Parting Shots

Daniel Paul Issel is one of the top 50 players in Pro Basketball history. He was with the Denver Nuggets since 1975 until he resigned in 2002. He couldn't stand the losing. Dan was a memeber of Kentucky Coach Adolph Rupp's 'Runts', who won the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship team in 1967. Issel played 1971-86. He played F on the greatest Pro team ever, the Hubie Brown Coached 1974-75 Kentucky Colonels ABA squad that won 74 of 84 games. He played along- side the great Artis Gilmore, who is ninth in Pro Basketball scoring with 24,500+. No cauca- sion has scored more points in Pro BVasketball, 27,482, than Issel. He retired as fourth alltime in 1986. He is wrong about Lew Alcinder, i.e. Kareem Abdull-Jabber though. He was cussed at by a drunk mexican idiot who called him a 'kraut' once when the Nuggets lost a game. Issel appolo- gized, but how come the drunken fan didn't? Poli- tical Stupidity at it's finest, I guess. That's why our borders are wide open! Issel is only half ger- man/half english american mix though. He is doing Real Estate today. Can't wait for John Rocker's book to clear that up as well.
