They were lead by a big guy 6’8” Ed Roman who was banned from the NBA for taking bribes. I saw him play in as a ringer in a Andonia AC team In a SRO Shelton HS Gym . He hit a 12-15 foot hook shot on a fast break that I’ve never seen anyone else do. Amazing shot . That game featured a bunch of banned guys like 7’0” Bill Spivey who scored 67 pts The buzz was Wilt night play for the Milford team as he was in a contract dispute with the Warriors but he was a no show . . Thr preliminary game was a women’s game featuring a teenage Joan Joyce who was head and shoulders above everyone else scoring 30 on 15-18 foot jumpers.She would be a star in WNBA If she wasn’t the best female athlete in history I don’t know who would be .
