1974 ABA All-Star Game
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The seventh American Basketball Association All-Star Game was played January 30, 1974 at Norfolk Scope in Norfolk, Virginia before an audience at 10,624. Babe McCarthy of the Kentucky Colonels coached the East, while Joe Mullaney of the Utah Stars coached the West. During the day's game, the Virginia Squires infamously traded away star player George Gervin to the San Antonio Spurs in exchange for $250,000 as a means to help keep their franchise afloat.
Rookie Swen Nater scored 29 points and grabbed 22 rebounds for the West team, but the East team won the game and Artis Gilmore of the Kentucky Colonels was named MVP.
