We will discuss on @TheNLSC podcast.

Happy 78th Birthday to Dan Issel!
A seven-time ABA All-Star, Issel never played fewer than 76 games in his 15 year career in the ABA and NBA. Across both leagues, he totalled 27,482 points and 11,133 rebounds; a further argument for the NBA to include players' ABA career stats.

Wilt Chamberlain in NBA Live 06 PC.
On this day in 1959, Wilt debuted for the Warriors in a win over the Knicks; the team he'd later score 100 points against. It also began a streak of 1,045 games - his entire career - without fouling out, a mark later bested by Moses Malone.

Happy 51st Birthday to Keith Van Horn!
The runner-up to Tim Duncan for Rookie of the Year in 1998, Van Horn became the cover player of NBA Jam 99. The lockout-shortened 1999 campaign ended up being his best statistical year, though he did go to the Finals with the Nets in 2002.
