Remember The ABA: The Secret Life Of James Silas (by Dan Pattison) The Secret Life of james silas (column written in March 1976) Pass the word, though, the NAIA has given pro basketball another gem in the likes of Earl "the Pearl" http://www.geocities.com/~arthurh/ABAArticles/PattisonArticleSilas.html
Extractions: By DAN PATTISON (DENVER) The ABA's best kept secret is San Antonio's guard James Silas. Living in obscurity is a way of life for him. The 6-1, 185-pound guard was a two-time All-America at Stephen F. Austin. Stephen F. Austin? No one is sure yet whether that is a college or someone who just died at the Alamo. It hardly rings a bell like a UCLA, Indiana, Maryland, Kentucky, North Carolina, etc. But while Silas was there, the little NAIA Nacogdoches, Texas school was a power. His senior year, Stephen F. Austin was 29-1 and he averaged 30.7 points per outing. "No one heard of Stephen F. Austin even though we had a good team," Silas pointed out. "I think scouts should look to NAIA schools more. "There are good players in the NAIA who don't even get a chance. Coming out of the NAIA hurts a guy. If you have a big name like a Travis Grant or Elmore Smith (both former Kentucky State stars), it doesn't hurt you. But it has hurt others. There is no recognition. The bigger schools get the ink and television exposure. I thought I was as good as anyone I read about. I always thought I was as good as the big college guards. Now, I'm getting my chance to prove it." But playing with the Spurs in the ABA, Silas is back where he started living in obscurity. The ABA has no television exposure and hardly captures the national headlines. The only headlines it has corralled lately is the sinking or staying afloat of the Virginia franchise after three other franchises folded this season.

Extractions: If you can identify any of the pro basketball players and coaches pictured above and to the left (click on them to see if you're right), then you remember the "red, white and blue" league: the defunct American Basketball Association. The ABA existed from 1967 to 1976 for nine full seasons. During that time, the ABA fought a bitter war with the established National Basketball Association (the NBA) for players, fans, and media attention. In June 1976, the two rival pro leagues finally made peace. Four of the strongest ABA teams (the New York Nets Denver Nuggets Indiana Pacers , and San Antonio Spurs ) joined the NBA and survived. The other remaining ABA teams (such as the Kentucky Colonels , the Spirits of St. Louis

Overshadowed by scoring star and backcourt mate Gervin, Silas earned a reputation as the team's best clutch player. The 6-foot-3 team captain won several games by hitting the last shot in the closing seconds Thus, his nickname - "Captain Late."

USA Basketball: Men's Pan Am Games Team History -- 1955 was the case in 1951, selection of the 1955 USA Pan American Games basketball teamwas Cecil silas, 4, 8, 4- 6, .667, 20/ 5.0. james Paxson, 5, 3-, 10- 14, .714, 16/3.2. http://www.usabasketball.com/history/mpag_1955.html
Extractions: After capturing the gold medal in the inaugural Pan American Games, the United States entered the 1955 Games at Mexico City, Mexico, eager to repeat. Although the USA suffered its first defeat in Pan American competition, the team regrouped and won its final three games to capture the 1955 gold medal. USA Brazil Argentina USA USA Mexico USA Cuba USA Venezuela 1955 PAN AMERICAN GAMES FINAL STANDINGS 1. USA (4-1)* 4. Mexico (2-3) 2. Argentina (4-1)* 5. Cuba (1-4) 3. Brazil (4-1)* 6. Venezuela (0-5) *Final standings determined by point differential between tied teams. As was the case in 1951, selection of the 1955 USA Pan American Games basketball team was again no easy task. Originally, the U.S. Olympic Committee announced that the 1955 Pan American Games team would consist of five AAU players, four college players and five players from the Armed Forces. But because of the game's March competition dates, college student-athletes could not compete. Instead, the U.S. Olympic Committee decided that the 1955 team would consist of seven players from the AAU and seven players from the U.S. Armed Forces. The 1954 AAU champion Peoria Caterpillars were unavailable because they were representing the USA at the 1955 World Championship, so the 1954 AAU runner-up Grihalva Buicks of San Diego, California, were chosen. A camp featuring 20 of the Armed Forces' top players was held at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (OH) to determine the Armed Forces' seven players.
