The Whooper being 76 (has me by a few), but I still feel old, as I followed Billy Paultz's ABA career (for that matter Kevin Loughery's NBA career too)

LeRoy Ellis was another Johnny of that era, I think I caught towards the end of his NBA Career.
3 Johnnies in the NBA when there were fewer teams, who'd thunk it.

I'd think The Whopper knows how to celebrate his birthday. The legend around Queens was that one year on Halloween, Billy showed up at Ten Downing Street in Kew Gardens (wonder what happened to that place) dressed as a giant 6'11" pumpkin. You older guys would know better, but it appeared that Paultz was no stranger to a good time and could drop.in at any local bar at any time.
He also had a place near Hofstra in which he was a part-owner.
The best Halloween outfit Iāve seen worn by a big man was a few years back when former Redmen Terry Bross dressed up as Buddy from the movie Elf. Downright cool and hilarious.
The Whopper once had 33 rebounds in a ABA game .
He was one of those players that became a better Pro than College player .
Not that he was a bad player for us
Hard to believe heās 76 . He certainly made the most of his abilities and had a long Pro Careet .
Happy Birthday , Whopper

I believe that there was a second one but not sure of the location
I frequently "frequented" the one near Hofstra
The Whopper is one of my all time favorite Johnnies!!!

Great player who gave birth to our own Paultzman.
