Love this thread and hearing the different connections.

Bill Musselman - same BB camp
Dr J when he played in the ABA.
Rick Barry - went with my dad to pick him up from the airport in Denver when he jumped from NBA to ABA.
Gordy Howe, Bobby Hull, the infamous Carlson brothers - WHA
Billy Jean King World Team Tennis (She owns it now)
Ozzie Smith, Johnny Miller and Rollie Fingers - Played golf (separate events). Won senior pro-am with Rollie in San Antonio.
