For the past 4 or 5 years, there’s been a prevailing mindset that goes: “We don’t have video footage of it, so I don’t believe it.” 😐 So here’s a short 12-minute report on Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 points. Please share it to help skeptical people understand that back then, we didn’t have the same TV coverage we have today.

In the summer of 1971, the two leagues agreed to play pre-season interleague exhibition games for the first time. In the very first NBA vs. ABA game on September 21, 1971. #SoulPower During the first few years of the rivalry, most of the interleague games were played in ABA arenas. However, Buoyed by younger, better talent and the home court advantage, the ABA won the overall rivalry 79 games to 76 🏆 Only two NBA teams refused to schedule exhibition games vs. ABA teams : Los Angeles Lakers & Cleveland Cavaliers ABA vs. NBA exhibition games were always intense, due to the bad blood between the leagues. Ultra-competitive superstars were thrown out of interleague games with multiple technical fouls. Coaches like Larry Brown and Tommy Heinsohn often ended up listening to interleague games in the locker room, after being ejected. Occasionally, the interleague games highlighted some bizarre situations. In the fall of 1972, budding ABA superstar Julius Dr J Erving decided to switch leagues. He left his ABA team, the Virginia Squires, and reported to the training camp of an NBA team, the Atlanta Hawks. The Atlanta Hawks actually used Erving in two exhibition games against ABA opponents: the #ColonelsComeBack and the Carolina Cougars. After those two games, the courts ruled that Erving had to honor his prior contract with the Squires, and Erving returned to the ABA. In most ABA vs. NBA games, the rules were as follows: - The ABA's red, white and blue ball was used for one half, and the NBA's traditional brown ball was used in the other half. - The ABA's three-point shot (and 30 second shot clock) was used for one half only. - In certain games, the ABA's no-foul out rule was in effect for the entire game. - Generally, the league hosting the game provided its own referees.
