewis need to be inducted.
CatfishHunter61..hear hear...both should be in the hall.......you have to be ABA guy..that was a great league .....i can think of other guys who should be in such as willie wise
@@kenneth7826 Jimmy Jones, Mack Calvin, Warren Jabali, Freddie Lewis, and Ron Boone (the iron man who never missed a game in his career) should be in too, just to name a few
@@tjabbar more from the ABA SHOULD get in...your list is impressive......add Willie Wise...peace...Ron Boone as you said never missed a game....guys take games off not Ron Boone.....the ABA was a great league...
Can you imagine a team with 2 shooters like dampier and carrier!
Yes, Dampier and Pat Riley
Who is carrier
@@jbwc Darrell Carrier of the Kentucky colonels ..he could shoot very well..career not long enough 🙄
@@wi54725 dampier and Riley at Kentucky wildcats in college..dampier and carrier early years of the ABA KENTUCKY COLONELS
When you think of the ABA all time starting five, you have to put him as the starting point guard, he was the John Stockton of the ABA
More like Mark Price or Thunder Dan of the ABA for me. Sharpshooter
@@ytgc-royalewarex5190 Yeah, his style of play like Price but his reputation in the league, more on Stockton level, or you could say style and reputation as a Stef Curry
i think he was a very underrated all around player, could drive and had a nice runner in lane, could get long rebounds and make safe passes. Mark Price is an excellent analogy
Great player.....he could shot.....should have been in the HALL much sooner...he was Steph curry before Steph curry......
Read a story a few days ago he was making the net sing tunes at someone's house. Dan Issel said that back in the day, you could really hear it go in when Louie shot.
@@TexasTeamRoper1 good morning..i don't know how old you are but the ABA was a great league...the 3 pointer was a strategy shot..not the way they do it today..
@@kenneth7826 I was born a year and half after the merger. But my uncle talks about the league a lot. I have the ABA ball the family had after grandpa died. ABA was revolutionary.
@@TexasTeamRoper1 good morning spencer...hold onto that ball..i remember a number of years ago these question was asked of doc..dan issel..George gervin..moses..artis gilmore which NBA team today reminded them of a top notch ABA team..they all said golden state ..not because of the 3 pointer..movement of the ball..great team speed ....the way Dan issel played in the NBA it was the same in the ABA ...no different..peace
@@kenneth7826 yeah. Agrees. My uncle told me about the Colonels could have beaten Barry's 75 GS team. Badly. Even run them out of their own building at that time.
