Billy Knight was a 3 time all-star (1 ABA, 2 NBA) and made the all-ABA team once. He played for the Pacers in both the ABA and the NBA. He was an extreme offensive talent, averaging 28.1 points in the final year of the ABA and 26.6 points in the first year of the NBA. He was also an excellent rebounder for a shooting guard/small forward of his size. He is the only player in NBA/ABA history to not be in the hall of fame and average 28 points and 10 rebounds in a season (joining names such as Wilt Chamberlin, Shaquille O’Neal, and David Robinson).
