Anthony Dabbundo

He signed a free agent contract.

I want to say with like Atlanta, but somehow ended up at new Orleans at one point.

And he,

put up 23 and 15 for an entire year in the 78 season was first team on BA.

And this was a big stretch for power forwards where, um, this was when we had the fight with Kermit Washington.

Um, they, you had Morris Lucas, George McGinnis, um, Kermit Washington, um,

You had a truck Robinson that just a lot of big physical power forwards that were around there at the same time.

Buck Williams eventually came in the league and truck was probably the best rebounder of all of them.

Now, as a kid, I don't think I ever saw him play.

He was barely ever in the playoffs.

Um, would Pat, he was in the wrong conference, but he ended up getting traded again, uh,

Um, to Phoenix and I think 79 playoffs made the Western finals with them and they lost to Seattle.

So he was in the mix in real games.

They, and then in 81, they lost to the Kings, but that was a team that son's team maybe could have made the finals too.

Um, he was good though.

He was a banger, super physical, really good rebounder and ended up with the Nike poster.

World B-Free, I was way more focused on as a little kid, going from being just the ultimate Dion Waiters type guy on Philly, goes to the Clippers and just 29 a game the first year, 30 a game the second year, and was really fun to watch in person.

you'd think like now he would probably bomb, I don't know, 10 threes game.

Nobody, the three point line didn't even show up till 1980.

But with him, um, kind of, he, first of all, he was bald, but it was one of those bald, but had hair in the back.
