Connie Hawkins was the precursor to Dr. J who set the table for Michael Jordan. A standout at the University of Iowa, the Hawk was a stud in the ABA and then NBA. He had some controversies around point shaving/gambling which tarnished his legacy, but for you young kids out there - look at sole game film and stats. My only regret is not getting a signed rookie card of him (1969 Topps tall boy) before he passes away.
